I'll be moving to Mt. Airy next week, and I want to get my backyard looking nice for the summer so I need to do a little (actually a lot) of landscaping. I need about a ton of pea gravel and 8 or so 8-10' arborvitaes, but I can't seem to find anyone who has both items and will deliver them. My mini cooper isn't going to cut it. I thought of renting a pickup from Philly car share to pick the stuff up, but I'm not sure about dumping loose gravel in the back of a truck that doesn't belong to me.

Anyone have ideas or know some places that don't think Mt. Airy is the end of the earth? Thanks much!

You might try that hardware store/garden center on Germantown Pike below Church Road/Harts Lane in Lafayette Hill. True Value hardware?

if you can't locate a place that delivers what you need, save one (or 2) of your moving blankets and line the Philly car-share pick-up; it'll prevent the scratching.

Holod's just up on Ridge Pike has a very good garden / plant center. Can't say for sure if they deliver - but good chance.

I didn't think of it before I posted the last time, but Sam Mills, who grew up in Mt Airy and lives in Manayunk does tree work and landscaping and is very reasonable price wise. I am pretty sure that he can get you what you need and bring it to you. He can be reached at 1-267-307-2364
