We have been purchasing from this team for over two years. With out a doubt they have consistently given us the most competitive pricing. I can honestly say we have ordered from them even when the job is over an hr away. This is just because the quality of the sod beats all those in our local market. I've had dozens of dozens of projects bug and small using Floratam and Bahia. Big Earth has always come through with exceptional turn around a and quality of goods. Matt, I personally want to thank you for helping other small businesses with great pricing and customer service. Thank you from all of us at FRPD " First Response" we will always try to use you guys when we have a need for sod.

I needed some 4x4x16 landscaping stone; for awhile they were totally out of these stones, but once they were back in stock I was able to obtain them from Big Earth for a very reasonable price. Their office and delivery staff were very professional, friendly, and courteous. Highly recommend them to anyone needing landscaping materials.

I think this is a nice store but they recommended Cyclone Landscaping to do our landscaping- I would not recommend this person as he did not follow through with plans and has not tried to reconcile. Poor business practices! I hope Big Earth takes this into consideration for their customers.

Very friendly staff from sales to delivery Everything was as expected at a good price. I purchased a large amount of brook stone. The stones are much nicer than I actually expected! Thanks Big Earth.
