Do I have to be home to receive my bag?

No, you do not need to be home to receive your Greely’s Gardening Bag. You just need to simply mark an “X” on your driveway with chalk or masking/painter’s tape where you want your Greely’s Gardening Bag(s) to be placed.

Keep in mind when marking your “X” on your driveway for a Gardening Bag delivery we need a space 4ft X 4ft. Also, our forklift requires 9 feet of clearance to access the location.  Be sure to look up and make sure there are no overhead wires or low lying trees where you marked your “X” on your driveway.

Can you bring the bag into my backyard or over a fence?

Unfortunately, we are not able to bring the bag into your backyard or over a fence since we use a forklift that requires 9 feet of clearance and which requires a stable surface to drive on.  Typically bags are placed conveniently on your driveway or front lawn.

How will the bag be delivered?

We deliver our bags with a flat deck and forklift.  The forklift requires 9 feet width of clearance and a stable surface to drive on.
