Finding sod and top soil

Hello, can anyone recommend a place to buy sod and topsoil. I need about 340 square feet of both.
Thanks

I think Lowes in Brooklyn has single pane glass enclosures for baths. I intend to install one myself someday soon.

We just laid sod in our backyard. We got the sod from Dragonetti Landscaping. They delivered it along with 100 bags of topsoil. We knew that the soil in our yard would not sustain the sod so we got the topsoil to put down first which also helped us to grade the area better for drainage. Three weeks later and it is still beautiful. Just make sure to water it every day for the first month and cut it after two weeks, but not too short or too long.

Decks R US out of Staten Island build a wood deck and paver patio (with a path between the two) a few weeks ago. It took them two days to complete the job and were very reasonably priced.

for a recent renovation I looked at ABC Glass and Home depot, both wanted about $1500 for a glass door (79x26).

I found CCY Group in Flushing, priced out the same glass for $680, delivery another 30 bones. Cash only. Ask for Ivy, 718-353-2829. 31-33 Higgins St. Flushing. You have to go there to order the glass and its hard to find.

Buyer beware of Decks R us. They did pavers for me around a pool and the job came out completely terrible. Most important part of doing pavers is the flow of water into the drains. Not only does the water not flow into the drains but it collects everywhere in the backyard and the pitch actually takes the water into the pool!!! All Mexican workers who don't speak English and bosses are never around. When bosses show up they completely defer to the Mexican workers as to how job should be done. their price was a little high to boot. Would definetly reconsider before using this company.
