Lowell four miles from the loader
Close enough that plenty of people here just hitch up a trailer and come get it themselves.
Pickup makes sense here
For a small job, the drive to Ozark Avenue is short enough that a trailer and one trip beats waiting on anything. A yard of mulch, a few bales of straw or half a ton of stone all fit in a modest trailer without drama.
For anything past a ton of stone or three yards of mulch, take the delivery. Overloading a light trailer on the Lowell road is a bad afternoon and a worse set of tires.
What the older lots need
Much of Lowell is small, flat and built close to the street, with lawns that have been mowed for eighty years and never fed. Those soils are compacted and low on organic matter, so seed germinates and then stalls out in June.
Aerating and topdressing with a thin layer of screened topsoil in the fall does more for a lawn like that than any bag of fertilizer, and it is a job a homeowner can do in a weekend with a rented machine and a couple of yards of soil.

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.
Delivering to Lowell out of the Gastonia yard
It depends on the trailer rating, not the size of the box. A 3,500 pound axle should stay under about a ton of stone or two yards of mulch once you count the trailer itself.
