Outstanding service. Same day delivery. He tailgates the gravel over the driveway so I didn't have to spread it out. Very reasonable price as well.

Friendly, quick (very quick) service and delivery. Topsoil is excellent! Beat the previous place I used (Creekside) in price (by $50) and speed of delivery on topsoil. Northeast Ohio Stone will now be our new supplier for any future needs! Highly recommend!

Best place to get gravel, stone, and topsoil in the area! 👍🏻👍🏻 Julius goes above and beyond. He will drop your order off wherever you need it as long as it's accessible. It makes it so much easier than having to haul it yourself. Prices are very reasonable too!

I have had a great experience! Prompt service and exactly what I wanted! I will never use another company after this. Cannot recommend him enough!
I had a great experience working with North East Ohio Stone. My driveway was measured, a fair estimate was provided and delivery was timely. Julius both tailgated the stone and raked it around the garage doors. He provided special filler where some potholes developed over time and added and raked the stone for a good seal. And he stayed with the agreed price. He was both fair and honest, and did great work. I highly recommend this company!

Our land is very wet so naturally we get a ton of erosion. We got a truckload or topsoil a few years back, but the quality of the dirt wasn't great, and for the price, we basically wasted our money. So, we needed another truckload this year. I called several places to get estimates, but Julius, from North East Ohio Stone, LLC gave me the best prices.
Not only was the pricing great, but Julius was professional, friendly, and memorable. His customer service was excellent. He was very accommodating, even offering to immediately deliver the dirt although the time was inconvenient for himself. Well, I didn't feel like we needed the dirt so soon, so we scheduled for a few days later.
Julius, was going to be early, but already communicated this when we scheduled. He called that day, and asked if he could come early, and I agreed. He was very friendly, and personable. He delivered the dirt himself and put it where we requested. Great experience and great company!
Now, to the what you're probably asking, "How is the quality of the topsoil?" It was the best quality topsoil we've ever bought. The dirt was rich, great texture, and not full of rocks. Seriously, it was the softest topsoil I've touched. I'll never order from anyone else.
If you're deciding on whether to choose North East Ohio Stone, from the quality of topsoil to pricing, they're just the best.
