What Strawser Equipment & Leasing supplies

Bulk suppliers sell loose material by volume, which becomes markedly cheaper than bagged product once a project passes a few cubic yards.

Confirm exactly which product you are quoting — screened topsoil, fill dirt, compost blends and aggregate are priced very differently.

How much material you need

Bulk landscape materials is sold by the cubic yard. Confirm coverage rates for your project depth before ordering.

As a rough guide: 1 yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 in; 5 yards covers about 540 sq ft at 3 in; 10 yards covers about 1,080 sq ft at 3 in.

Order slightly over rather than under. Coming up short means a second delivery charge, which almost always costs more than the extra material would have.

Ordering and delivery

Delivery pricing usually keys off distance from the yard, so confirm both the charge to your address and any minimum load before comparing quotes.

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 35 reviews on file, 24 are five-star (69%) and 1 are four-star. 9 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.

Among the suppliers we list across Ohio, this rating places Strawser Equipment & Leasing in the top 87%.

Across the 47 suppliers we list in Columbus, the average rating is 4.3.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 3.9 drawn from 35 reviews is a reasonable sample for a local yard.

Hours and visiting the yard

Strawser Equipment & Leasing is open 5 days a week, closed Saturday and Sunday. The yard opens as early as 7 AM and runs until 5 PM, early enough to load before a normal work day begins.

The yard is closed on Saturdays, so weekend work needs material ordered and delivered before Friday close.

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 Ohio

In Ohio, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering bulk 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.

There are 6 other suppliers we list within a short drive, the closest being Reading Rock, Inc. in Columbus, roughly 1.2 miles away. 97 suppliers sit within a 25-mile radius of this yard.

Pricing the same material at two or three yards is usually worth the phone calls. Bulk rates move with stock on hand, and delivery radius often decides which supplier is genuinely cheapest to your address.
