What Boyer Nurseries & Orchards Inc supplies

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.

Bagged product suits containers and small beds; once a project passes roughly ten bags, loose material almost always works out cheaper per cubic foot. Ask whether bulk pricing is available before loading a cart.

Because Boyer Nurseries & Orchards Inc 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

Garden and soil products is sold by the cubic yard. One cubic yard equals about 27 cubic feet — roughly thirteen 2-cubic-foot bags.

As a rough guide: 1 yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 in; 2 yards covers about 215 sq ft at 3 in; 5 yards covers about 540 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 207 reviews on file, 172 are five-star (83%) and 27 are four-star. 7 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 Pennsylvania, this rating places Boyer Nurseries & Orchards Inc in the top 46%.

Across the 2 suppliers we list in Biglerville, the average rating is 4.8.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 4.7 drawn from 207 reviews reflects a substantial track record.

Hours and visiting the yard

Boyer Nurseries & Orchards Inc is open 7 days a week. The yard opens as early as 8 AM and runs until 5 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 Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering garden and soil products 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.

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.
