Got 3 way top soil. They warned there would be a few pebbles but it is 80% pebbles. Not impressed.

This is one are the coolest rock quarries I've ever been in. They have everything you need for landscaping. They sell everything you need for your cold stoves for heat. And I'm here for a total different reason it's a beautiful venue for a Tough Mudder race we rented out. To put up her obstacles and have these folks run through and it's just beautiful filled with wildlife I've seen traces of elk deer and Bear

It was fun going to the tough mudder out there today. They really do have everything figured out and they made it a great experience for everyone that attends.

PCC employees are stars, from the office to the yard to the delivery drivers. They are the best. Friendly. Smart. Kind. I buy all my gravel, bark, rock and compost her. Every single delivery has been perfect. I have purchased 10 full 12 yard dump trucks of materials so far since fall of 2019 and I'll be getting more. Best driver? Will - hands-down the kindest man I have ever met.

Please note this is not a bad review of Palmer Coal but rather a review of a product they sell. It's the Cedar Grove "pure compost". I purchased a yard of it back in June. I unloaded it and was shocked to find batteries, shards of glass, unidentifiable pieces of hard plastic and shredded pieces of plastic bag material. So much plastic it will be impossible to get rid of it.

Not sure if Palmer Coal has had other complaints about this product. For the consumer DO NOT buy it from any source. It's really bad. Again this is not a reflection of Palmer Coal.

Our favorite place to get gravel, among other things. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and we get in and out quickly. They don't turn us away even when we get there close to closing time.

Excellent from order to delivery. I've had a few deliveries of gravel and sand for projects at my home. Each time they've given me option that would save me money, or product that would better suit my projects. When my yard was flooding they were able to deliver sand for bags that evening (may not be standard time - but much appreciated). The drivers have always been great as well.

Good prices, reasonable delivery charge. The staff is helpful in a old-fashioned way. My only gripe is it's cash or check only, no credit cards. Come on! It's the 21st-century. $1 million a year business run like a mom-and-pop store; go figure. Recommended.

We went there to weigh our vehicle. Weight of vehicle was required by state for transferring of license plate. At Palmer Coking Coal, it was done hassle free. The lady at the counter was very nice. She didn't even ask us to get out of the car for accurate weight. Tip: They take cash.
