"Nick, saved my shed foundation from collapsing in. Half of my shed is countersunk into a hill and Nick was able to dig out the dirt and properly anchor my walls back in place, he also installed drainage tile and re graded the slope of then hill that runs along my shed. He provided amazing service along with professionalism and great care of my property not leaving behind a mess. I valued his professionalism and his experienced skill sets that I hired him again to bring in rock and regrade and level our driveway. I would recommend him to anyone."

"Derek showed up at the appointed time and date to discuss our landscaping needs.  We informed him of our budget and told him he had free reign to suggest  some interesting ideas...we were mainly interested in having something that would make our yard stand apart from other houses in the neighborhood.  As promised, within 2 weeks of his initial consultation, we received via email a .PDF of the design plan, including the names of the proposed flowers and shrubs.  We were provided with a web address of where we could see pictures of the plants, as many were unfamiliar to us.  In our excitement over the plan, we decided to add some additional items...landscape lighting to the front and some landscaping around a maple tree and bird bath in our backyard.  We asked that the old retaining wall stones be re-purposed for the backyard to save on costs.  Derek readily replied yes to our changes and submitted a revised bid.  We approved the final plans and set a date to begin work. There was a few days rain delay, but of course that was not their fault. The crew that dismantled the old retaining wall were careful with the stones and constructed a nice border around our tree and birdbath.  They completed this project with some hostas around the tree and some some day lilies between the tree and birdbath.  It was finished with some cocoa brown mulch.  The leftover stones  were neatly stacked against our fence by the back gate.  The front yard plants, accent boulders, new retaining wall and lighting ended up to be beautiful!  The crew that arrived each day were courteous, professional and cleaned up the driveway and steps at the end of each day.  The person in charge of the plantings shared tips on how to care for the plants.  There were 3 smaller plants that did not hold up well in transfer from the nursery, due to the heat.  They watered and fertilized everything and told us to watch them.  If they did not perk up, they would be replaced.  We are so pleased with the results and spend all of our free time on the front porch enjoying the new yard!  We highly recommend Penton and would certainly contract with them again!

FAQs for landscape soil, sand, mulch and rock delivery projects in Ames, NE

Topsoil packs your garden with the nutrients plants crave, improves soil structure, and lets water drain at just the right pace. The result is a welcoming planting bed that makes routine chores—like weeding and aerating—far easier. In short, quality topsoil boosts fertility, builds stronger root systems, and keeps your landscape looking vibrant season after season.

If you’re tackling a large area and have room to store extra soil, bulk delivery almost always wins on price. Bags cost more per cubic yard but arrive clean, sealed, and easy to haul around tight spaces or raised beds. Match the option to your square footage, storage space, and muscle power, and you’ll find the most cost-effective and hassle-free choice for your project.

First, measure the square footage you want to cover, then decide on a layer—most gardens thrive with 4 to 8 inches of fresh topsoil. A 40-pound bag spreads over 12 square feet at a depth of one inch. Multiply your area by the desired depth (in inches), divide by 12, and you’ll know exactly how many bags to load in the cart. Using this quick formula guarantees even coverage and a healthy, vibrant garden bed.
