Artesia Fertilizer

Not much to say other than for a place that sells all sorts of fertilizer, compost, mulch, etc. the facility is ridiculously clean. Just check in at the front (Stop Sign) and they’ll direct you to a driveway to load up. The staff is nice and accommodating with great pricing! Three truck loads of hardwood mulch on a Saturday later and our backyard is finally done! Go to Artesia Fertilizer!!!

This facility offers not only landscaping supplies but also storage for RVs. I was building a garden box and needed a significant amount of compost. After going to Home Depot first, I was pleasantly surprised by the options available here and the customer service. Prices are extremely reasonable and the owner was happy to help me load my truck, tie down my tarp and give me some advice regarding hauling the material. I am a happy customer and will be coming back for more.

Excellent place! For years I was buying garden soil at Home Depot, spending lots of money. I discovered this place from a Craigslist Ad, wanted to give it a shot, and so, I bought 2 yards of the Planter Mix Plus with Worm Castings for $ 80 ($ 40 per Yard). It’s a nice soil that drains well and stays moist during those hot days. I saved a lot of money, and Im ready to grow my vegetables in my raised beds! Very friendly service… just pull right in, tell them what you want and they’ll load you up! I’ll return here for all of my soil needs in the future! –Gabriel

I needed to mulch my backyard to keep the weeds out and moist in. I called to get an estimate and the lady helped me figure out how much I needed. When it arrived I was disappointed that they couldn’t deliver to my backyard as I arranged for when I made the order. They ended up dumping everything in my driveway because the driver said he was in a hurry and needed to make the delivery. The receipt I got from him clearly said delivery «backyard». He gave me the option to take back the order since the mulch was in a dump truck. I had to wheel barrel the entire thing to my backyard one trip at a time. I talked to them to see if we could reverse the delivery fee since it wasn’t delivered as arrange. They were able to reverse half because they «spent gas to get here»…which I live about a mile from where they are at. The material itself is good but the communication within needs a bit of improvement. The supervisor said he would work on with his staff (hopefully so others don’t go through what I went through)
I would suggest You ask follow up questions since they take the order and deliver as is.

Javier really went out of his way to help us. Great customer service. I would recommend them without thinking twice.

Bought some firewood for cheap. The two female employees were very nice and helpful. Took my daughter with me and she said «I like them.» Definitely will go back and let our friends know.

Not the cheapest, but since it was closest to home, bought fertilizer, top soil, and DG (Decomposed Granite) by the yard. Park your car in front of the bugalow, and the staff will help you decide how much you need. They have a delivery option, but charge at least at extra $ 50. If you can borrow your friend’s truck, the staff will load it on the truck for you.

I finally discovered this place after wasting tons of money buying garden soil at Home Depot. I didn’t have a truck to load the compost in, so Rick, the guy who runs the yard, was kind enough to fill up some trash cans with compost for me. $ 10 for two trash cans full of compost! Not bad!
The compost was well aged and cured, had a fresh smell, and my heirloom tomato plants LOVED it!
I also bought a quarter cord of firewood from here, and it was really good quality. I want to say it was a mixture of pine and eucalyptus. There was more eucalyptus than pine, and the pine logs were perfect for getting the eucalyptus logs going for a nice hot fire.
This place is local gold to me. I’ll be going back this year for their planter mix to fill my raised beds.

After looking for a closer place for a supply of bulk compost to Long Beach than driving to Whitter Fertilizer in Pico Rivera, I decided to tak a chance at Artesia Fertlizer. The rates their higher end compost plus with worm castings ($ 27/​yard) seemed reasonable. I went out to the lot and was loaded quickly. At a cursory glance, the compost seemed fine.
When I got home and started unloading, that is when I realized how bad the «compost» actually was. Each shovelful I unloaded had rocks close to an inch in size. To make matters worse, I found multiple pieces of trash — mainly plastic sprinkler parts, and a few wrappers/​trash. The compost had large pieces of not fully composted manure that needed to be broken down more. I should have returned it, but I was already behind in working and decided it would be easier to just clean it out and let it break down more.
Avoid this place! Go to H&H Nursery for bagged product or Whittier Fertilizer if you need a lot of bulk.
