Welcoming a new WSB sponsor: e-green landscaping and materials

| Delridge | Gardening | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle online

This morning, we welcome West Seattle’s e-green landscaping and materials to the West Seattle Blog sponsor team! Here’s what they want you to know about their locally owned business: “e-green landscaping and materials has been serving West Seattle since its beginning in 1999, with quality landscape contracting services and maintenance. They specialize in natural stone and concrete paver patios and walkways, along with garden renovations and design and build projects. They also have an ISA Certified Arborist and do full tree pruning, windsail pruning and shaping, tree health and hazard evaluations, and some tree removals. In 2003 e-green opened a new landscape and stone supply yard at 9010 Delridge Way SW, on the former site of Lenny’s Fuel. Here they sell bulk Cedar Grove compost and Veggie Garden Mix, Steerco Mulch, bark mulch, clean and minus 5/8″ gravel, drain/river rock, and builders’ sand in bulk or by the bag. They also stock both light and dark Basalt Rockery stone to match most West Seattle rockeries, granite boulder, quartzite boulders, a number of varieties of flagstone for walkways and patios, decorative pebbles and gravels, beach pebbles and more! They are West Seattle’s biggest bulk materials dealer and the only full stone yard in West Seattle. This winter they will add firewood and 5 lb. press logs to their wide selection of items. e-green offers full delivery service, with two residential sized trucks that can easily get into your driveway or back alley gates, including a small boom truck that can lift pallets of stone up onto your rockery, or pallet bags of compost, soil or other materials! e-green landscaping and materials is open from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday. You can find them on the web through their easily browsed website at www.egreenlandscaping.com or contact them at (206) 763-7625. They are easy to find at 9010 Delridge Way SW, Seattle 98106, just south of the stoplight at Henderson and Delridge. They are approx. 3 blocks north of Roxbury, and 1/4 mile east of Westwood Village Mall.” Thanks to e-green landscaping and materials for joining the WSB sponsor team; the current lineup is on this page along with information on how to join them.

We went there last spring for mulch, compost, pavers and rocks. I admit that we went initially because they were close to where we live, but we came back several times because they were friendly, patiently answered lots of Qs and treated us well even though our first purchases were quite small.

When I read the posting today I clicked briefly on their webite and saw they are promoting not only their own biz, but other related WS business. While I am not a WS or retail biz owner myself, I’d like to take the opportunity to support and encourage the concept of supporting local business by W.S. residents. We know that places like Home Depot can offer big-scale low prices, but there is a little price difference in my mind when you consider your time what HD cannot offer: customer service, knowledgeable and available personnel,(try to find assistance on the floor in HD!), easy access, quick in and out,easy to get or schedule delivery, specialized and environmentally conscious product, etc.
Local biz pay local taxes, hire local people and are much more likely to contribute to the community by supporting non profit social programs to festival events to creating and saving green space… and everything in between.

WSB has become a fantastic resource and thanks to current and new sponsors who are helping to keep WSB going and available to all residents; something I don’t believe we’ll see the big box stores doing anytime soon.

We love them too. One note that we’ve experienced…since they aren’t a huge operation, sometimes you need to leave a message and get a call back. They don’t have a bank of operators answering phones. Not a big issue if you know in advance and they are great to work with – and local.
