What Altamont Country Values Inc. DBA Agway supplies

Full-line landscape supply yards stock soil, mulch, decorative stone, boulders, pavers, edging and often sod under one roof. That matters when a project needs several materials, because combining them into a single delivery avoids paying separate trip charges to multiple suppliers.

Loose material is normally priced by the cubic yard while stone is priced by the ton, so compare quotes carefully — the two units are not interchangeable and a cheap-sounding per-ton price can work out dearer.

Garden centers carry bagged soil, compost and mulch alongside plants and often sell bulk material from a yard out back. That combination is convenient when a planting project needs both the medium and the stock in one trip.

Because Altamont Country Values Inc. DBA Agway carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Landscape materials is sold by the cubic yard. Delivery vehicles vary; a tandem dump truck carries roughly 10–12 yards, while smaller trucks top out near 5.

As a rough guide: 1 yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 in; 5 yards covers about 540 sq ft at 3 in; 15 yards covers about 1,620 sq ft at 3 in.

Have length, width and target depth ready when you phone. Yard staff convert those into cubic yards far more reliably than a generic online calculator, and they know how their own material settles.

Ordering and delivery

Ask about delivery minimums and trip charges up front — for smaller orders these often matter more to the final bill than the headline per-cubic yard price.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Pricing for bulk material is rarely published in full, since it moves with stock and season. The business website may list current products, but a phone call will get you a firm delivered number faster.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 241 reviews on file, 204 are five-star (85%) and 28 are four-star. 5 reviews sit at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Across the 4 suppliers we list in Altamont, the average rating is 4.7.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.8 drawn from 241 reviews reflects a substantial track record.

Hours and visiting the yard

Altamont Country Values Inc. DBA Agway is open 7 days a week. The yard opens as early as 8 AM and runs until 6 PM.

Saturday opening makes this a practical option for weekend projects — a real advantage, since plenty of bulk yards shut for the weekend and leave homeowners unable to collect material outside working hours.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in New York

In New York, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering landscape materials in early spring often means waiting in a queue and paying peak rates, so booking delivery before the rush — or in late autumn for spring work — usually gets both a better price and a firmer delivery date. Many yards in colder states reduce hours or close outright through deep winter, so confirm seasonal availability before planning a January or February project.
