Reviews of local pros in San Antonio, Texas

Was a half yard short on mulch so went by to pick up another load at 4:30 on Sunday to find the gate closed and locked when there was still another 30 minutes to their posted close time.

They have organic soils which are good for planting, good customer service from alfonso

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Good quality product

PURCHASED 7.5 YARDS OF SUPERIOR SOIL FOR RAISED GARDEN BEDS. HAVE PURCHASE AT GARDENVILLE MANY TIMES AND NEVER HAD PROBLEMS. THIS TIME THE SOIL WILL NOT DRAIN WELL, HAS A CRUSTY TOP AND DOES NOT PROMOTE HEALTHY PLANTS. PLANTS ARE STUNTED, TURN YELLOW. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN SOIL PRODUCT FOR WHAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE A TOP OF THE LINE SOIL. I WAS TOLD WHEN I VISITED GARDENVILLE, THIS WAS THE BEST SOIL THEY HAD. I HAVE HAD TO ADD MANY NUTRIENTS AND SOIL CONDITIONERS TO MAKE THE PLANTS HEALTHY AGAIN. WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM GARDENVILLE AGAIN. THE QUALITY HAS DEFFINATELY DROPPED SINCE MR. BECK SOLD THE BUSINESS TO THE NEW OWNERS. DON'T THINK THEY HAVE A CLUE ON "ORGANIC" GARDENING OR SOILS. NOT A VERY FRIENDLY STAFF EITHER. EXTREMEY DISAPPOINTED. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS TO ANYONE.

The staff are among the most helpful people I have encountered. Rebecca and Daniel are the BEST!! Always helpful and so very friendly.

Great place for all plant care staff friendly and very willing to answer any questions you might have regarding most all plant and tree care!

Wouldn't go anywhere else for my landscape needs. A hidden gem tucked back off the beaten path. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff.

If you are ever at this wonderful place do watch out for Lidia Montemayor . She will RIP you off and you wont know it until it's too late. She is a con artest

Great place to get soil, mulch, or lawn dressing by the yard. Been coming for years!

Excellent customer service and very well kept up around the whole place and plenty of room to maneuver your truck and trailer with no problems

No longer owned by the Beck family but they do carry many of the Garden-Ville products . Bulk sales mainly but you can bag your own.

Horrible service they don't treat the customers very good anymore they speak a great place to go to buy all your soil and fertilizer needs but just recently over the past couple years they have gone down the hole and the billboard sign says there's three San Antonio locations I have not seen three San Antonio locations only seen two

Great prices and top quality materials. Try the pesticides and fertilizers

Excellent facility to purchase your organic products. Driveway is rocky. Purchased Living Mulch yesterday which is a combination of mulch and compost.

It was my first time there and they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I'm working on 3 raised beds, so I'll definitely be back!

I've been dealing with Garden-ville for almost 40 years, since it's founder, Malcomb Beck ran the place. I've never had a bad experience; Just the opposite. Several years ago, I was looking for some lava sand to restore an old flower bed. None of the big box store garden centers even knew what lava sand was. Even some local garden centers were of no help. Garden-ville had it. I purchased 2 40# bags and they gave me a damaged, almost full bag at no cost. I think some commenters just have a chip on their shoulder.

Gardenville is close by, and I needed 6 cubic yards of soil for a new raised bed. I shopped around and visited several soil sources, and all were reasonably similar. The superior soil seemed to be a viable option, as far as appearing to be well draining and the listed components were adequate.

So the first time I attempted to get someone to help me the salesperson (the young lady with the British accent) stood around chatting for 15-20 minutes with someone else. Then to be sure my dump site for the soil would be adequate I showed her pictures, and she was unsure. So she supposedly texted the pics to the delivery guy and would get back to me with his response. I waited for a week and received no contact from gardenville.

Now back to this initial visit. My wife picked out a pair of garden gloves for my young daughter, and after the girl scanned them she went on about how small her hands were and wondered if the child size gloves would fit, at which point she decided to try on the pair we were purchasing. It seems she should concern herself with playtime on her own time, and do her job during business hours.

So after not hearing back from Gardenville for a week we decided to go back out because the soil did seem to be the best at a somewhat, if slightly higher, comparable price. This time the sale went better, after the counter clerk (different young lady) got someone else to verify that the dump truck load of soil would fit where I wanted it. The soil delivery was set for the following Monday morning.

We waited for several hours for the soil that Monday morning so I called and the delivery had been scheduled for the wrong Monday ( a week later). The person I spoke to on the phone blamed this on the young woman who had taken the order.

Well they did finally get our soil delivered, and after approximately 4.5 hours I had it in the back yard via wheelbarrow and shovel. Then a few hours after that my vegetables were planted. Now a couple of months later we have had to replace dead and dying plants, and the rest were mostly yellow with a great deal of leaf drop. After side dressing the plants with quality compost (from another, all around better vendor) the garden is finally looking up. I have extensive experience in growing many different varieties of plants including many, many vegetables. This soil is a great let down especially after spending over $400 dollars for it. At first planting the nutrient levels should have been great for our vegetables, going by Gardenville's claimed soil components. We will not be using Gardenville again.

Great for DIY to commercial landscaping needs rocks, mulch, compost, etc. Friendly staff that provided great customer service. They offer delivery. Looking forward to visiting for future projects.

My go to for material, alway quick service and a few times I’ve called and got same day delivery! They have dirt, rock, sand, mulch, road base and a lot more.

They need to add to their hours of operation when they stop accepting brush. It's 4pm. We came in at 4:30 since hours of operarion says 5pm and was received in a rude manner acting like we were foolish for walking in. No need for all that
