Dirty Larry the sod man

Dirty Larry does deliver as promised - four to five hours late for good reasons - but he did deliver the day he promised and very polite - that is until he received his money and deposit for his "Skids". However, collecting the "Skids" is an issue and when he was reminded to collect and return the deposit, Larry could be dirty with his words, both verbal and text.
I guess, in his pressure business he can be forgiven and I hope he will collect his skids and return the deposit - if he remembers the addresses.
Just to let everyone know now that his sod is of high quality and in spite of "skids" issue, I will still recommend him.

Very prompt and timely deliery

I called Larry on Monday morning to see if I could get his Premium Peat Loam delivered the same day and Larry delivered it by 1PM as promised.
This is what I call a quick delivery of a good product.
To top it all off he even gave me more soil that what I asked for without charging me for it.

Black Peat Loam from Dirty Larry's

I had 5 cubic yards of black peat loam delivered to my home in Milton in early spring 2018. I used it to plant cedar trees to replace trees that had died in clay soil in my back yard. My tree supplier said the trees will love this soil and thrive in it as he had used it in other customers homes in the past. I also used it to top dress my lawn and in a few short weeks my lawn has never looked so good. Larry is a very nice man to deal with, the peat loam is a bit more expensive than other soils you may get, but you pay for what you get. In my opinion it is worth it if you want a great looking lawn, especially if you have poor soil in your area like I nod with clay.

3 Yards of Soil

I felt compelled to wrote this review as when I was researching Dirty Larry, the only two reviews on HomeStars were very poor. In honesty, I was hesitant, as I was dealing with a stranger through Kijiji with poor reviews, but I was in a hurry to get my lawn work started and I gambled.

I'm glad I did. The quality of the soil I received was top notch. It wasn't cheap ($300 for 3 cubic yards), but it is the best soil I have worked with. I will absolutely deal with this company again.

Top soils and sod

We ordered top soil and was given more than we ordered and had to include 50.00 more that Larry said to give to the guy that dropped the sod Larry said the sod guy would come durinh the week he showed Friday night less 15 rolls that we ordered we found out after laid
We called Larrys for days and left message He said not to worry tbhe sod guy on holidays now and would do bring h the rest at end of week when he gets back and said he would never steer me wrong. So I had grass growing nice in one area but close to our new patio where short was mud everyday with the watering. At end of week no show again with the rest of the sod that was already paid for. Be did not answer our calls now My daughter called under another number that he finally called back to and when she answers said it was for our address he said to stop harassing him and it would get there when it would get there. It never got to us. We had to find another place and buy more
