However, you won't get as much mulch as you get from others, so BEWARE! We order 20 yds every year from other suppliers but this year ordered from Pete Rose due to price. We didn't even get half of our yard done! We knew how much mulch we normally get and this didn't come close. Neighbors even commented that there was no way we got 20 yds. We started putting it down at 1 PM and were done by 4:30. No way I can wheelbarrow 20yds of mulch that fast. We even questioned the driver about it and called the company, but they were not willing to do anything. I will not order from them again. (Hide)

I have had consistent EXCELLENT results with hardwood mulch delivered by Pete Rose over the last 5 years. They delivered on time and we wouldn't consider using anyone else.

The service department has always spent as much time with me as I needed. It is really a one stop have it all kinda place. As too this top soil question, I can understand the frustration, however clay is very rich in nutrients and a major plus to any good top soil. Many of my friends are quite jealous of my rich clay soil.
Virginia Tech has a recipe on how to mix up a good top soil, I would check with a Tech Ext. agent in any county in Virginia, Tell them what you are planting and they will give you that specific recipe.
Pete Rose will mix the soil to your specifications.
See the link to find your recipe www ext vt edu/ put the dot back in tho.
Rose has no idea of which soil structure he is to provide unless you ask. If this were the case he would need 25 different top soils. Plus he would insult as many people asking such a question. (Hide)

I had the same issue with the soil from Pete Rose. I requested (and paid extra for) a mix of topsoil and compost, but nothing did well in it. It took a lot of attention to condition the soil adequately. I think it would have ended up being cheaper... (More) I had the same issue with the soil from Pete Rose. I requested (and paid extra for) a mix of topsoil and compost, but nothing did well in it. It took a lot of attention to condition the soil adequately. I think it would have ended up being cheaper and less work to buy 100+ bags of topsoil from Lowes. (Hide)

Top soil looked good on delivery but turned out to be disguised clay - SEVERAL WITH SAME EXPERIENCE
Soil appearance can be very hard to judge at delivery, but once plants will not grow and a soil sample reveals the truth about the soil composition it's too late to discuss according to Pete Rose. Moving soil is a dirty (excuse the pun) job do yours...

(More) Topsoil in the Richmond area is not a good medium in which to grow plants. There is an abundance of clay and sand in local topsoil, but it has a VERY low content of organic matter, which is critical for plants to grow. Pete Rose, Inc. sells an amended soil that is comprised of 50% topsoil and 50% organic compost. This product is ideal for lawns, flowerbeds, shrubs and vegetables. It is important to do some research when it comes to landscaping products. A little research would have averted the problem this customer had. Clay cannot be "disguised." The company was not trying to sell an inferior product without the customer's knowledge. The topsoil Pete Rose, Inc. sells is ideal for uses pertaining to topsoil, such as filling low spots and so on. As with anything else, it is imperative to use the right product for the job...which is our amended soil. Had we known about this review earlier, we would have responded sooner.
