Load out early get to the job
The yard opens at 8. Crews who know what they need are in and out before the first stop.
Buying by the load
Landscapers, builders, fence crews and property managers make up a real share of what goes out of here, and the reason is usually that we are closer than the next yard and the loader is not busy at 8 in the morning.
A contractor left this on the Google profile in 2021: they try to help us as much as they can so we can make a little more profits in our jobs. AJ's reply was you staying in business help me stay in business. That is about the whole policy.
- Mulch, stone, soil, sand and straw by the load
- Pallet quantities of pine straw
- Loader on site, no waiting on a delivery window
Commercial work
On the installation side, commercial irrigation and commercial lawn maintenance have been part of this business for decades. Controllers and backflow get built for access by whoever manages the property rather than whoever owns it, and maintenance runs to a schedule you can hand to a board.


What Gaston County says
Every quote below is a real review, word for word, from our Google profile.
I called this morning looking for prices on some mulch and expected to have to wait a few days for delivery. I spoke with Melissa and she helped me figure out how much I needed and quoted a very reasonable price and told me I could get it delivered in half an hour! Mac was soon in my driveway with a truckload of mulch. He drove that truck right up to my flower bed and dumped it right where I needed it.
I'm born and raised here, so I've known about AJ's for probably the last 30 years or more, but have never worked with them until now. They are awesome to work with. When you call them, you don't get a recording. They answer the phones and provide great insight and advice for the project.
This long established business continues to provide quality products for a reasonable price. The second generation is also involved and he delivers quickly, efficiently and never fails to treat customers respectfully.
Always great, the lady on the phone is always pleasant and soooo friendly, she is patient answering questions and helpful, the delivery guy is always friendly, he even dump my gravel in diff spots to make it easier to spread.
AJ will forever be my place and will always be the first place i recommend. I have begged my husband for years to fill an area in my garden with river rock. He was able to do that yesterday with the help of AJ's!
Great family owned and operated business. Honest, insightful and helpful in every aspect.
