How big is a cubic yard?
In one cubic yard there are 765 liters. Just think, if you purchased a cubic yard at the store, you would need 27 store bags! That’s a lot to carry and a lot of trips to the store…

Information for Delivery
Do you offer same day delivery?
Please note that online orders are delivered within two business days.
Do I have to be home for delivery?
If you place an order online, you do not need to be home but must indicate where you want the product unloaded by marking your driveway with an ‘X’. You provide authorization for us to drive our equipment on to your property by submitting your order online and indicating that you agree to the delivery terms.
Do you deliver split loads?
Yes, we deliver split loads in single axle, tandem, and triaxle trucks to one location. This means that you can get two different products in one truck. Our split truck boxes are designed to have a gate in the middle to keep the products separated. The middle gate is locked in place until the driver clicks the release button. So as the truck box lifts, the product at the back of the truck will come out first. The truck will move ahead, the driver clicks the release button which allows the middle gate to swing, which in turn allows the second product to slide out of the box in to a second pile.
Refer below for truck quantities available. Split loading charges apply.
Do you deliver products in bags?
Yes! Greely’s Gardening Bags are 1 cubic yard bags that are 3 ft X 3 ft X 3 ft. You can receive soil, mulch, river stone, sand or crushed stone in our 1 cubic yard bags. And our Gardening Bags are a full cubic yard, 100% guaranteed! Clean and convenient!

The trucks vary in length from 18 feet to 30 feet, which depends on the size of your load.

Other Information
Can I pick-up my order?
Yes, you can come and pick-up your order.
We have two customer-friendly landscape depots located at either end of the city. Both of our depots are clean, safe and easy to use. If you have a pick-up truck or trailer, we are able to load it with our convenient 1 cubic yard bucket. Keep in mind if your truck has a cap, we will not be able to load you with our loader; therefore, you would need to load yourself. Please note: Any trucks or trailers being loaded must be safe and meet MTO standards. Please bring a tarp to cover your load before leaving our yard.
If you do not have a truck or trailer, there are many other means of picking up a product you desire – compost containers, recycle bins, pails, and much more. GS&G would be happy to help you complete any sized order, no matter how big or small.
Our Topdressing Soil™, GRO-MAX® Soil, and Mushroom Compost are also available in 30 liter bags for your convenience (Available in spring season only). There is a minimum charge of $30.00 for pick-up truck or trailer loads. Applicable taxes are extra.
What does picking up my order cost?
We’d love to have you come to either of our two conveniently located landscape depots! Normal delivery charges are waived for pick up orders. If you’d like to receive special pricing for pick up orders, please call us at 613.821.3003.
