Great products, great delivery and excellent customer service

I've been buying from Forker for the past 18 months. Their composts are very good consistent quality and my garden plants have been thriving with both the multi purpose compost and the tree and shrub compost. Delivery is super quick, prices are good and their customer service is exceptional. I won't buy compost anywhere else now! Would highly recommend Forkers and it's nice they're a family business

Peat free compost contained plastic and other contaminants

Peat free compost contained many pieces of plastic and glass, very disappointing response. Misleading information labelling this waste as organic. -

Replying with blatant lies, we ordered on 10th and called on the 16th as records prove, I had to remove the contaminated product not use it! I asked for it to be removed as it blocks part of our property which you declined, this is a disappointing response now parting blame onto the haulage company. I had to email the photo evidence and have a black and white response to any false claims. - The Man With No Name

Oh yes the man with no name! You ordered a product on the 10th Feb and were on the phone the next morning asking where delivery was. (must have got us confused with amazon). We will stick to the facts here. The product when it left our works was not contaminated. It is stored overnight or possibly 2 nights in a haulage yard where it could easily have been contaminated. That said we as a long standing family business pride ourselves on a good quality product efficient delivery and excellent customer service. Let's see how the response was disappointing.
1. we offered to replace the product
2.You wanted a different product. We offered this but you then changed your mind
3. We offered a full refund.
4. You then wanted product removed by us after using some of it!
5. We offered to have it removed but as we do not do our own logistics the cost would have to be passed onto you unfortunately.
We have bent over backwards for you but there was no pleasing. There was no communication by phone all was done by email.
it is very sad that you could not pick up the phone and had that conversation with us but are happy to sit behind a key board and write a poor review for a company who has had a long standing good reputation. Shame on you !

You are obviously having a bad week! So i think it best to park this conversation right here. wish you well. I will not be entertaining or answering any of your replies and misinformation.

This family run company is fantastic

This family run company is fantastic, customer service is second to none. No long waits on the telephone, advice sent via email very quickly Their knowledge of their own products outstanding, advice freely given. How I wish I had found them 5 years ago when I began gardening.
I cannot wait to begin gardening again this year, if ever the rains stops! Thank You. Susan Porter / Burton

Love this fine decorative bark

Love this fine decorative bark. Use it every year - looks great and saves on the weeding. Bagged in 70 litres so the wife can easily carry them around the garden. Great service, friendly family business - much cheaper than the big stores. Charles Robb, Armagh.

Top Quality Products

I have been using a variety of Forker products in my garden over the last year now and the quality of the products are of top quality and value for money.I would use them quite regularly and receive a lot of bulk deliveries from them and their customer service is second to none.Nothing is too much for them and the products are delivered promptly and the driver is more than helpful placing it where it is needed.I would not hesitate in recommending Forkers for all your garden needs.

Great products with great service

I’ve purchased top soil, peat compost, 50/50 top soil and peat as well as vegetable compost from Forkers.
I’ve found this family run company to be fantastic to work with. They are so helpful and have great product knowledge and have advised me perfectly.
With their advice I have created a wonderful vegetable garden and kept it 100% organic.
