Excellent selection! We got some smooth river rock for our turtle Taco Pete's 20 gallon tank. Our daughter found a small pretty piece of rose quartz for her bedroom too. Great prices & customer service. Will be back!

I used Sandman for the first time a couple weeks ago and was very pleased with the product and the service. We drove in with the trailer, loaded and out again in less than 15 minutes. They had a wide range of products and a great staff to help select.

Great service with reasonable prices when getting #411 stone. From calling for pricing through to delivery the process couldn't have gone smoother. The process of trying to get an asphalt driveway was frustrating and for 1/15th the price I ended up having a frustration free experience with Sandman and now have a stone driveway.

VFW Auxiliary 2898, Toledo, Ohio and its Youth Group wishes to THANK Sandman for their very generous donation of skipping stones for our "Yellow Brick Road" Membership Recruiting project recently. Our painting project would not have been such a success without this donation. I would highly recommend Sandman for your landscaping materials. A great COMMUNITY company!
