I have been going there for years. I like that there is some place close that I can get large quantities of soil, mulch and decorative rock. They are always kind and helpful.
Bought 3yards or pea gravel from them. Zero issues. Good customer service
Not sure if they are still purchasing compost from the city green waste facility but the material is not composted correctly and can contain weed seeds. I would recommend any other product they sell.
Excellent customer service, prompt delivery.
*Attention Home Owners* you do not need to be a commercial client to shop at the bulk yard! If youre planning on revamping that landscape this year you CAN get your materials here for a fraction of the price compared to Home Depot or Lowes! Literally, I got 3x the amount of sand for less than half of what I payed at Lowes! Thankfully I left the stuff from Lowes in the bags so I can return it tomorrow before I head back to the bulk yard for the rest of the sand I need. Very knowledgeable staff and super nice guys! Special thanks to David for getting me the right materials!
Three people behind the counter, all focused on their devices. Minimal interaction. Reluctant conversation. Fine for my needs that day.
Locally owned and operated. Great place to go for mulch, bark, stone/rock, pavers and more. Reasonable prices and great service.
Awesome people did me some good I bought pea gravel
Had what I needed. Price was right. In and out with paver sand quickly...
I am so disappointed in the two products we purchased from The Bulk Yard. Soon after the Covid-19 shutdown, I was excited to hear that The Bulk Yard was delivering. The woman I spoke to twice of the phone had poor customer service and did not seem informed on the products. We decided to have some top soil delivered. The experience went so smoothly that a couple days later we ordered some decomposed granite (DG) as well. The man that I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and knowledgeable.So, why the 2 star review? Honestly, I wanted to give 1 star but didnt think that was entirely fair since we couldnt go down to the store and inspect for ourselves the products we were buying. Unfortunately, its completely based on the product quality. Once we started moving the top soil to our raised planter beds, we discovered it had very little organic material. It was mostly rocks and sand. When we wet it down, it turned to a clay-like cement and would not drain. We had to buy 10+ bags of organic material from Home Depot to amend it for growing vegetables. I asked many questions about what the top soil was made of, explained my use, and was assured this was the right product. It was not even the quality you get from Home Depot/Lowes. It would have made beautiful landscaping dirt, but that is entirely different from raised planter beds.The DG... I explained detail that I needed a product that would be good for a walkway in the garden, wouldnt slip, and wouldnt grow weeds. I inquired about one of The Bulk Yards dirt products; however, the woman informed me that decomposed granite was the way to go because it wouldnt slip and weeds would not grow in it because it is decomposed rocks. Well... on all accounts: FAIL. The DG is probably marble sized and smaller. Despite tamping it down, the rocks slip and slide into the grass all the time, even with a weed barrier. My dogs dig it up like sand. It is incredibly painful and sharp to walk on. AND, the crab grass LOVES IT!! Were finding the crab grass grows and travels on the DG like a super highway. I am so beyond disappointed in this product.We were referred to The Bulk Yard from a local nursery that was closing its doors. I was so excited to find such a resource in Bakersfield, but we wont be buying from here again. I will say that if you can go in person and survey for yourself the product you are purchasing to confirm it will work for your needs, then they might just be the place for you. Thats the only reason Im giving two stars instead of one.
Great easy place to do business. I just needed a quarter yard of rocks, they loaded it right away!
Great variety of bulk bark but staff (woman in office) was not very friendly and very unhelpful. I’m all for supporting local businesses but I will take my business elsewhere next time.
These guys here are as friendly and helpful as they come nice to see a business like this that is family oriented ! Great job !
Went there to check out pellet grills. The owner, David, spent a lot of time explaining the different models and their features. He even did a price match on a Green Mountain Grill unit, and had it delivered the next day.These folks are terrific, friendly and most helpful. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
I have a large yard and have been getting bulk materials from this place for years. The good prices and friendly service keep me coming back. I have 4 friends and family who have also been pleased with the Bulk Yard.
Great place and fun. I buy sandstone for around my yard. I just do a little at a time and they dont mind at all. Thank you!
The worst customer service. Any question seemed to be at huge expense to receptionist. They just lost the potential of a very large order.
I began going to The Bulk Yard because they were close. I kept going back because they are friendly, helpful people. I have had them do concrete landscape borders and have purchased sand, topsoil and rock. I have been happy with every purchase.
This place is awesome! They also sell barbecues! Super polite!
Great experience, the people there are nice and knowledgeable of the product and have the best pricing in town.
Lowes wanted $7.50 a cf for 3/4 Stone.... These guys got it for me for $2.25
Excellent
Helpful and prompt delivery (in the rain even)

Did not have the product I needed for a weekend project. Told to call back in the morning to see if they would have it.

Great value and customer service. Hidden gem.
I purchased 16 yards of top soil. They delivered 16 yards of sand mixed with a little top soil. Very disapointing.
Really good prices.
Helpful, both on the phone and in the store.
Wow not helpful staff(woman)
Has everything you need in rocks!
