So far we have purchased their veggie garden soil and DG, and are please with the products and prices. Plus they deliver all the way to Arboga for free. We definitely plant to purchase more from them, as we are happier with their soil than our more local supplier.

This is incredibly well supplied landscaping outfit. They have all the bulk materials you need from gravel to topsoil to walk on bark and mulch. I've got my gardening supplies from them for years, and they deliver anything over 5 yards for free. My best description is, they don't want my money, they want my business. And I like that!

I have been using Four Seasons for over three years (as of 2022) since we purchased out property in Browns Valley. I have had them deliver garden soil, which is of amazing quality, top soil (also amazing!), road base, Rip Rap, bark, and pea gravel.

David, this truly means a lot — thank you for such a thoughtful review. We work hard to keep a strong inventory of bulk materials, from gravel and topsoil to bark and mulch, so it’s great to hear that’s made a difference for you over the years. We’re also glad our delivery options have helped keep your projects moving. Your comment about wanting your business — not just your money — is exactly how we aim to operate. We appreciate your continued trust and look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Review from Google · view on GoogleI have been using Four Seasons for over three years (as of 2022) since we purchased out property in Browns Valley. I have had them deliver garden soil, which is of amazing quality, top soil (also amazing!), road base, Rip Rap, bark, and pea gravel. I have yet to have a bad experience whether I went in and picked up the material or had it delivered. I am very particular about who I give a 5 star rating too. I took lots of trips and many years to earn it. This company has earned it, every single time, in every way. I will be using them in the future for all my material needs, and I almost forgot to mention that their prices are more then fair. The prices have allowed me to do more than I thought I could. Thanks Four Seasons, please don't change!
Response from the owner · 8 months ago
Scott, this truly means a lot — thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re incredibly grateful for your loyalty over the past several years and for trusting us with everything from garden soil and topsoil to road base, rip rap, bark, and pea gravel. Hearing that we’ve consistently met your expectations — whether picking up or delivering — is exactly what we strive for. We take pride in offering quality materials at fair prices, and it’s rewarding to know that helped you accomplish more on your property in Browns Valley. Thank you again for your continued support. We look forward to helping with many more projects ahead!

Response from the owner · 8 months ago
Hi Robyn, Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We’re really glad you were happy with the soil — that means a lot to us. I’m sorry about the billing issues you ran into; that’s frustrating, and it shouldn’t have happened. We’re a small, family-run business and have since tightened up our bookkeeping to make sure things like that don’t happen again. We appreciate the honest feedback and the chance to do better.

SummerLocal Guide · 31 reviewsTotal number of Google reviews Summer has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Review from Google · view on GoogleHORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, if you could even call it "service." Went with a friend to buy sand for my garden and the woman at the window was less than friendly, less than helpful, and overall, contemptuous toward us. After several attempts at trying to dicepher how much to purchase and how to procure it, her nasty attitude won out and we left to find it elsewhere. My friend and I have patronized this business in the past, numerous times, but neither of us will ever return again. There are businesses which would appreciate our patronage, especially during Covid, so we'll stick to those, thank you. There are alternatives in the area, and I suggest you take your business to them.
Response from the owner · 8 months ago
Hi Summer, Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re truly sorry that your experience with us at the time was frustrating and fell short of what you deserved. Even though this review is from several years ago, we want you to know it’s still taken seriously. Behavior from our staff that feels dismissive, unhelpful, or disrespectful is never acceptable, and that is not the standard we hold ourselves to. Feedback like this has helped us reflect and make meaningful improvements in how we serve our customers. We understand how important it is to feel welcomed and supported when working on a project. If you’re ever open to it, we would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to earn back your trust and provide the positive experience we strive to deliver today.
