After months of searching for good cactus/succulent soil, we discovered the secret of "Ruth Bancroft mix". It is a perfect combination of small rock/sand, much better than numerous bagged mixtures we've sampled, and is only available at Contra Costa Topsoil.
The staff was pleasant and the price reasonable. We'll certainly be back!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joan S.Lafayette, CA210723Aug 5, 2023
Contra Costa Topsoil is a family run operation. You can tell because they go the extra mile for you. Tonja works in the office --and she makes deliveries too! She's very professional and friendly. Arrived on time as promised and took great care in maneuvering the truck to an area we picked.
She took extra precautions to prevent damage to edge of the pavers and made sure to ask about any sprinkler heads being in the area. In scheduling the delivery she gave up some of her weekend to make this delivery happen in a timely manner. I really appreciate this extra attention to detail, and you can be sure we will be returning customers. THANK YOU TONJA
Also: I Iove the special Ruth Bancroft Blend Soil which they make onsite. It is a light mix; has pumice and perlite as well as other ingredients which ensure drainage and a steady diet of micronutrients. In addition to using it to make some raised succulent/cactus beds I'm spreading it lightly over my whole garden.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 93169519Aug 28, 2020Updated review
Still wowing me! It's time for bark again. I ordered over the phone with Tonja and she was awesome to work with. Scheduling was easy and she kept in touch with me via text regarding delivery logistics. Once we had everything set, I was able to pay by phone and the driver showed up soon after. It's clear to me that the people at this company pride themselves on providing excellent customer service and support from beginning to end. Plus, they're just nice.
Delivery- he was so incredibly friendly and accommodating. I wanted the bark dumped in two different areas, that aren't easy to access because our road is pretty narrow, and it was no problem for him at all. He has some mad truck maneuvering skills! Don't be afraid to ask them for what you need.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0Nov 20, 2015Previous reviewI have been purchasing bark mulch for our yard for years and wish I had found this place sooner. Carlene was so helpful and nice to interact with. This is a family owned business and you can tell by the level of customer support provided...Fantastic! I ordered 14 yards of bark to be delivered same day and they were able to accommodate my request. The price was reasonable and delivery seamless. I placed 2 orders with another company in the last month and this order with CCT was far better. I've put these guys into my address book and plan to utilize them in the future when I need landscape products.

I would highly recommend Contra Costa topsoil to anyone who is looking for mulch or bark. The material that was sent to me exceeded my expectations. The medium size redwood bark was perfection. The color was spot on and the bark is nice and heavy. I've had other companies deliver bark to my home before in the past that had remnants of building, material and nails in it. That is not the case with Contra Costa topsoil. You definitely get what you pay for. This isn't like the bags you buy at Home Depot. It blow away in two days. Give them a try you'll be happy you did.

I too have been trying to call them multiple times over the past couple of days. I tried calling different hours but just keep getting a recording saying that the mailbox is full. I have no idea what is going on but this is no way to run a business.

Great communication and service, reliable and trustworthy. Multiple times, I needed same day product for my commercial construction project, and Tonja went above and beyond to deliver the same day and multiple loads as I ended up needing more than expected. Definitely my go to for all my outdoor needs!!!! Easy payment process too.

We called this location three or four times over the span of two days. Left two detailed messages with our information, phone number, what we were looking for... never got a call back once. It's a shame because they had the color and type of tanbark we wanted (for our backyard playground), and we had stopped by there and saw their options in person about 4 days prior but were past their closing hours by 4 minutes, so no one was there to help us or answer questions. They had a decent variety, but definitely not as much as I thought they would have being this huge lot and specializing in topsoil. We had so many questions about how it worked, is there an option to put it in bags, how many bags we'd need, do they deliver, does it cost extra, etc, and just never knew the answers to anything. We ended up purchasing a lot of red tanbark/mulch from the local Ace Hardware, and I doubt we saved money, but definitely saved the hassle of trying to get someone on the phone from Contra Costa Topsoil.

Don't bother. Their listings says: reach out and call us, Questions? But when you do they dont pick up the phone and when you leave message, they dont call back. Leaving 2 messages with no return call from them, why would I want to buy from these people?? If they cant even pick up the phone, why should I think they would be able to deliver?? Too bad there's not a "0" star rating....

Yes, unfortunately, we are more short-handed than ever, and there is nobody who will do my job while out on an injury. I would go somewhere else as well.

Tried calling on 2 different days. No one answers phone and after ringing many times, you get a message saying memory is full.

Been getting rock, soil and chips here for years. Much easier than County quarry and less expensive than Mt Diablo Landscape.
On top of that, This is a local family run business, happy to support and be a part of. Martinez community!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lester S.Orinda, CA057Dec 6, 2022
It must be off season. I called them three times and left a voicemail, but never got a call back. So I don't know if they are open or closed! I'll try call them next spring!
