About Us

About Shep’s Yard, Inc.

In 2008 Shep’s Yard was created as a landscape supply company by Christopher Shepsko. After graduating from The Pennsylvania State University in 2003 and working for larger landscaping companies, he came to understand our region was lacking a place in which customers could purchase landscape supplies. His vision was that home owners and contractors would utilize these materials in order to assist in their landscape contracting needs. While offering locally grown/produced/manufactured materials and products at reasonable and competitive pricing, his goal has always been to help sustain local economics and agriculture.

Christopher made a conscious decision to focus primarily on the retail aspect of selling supplies, instead of installation. He understands that our contractor customers are extremely valuable in the success of Shep’s Yard, Inc. and therefore did not want to jeopardize their loyalty by also doing design/build/installation work. Gratefully, with a tremendous amount of hard work, diligence and organization, our family owned and operated business has flourished. We have established ourselves within the Phoenixville regional community and have become a pillar for our residential and commercial customers. When beginning new landscape projects, our customers come to Shep’s Yard for expert customer service, advice and consultation. They trust our experience and understanding of landscape construction and maintenance, and know that our team always has their best interests in mind.

Our Mission

Shep’s Yard is dedicated to sustaining local economics and agriculture, while providing quality materials at a reasonable price. Our goal is to provide exceptional and courteous customer services and expertise. We are continually trying to enhance and further advance Shep’s Yard so that it functions at it’s optimal level. Unparalleled organization and determination is always in the forefront of our goals, and is recognized by our customers. We strive to create and foster an environment that is functional and enjoyable for our employees and customers. We know that with all of these facets, we’re able to create a successful and prosperous business.

Important

IMPORTANT: Please carefully review the following Delivery Terms & Guidelines before proceeding with your order. By checking the box at the bottom of this page and completing your purchase, you acknowledge that you have read, understand and agree to all policies outlined below.

ONLINE ORDERS:

Online Ordering is only available for Bulk Material Deliveries. If you are picking up any materials from our yard, you do not need to call ahead or place any orders ahead of time.

CANCELLATIONS / FINAL SALE POLICY:

All online orders are FINAL. Orders cannot be canceled, modified, or refunded once checkout is completed.

CORRECT MATERIAL & QUANTITY:

It is extremely important that you confirm you are ordering the correct bulk material, color, and quantity before completing your purchase. Once an order has been placed, loaded into the truck or delivered, all sales are FINAL.

If you are unsure about which material to order or how much you may need, please contact our office prior to placing your order. Our team is happy to help answer any questions you may have.

For your convenience, we also offer a material calculator on our website to help estimate the amount needed for your project.

SPLIT LOADS / MULTIPLE MATERIALS:

Our delivery trucks do not have dividers; therefore we do not offer split-load deliveries. Only one material can be delivered per order to prevent any materials from mixing.

If you require multiple materials, separate deliveries must be placed. If you believe your request may be an exception, please contact our office prior to ordering to discuss possible options.

DUMPING LOCATION:

You do not need to be present for delivery. However, to ensure proper placement of your material, please mark the dumping location with an inanimate object such as cones, buckets, crossed shovels, a tarp or “X” marked with chalk.

Please ensure vehicles and any other obstructions are moved ahead of time so our driver can safely access the location.  

Please note that certain site conditions may prevent us from placing the material in the exact requested location.

DRIVER DISCRETION:

For safety reasons, the final decision regarding site access and material placement is at the sole discretion of the delivery driver. If conditions are deemed unsafe or inaccessible upon arrival, the driver may refuse delivery.

DELIVERY TIMING:

Due to the high volume of deliveries scheduled each day, we cannot guarantee a specific delivery time – only the delivery date. You may request an early delivery by noting it in the Dumping/Special Instructions section when placing your order, and we will do our best to accommodate; however, this cannot be guaranteed.

We strongly recommend scheduling your delivery in advance of when you plan to use the material or coordinate with landscapers.

SIDEWALKS/CURBS/NEW DRIVEWAYS:

Our trucks cannot drive over curbs or sidewalks. Newer paved driveways typically take at least 1-2 weeks to fully cure before any heavy dump truck should drive on it so it is extremely important for us to be aware of this prior to delivery.

Shep’s Yard INC. is not responsible for damage to driveways, curbs, sidewalks, vegetation, structures, drainage pipes, or other property during delivery.

DELIVERY ACCESS & SITE CONDITIONS:

Deliveries must be made on flat, solid ground. We generally do not drive off pavement and will not drive on soft ground, steep slopes, or wet areas. If the requested dumping location requires going slightly off pavement, it will be at the driver’s discretion.

Customers are responsible for notifying us ahead of time of any low power lines, tree limbs, septic systems, underground utilities or other obstacles that may interfere with delivery.

SHARED DRIVEWAY / GATE CODES:

If your property is located on a shared driveway, please provide clear instructions for locating your property in the Dumping/Special Instructions section when placing your order. If a gate code is required for access, it must also be included in that same section prior to delivery.

IMPORTANT! BEFORE COMPLETING PURCHASE:

As stated above, all online bulk delivery orders are FINAL. Orders cannot be canceled, modified, or refunded once checkout is completed.
