I rented a 4'x7' open top U-Haul trailer down the street, wheeled into Mt Scott for 1.5 yards of fine Hemlock. I think they gave me closer to 2 yards and I was in and out in about 15 minutes. Couldn't be happier with the quality of the mulch and the service, easy peasy. I'll definitely be back when I need more.

Mt Scott is always the place to get landscaping needs and the like. Love their fire wood ever since they got it covered year around.

Good folks. Good prices. Great local source of landscaping material. From river rocks and paver sand, to burnable wood and bark dust or cedar chips. You can even purchase material by the bucket or bag if you're just patching a spot under your favorite plant or need to pack gravel for the hole in your driveway.

I stopped by today to get 1/2 cu yard of 3-way-soil. While the service was great, the measuring was completely off. I estimate that in best case scenario maybe they give me 9 cu ft. See the pic below of the dirt next to a 3 cu ft bag of peat moss. *** In response to the response: 1. I always appreciate businesses that try to make it right. 2. Regarding the peat-moss bag, I included in the picture as reference. HD says the bag is 1.5 cu ft. Side-by-side comparing it with the 3-way, that would be about 6 cu ft, or less that half of what I paid for. Maybe the person responsible for measuring needs some training?

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, plus dry firewood at a descent price. A good spot for both large and smaller wood needs.
