Great service - easy to order, helpful, quick. The triple mix soil is exactly what I wanted and after a few days of watering can see it is well draining, remaining rich and dark. Nice earthy smell with a hint of manure. And the price is very competitive, especially with such quick and careful delivery exactly onto my tarp! I will definitely come back!

Md Fahim Wali

Great pricing and sod quality is good.

Francisco Lopez

Very nice place in the city, not as big as the ones you can find in the suburbs, but they carry good variety of plans, soil, e5c.

Li-Ann Yap

Tony is the most patient person, ever!! I ordered 2 cubic yards of soil for my mom's yard but wasn't able to be there for the drop. Tony was so patient when I called to double check that everything went well and he promised to "make it right" if the product wasn't what I had expected. The product was wayyyy more than what we expected and we are so grateful! Can't wait to order again in the Fall and be a forever customer ❤️

Patrick Rodrigues

Was recommended by Canadian Tire to have work done here under the extended Mastercraft warranty. Good customer service, and very happy with experience.

Sean Kruger

Tony and the team fixed my snow blower in a day. So grateful. They were friendly and professional and very helpful

David Daffern

Very helpful, lawnmower fixed with no fuss, nice people

Very nice place for all your garden needs, reasonable prices and great people. The store itself is not that great condition but you won't be disappointed. They also provide repair services for lawn mowers & Trimmers and are authorised dealers for Briggs and Stratton engines. Please like my review if you find it helpful.

Matthew McGowan

Tony was exceptional! I brought in a Greenworks Pro Electric lawn mower for repair, where I thought I had broken the blade shaft’s connection to the motor. Turns out the red emergency key was ajar; quick push back in place and it was working perfectly. As red as my face was with embarrassment, Tony was a gentleman and a professional: gave me some tips on what to look for regarding the warranty, and didn’t charge me for the inspection. I highly recommend Tony and Homeland for your small engine / lawn mower repair needs.

Gwen Hayes

John and Tony are just great. They picked up, repaired and returned our snowblower as quick as can be. Both are informative and enthusiastic about their work. Very knowledgable. They me a thorough explanation of the repairs completed including preventative measures undertaken. Very professional. Highly recommend.

Daniel Oleson

Great service and very knowledgeable people, I brought in my electric mower to be repaired and it took all of 20 minutes to look at it and fix the problem.

Mohan Naraine

Great service. Nice people and very good to support local families when you can. We get all our soil, screening and gravel here. Bought some gravel and finished a walk way today. Also bought 2 yards of triple mix last year to make new beds and you can see the end result.

Michael Unan

I took my snowblower today to Homeland for help with a repair and instead of just leaving it to be looked at later, Tony dropped what he was working on to see if he could fix it while I waited. Tony was thorough and patient and took a genuine interest it getting the snowblower working. 45 minutes later, the snowblower was up and running and loaded up in my vehicle. Tony even provided a few suggestions before I headed out the door. I'm grateful that I discovered this place - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you Tony for your help today - I appreciated it more than you'll know. Michael

Joe Piluso

Zachary daCosta

Quick and straightforward translation from knowledgeable people.

Andrew Boyd

Why did it take me 18 years of living in the neighborhood to discover this place. I just picked up a few rolls of quality sod at a great price. Forget the big box store, support your family run businesses.

Kazi Ashraful Alam

Highly recommend to any gardeners...owner and employees are very respectful. Soil and cow manure are reasonably priced and good quality.

Jody Preston

Tony is amazing...I was having an issue with getting my snowblower started and he got it fixed up as I waited. Went over the entire machine; tuned it up, tightened belts, changed oil, etc. Great service and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend

Haroula Kotsopoulos

Best flowers and vegetables for your garden. Our first time there and the owners were very sweet and helpful. Our vegetables have grown beautifully.

Thomas Marshall

Good prices. Great service.

Ric Tremaine

Old style Italian grocery store and garden center. Well stocked with a surprising variety of goods and garden materials. From basic food supplies to spring vegetable plants and topsoil ... Homeland offers everything you need to plant your garden and make dinner!

Kuo Chen

May 21, 2020 Ordered 6 yards of triple mix and I have never seen such a great quality soil. I'm a gardener, both home and as a profession. This mix smells and looks great (no scientific details here ????) and the texture is awesome. As opposed to ones that have a lot of wood mulch. I will definitely try to come by and check out your plants as well. Thank you! Update: Ordered another 3 yards with great satisfaction. I wanted to thank Anthony ＆ also the super friendly delivery person Corrado (hope I got the spelling right) for saving the day at one of our projects. Timely delivery ＆ accommodating site drop off. Remember people, in this summer heat with no rain, be a little diligent ＆ generous in watering your plants because not even the greatest triple mix can save your plants. ????

Mauricio Pulido Briseno

Great meat with John.

Kostas Kotsopoulos

Great prices Felt like a kid in a candy shop. Can't wait to see what the garden will look like

Charley St. Croix

Homeland had the best Top Soil, Triple mix and manure, guaranteed weed free soil. Being a paraprofessional contractor in the landscape maintenance business I have no choice but to ensure quality products are applied to my clients properties. Call them great customer service, family run business.

Tony is amazing to deal with. Always a quick response, fresh sod and attaches very very well. Best sod I've ever dealt with!

Ron Kishi

My email for a quote was answered quickly, and Tony picked up my phone call even after hours. I took my lawnmower in the next morning and he repaired it immediately, giving me a tip for fuelling. All for a very reasonable cost. Excellent service.

Good prices

Raul Andaya

purchased 5 bags of topseeding soil twice ( i didn't have room to pult all 10 bags in one trip) 3 weeks ago for my backyard lawn. Once i got all 10 bags i started putting on my lawn, i noticed that it contains a lot more mulch than should be, I only used 9 bags of soil for the area and kept 1 bag. I continued on to spread the grass seeds, used the back of the leaf rake to move dirt to cover seeds a bit and added more seeds on top. Watered the area for about 1 hour. Next day i noticed that their are lots of little rocks on the soil. It's been 3 weeks and haven't noticed new grass growth. The soil looks like demolition wasted that's been crushed and mixed with some mulch and compost and manure. I bought topseeding soil from another place to work on another area a few days after and that second area already has visible new grass growing. I sent email but no reply

Nik lawrence

Ordered 20 bags of triple mix which is usually a combo of soil compost and peat. The delivery arrived and the single person in the truck basically tossed it and my partner and I had to carry it to the porch. The triple mix was very heavy in what looked like wood chips and contained gravel and stones and clumps of clay up to5 inches around. The compost was barely different so hard to tell what was what. Very disappointed for the cost and will have Togo sonewhere to getsoil to top itifweare to grow small root veggies

Kim Tingchaleun

I got what Homeland G called triple mix soil that was full of twicks/ sticks. Hardly any soil. V disappointed. It stunted my plants n even damaged my most hardy plants. All my new plants tht sits in this soil are suffering from nutrient deficiency. I believe that Homeland is running dishonest business.

Tom V

I had a small engine repair to be done and the company that manufactured my unit directed me to Homeland as one of their service centers. From the first call Tony was very knowledgeable on the make and model and was able to provide a cost effect solution for my snow blower. I was very happy with the outcome however happier I spoke with a customer service driven owner who took his time to explain the issues and solutions effectively. They have me as a lifetime customer now.

Stac Draper

Homeland has been a landmark from my youth. Had soil and sod delivered this morning. OMG! I can't say enough.good things about Tony's customer service and the delivery man, I didn't get his name.... He was awesome and so sweet. I will definitely be doing business here again!

Bryañ Henderson

Excellent small tool repair

Katherine Benjamin

Excellent service by a great family! We ordered 10 cubic yards (a truckload) of topsoil and received even more than we asked for. Topsoil was excellent quality and Tony was available at all times by phone to guide us through the process of sodding. So happy to support a local business meeting the community's needs so well! Highly recommend.

Andrew McMillan

Tony is a very knowledgeable guy and the most honest small engine mechanic I have met. Explained what was wrong and provided info I wasn’t aware of for my Troy-Bilt tiller. I recommend his business for all small engine repair.
