We are a family owned company specializing in quality topsoil, mulch, driveway gravel and landscape rock. We offer a variety of products from building materials to bulk goods. We have five locations serving the Kentuckiana area. We have been in business since 1991, and became incorporated in 1993. Whether you are a home owner who loves gardening and working in your landscape beds or a professional landscaper who makes a living taking care of other people's homes, Earth First has the products you need for your landscaping.
There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. If your mulch is packaged in a 3 cubic foot bag, it will take 9 bags to equal a cubic yard (27/3=9). If the mulch is packaged in a 2 cubic foot bag, it wil take 13.5 bags to equal a cubic yard (27/2=13.5).
Mulch for your landscape is a great investment for your home and your plants. Mulching is typically thought of as a way to make your landscape and home look great. While bark mulch does make a landscape look great, some mulches, such as Hardwood Bark actually helps plants, trees and shrubs grow strong.
We can handle any size mulch delivery quickly and easily. Earth First has the resources to handle your mulch delivery. We contract out dump trucks and semi-trailer trucks to deliver mulch up to a 150-mile radius of Louisville, Ky. We go out of our way to deliver customer satisfaction.

These guys are the best, hands down. Our property needed to be prepped for a future structure, a week long job. We bid it out to several others, Earth First responded promptly. After meeting with Chris it was immediately apparent that they possessed the expertise and equipment to do the job. More importantly, to do the job right. Also, while doing the work, they made our neighbors day letting the 4 year old examine the truck and excavator, very classy. Use Earth First for your excavating needs, they're worth it!

Chris and his assistant Raul updated our retaining wall and rockery with an amazing new European style design. We were surprised with their rapid response, valued workmanship and excellent referral. We would highly suggest this business and look forward to working with them again.

Earth First did major excavation and installation of walls, boulders, and steps for us. We live on a steep hillside and stability/retention were of utmost importance in this project. Chris and his team transformed our slopes into a visually stunning and accessible landscape. I can't say enough about how great of a job they did. Chris is a true artisan, placing each rock optimally to achieve a perfect look.

He is extremely punctual, completed the work in a timely fashion, and listened to all our inputs. It was a true pleasure working with Earth First and we give Chris and his team our strongest endorsement/recommendation.

Chris was recommended by one of my customers. His level of aptitude and attention to detail was great. Setting 1000 lb boulders on a pond liner was made very easy by him and his crew. Chris, hope you you read this and see the picture of what you helped create! Grateful! Thanks again.

I had hired another contractor to build a two rock walls. He came and just randomly placed rocks and said that was what I would get. After some "discussion", we parted ways. I contacted Chris and asked if he could salvage the job. He came out, looked at the existing work, and said he could fix it with the rock already on site. He and his helper showed up promptly when he said they would, carefully went over what I wanted, and then went to work.

They removed the first contractors poor attempt at a rock wall, and then skillfully constructed what I would call works of art. They then hauled in 13 yards of gravel to repair the driveway that had been disrupted during the rock work. And finally they placed the left over boulders at the edge of a parking pad to allow me to expand the pad. When they left, it looked like no one was ever here, except for two new excellent rock walls, and a crisp new driveway.

I am very particular when it comes to someone else doing work for me, on my land or my house. I have high expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris for any kind of earth work. He is a true professional, a gentleman, and a craftsman who takes pride in his work. Brian Mills Snohomish

We've been lucky enough to work with Chris on two projects- driveway/rockery grading issue and an entire backyard transformation. He is a true artist! Our rough ideas became an oasis thanks to his improvements, suggestions, and talent placing each boulder, riser, patio, and landscape beds. His experience gave us the backyard we dreamed about! His crew is so friendly, respectful and hardworking. No hesitation to recommend and use them again!

Chris and Will did a great job to help us reclaim our backyard. They accomplished exactly what we had envisioned and were punctual, courteous, and on budget. They're control over the machinery used was impressive even in tight spaces. They took the time to sweep, rake and restore everything before leaving which is not always the case. I feel confident in recommending their services to anyone looking for a reliable trustworthy company to help with the heavy lifting. Thank you Chris and Will, good job guys! Matt and Sharon

I run a branch office for a company that installs sheds & garages throughout western Washington, and in that capacity I work with numerous clients each year who require brush & tree removal, grading work and installation of gravel pads. Chris with Earth First is the only contractor I recommend to those clients. His responsiveness and level of communication with customers makes my job far easier, and his work ethic and attention to detail ensures that our installations have the best possible start. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

From start to finish Chris was a joy to work with. He helped us streamline our vision and added his his knowledgable opinions where needed. I especially loved that he was at the job site actually working and operating the equipment every day. His co-worker on the job, Will, was polite and courteous as well. Straight away I knew the job would be done correctly and to our liking. Would/will hire him again in a heartbeat. You can't go wrong with this company.

Greenridge & Wolfe's Landscaping have worked with Chris at EarthFirst since 2011. We have Chris do our heavy lifting and excavating. He has removed several hundred yards worth of old lawn soil for us and brought in new soil. Other work has included french drains, rockeries and grading. Chris is always on time and communicates well with our crews and the customer. His experience and quality equipment make our jobs much easier.
