Picked up these rocks for my new flower beds. Highway Fuel makes it easy. Ya pull up to the booth, tell them what you want, then just follow their directions. Those guys will load it for you, then follow their directions back to the scale/ booth and pay. Drive home. Done! These people are extremely friendly as well! Lots to look at, so get out there and beautify your yard! It's like painting only in real life!

Called from Portland, they said they had what I ask for, only to drive 45 mins to be told by gate guard they didn't have it. Drove on through the guard to office to find they did have the pond liner. This exchange leaves u with bad taste for Highway Fuel.for which I'm sorry.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Great prices and delivery was a cinch. They have a samples bin where you can go and look at all the available options in mulch, soil, and rock/gravel if you don't really know what you want.

Going to new places always brings out a small form of anxiety, for starters google maps sent me down the road to the south of the entrance. Which wasnt a huge deal. Guy at the entrance was really helpful and nice, explained what to do and where to go. I was in and out with a yard of gravel in under 7 minutes.
