Update: Owner reached out with an apology and offered to come get product and exchange it with what is needed for our grass. Mistakes and miscommunication can happen and they took ownership and offered a solution. Ordered 11 yards of filtered top soil about a third of it was unusable cheap mulch mixed in which we couldnt use. Super frustrating and not what we paid for.
