Final Edit: they came back and removed about 3 1/5 inches of the fill dirt and mixed it up with garden soil. It’s still very thick and hard and holding and retaining water like no tomorrow under the surface and very dry and cracked on the top, the right half has more soil than fill dirt and the left half has a lot more fill dirt than soil so it’s not a very even job but it is still better than it was before. Will probably still have to amend the soil for the next few years.EDIT: the owner did call and try to fix the situation by taking out some of it, and filling it with garden soil. That is very kind of him. Will update with the results!My fiancé hired them to fill a garden bed, they offered a more expensive mushroom compost but we declined (various reasons but one was that they couldn’t tell us what was mainly in it) and asked for regular garden soil. Either my fiancé had used the term topsoil because he isn’t the gardener, and they gave us fill dirt. Which, sure, it’s what he technically asked for by term. But they knew it was for gardening, that’s why the mushroom compost was offered. Not once did someone say “hey, topsoil isn’t for gardening”. Or, he asked for garden soil and they gave us full dirt for some reason. 700$ for 4 yards of topsoil/fill dirt is shocking for 150 sq ft garden bed. They were nice enough, though.We won’t be able to grow anything in this, it’s got way too much clay and the top is too sandy. It’s going to be extremely expensive and time intensive and physically taxing to fix it.

Just have to give a shoutout to my favorite landscaping company...Oakwood Lawn and Landscaping! I felt compelled to write a review after I came home yesterday to our beautiful yard of which had just been mowed! We have used many landscaping companies in the past...the most recent being one of the larger companies in Dayton. We were very unhappy with the lack of communication, inability to have anyone return calls, and the quality of the service. We have been with Oakwood Lawn & Landscaping for many years now, and I will never go back! They use a push mower at our request, and they do a fabulous job! We also use them for spring maintenance, and snow removal. And now during the fall season, they remove all of our leaves instead of blowing them to the sides. The crew is extremely friendly, and the company communication is excellent! This is a company that truly cares about their customers, and I highly recommend them for any of your landscaping needs!

I’ve had Oakwood upgrading my landscaping over the past few years and they’ve done a great job! Very professional and they do quality work. I’ve had a lot of compliments from friends and neighbors.
