Distinctive Lawns

Used these guys last year’s to deliver mulch. They advertise a great deal and they sweeten it even more if you order 10 or more yards so I figure hell yeah I’ll give these guys a shot. Big mistake. I call them on a Friday for the mulch at around 3pm to see for a weekend delivey. You would of though I was ordering on Christmas eve. A grown man crying acting like he was doing me a favor. After saying it was no big deal if he couldn’t of made it, he insisted on doing right now before he closed up for the day. Thinking this guy was doing a nice deed I gave him the address and thanked him figured I’d hook him up with a big tip. I ordered ten yards and 30 minutes later I see this 5 yard rack body truck coming down the street not even filled. Already I’m thinking here we go two trips for this delivery. This big burly guy gets out pissed to all hell, I guess because I live in a nice neigborhood and I’m holding him up from his weekend enjoyments. First thing I says is, what do you have two trucks coming. What are you talking about you have over 10 yards in here he says. I go how do you put ten yards in a 5 yard body. He tells me this isn’t his first rodeo. I should have told him to pack it up but it probably would of turned into a knock-​down-​drag-​out. Everyone the reason you get a deal for 10 yard deliveries is because you don’t get 10 yards delivered big surprise right. Every summer I worked as a landscaper/​gardener while in college so I know exactly what 5, 10, and 20 yards looks like. I says to myself it been 5 years since you have been in the industry maybe your not as sharp and the supplier is right. Well I know i needed 10 yards because I measured out my beds. Sure enough it was 4 yards short. This long story summed up. The more you order the less the amount of what you ordered you will receive. The owners presume you the homeowner have know idea what the quantities look like. For large orders place them with the county MUA they will cost a little more but they will give you way more than you order. As my wife always says, «the cheap guy always pays twice.» It’s true.
