Hydro-Scape Products

Good service, easy parking/​pick up, and friendly people. More for the landscaper/​contractor types. A few hiccups here and there. But I’ll be back for my big irrigation projects 4 sure.

Poor service. Entire order was one mistake after another. I don’t really know how to describe how disappointed I was with the entire Hydro-​Scape experience.

I went here (mistakenly)to buy fertilizer for my orchard. When I tried explaining that I wanted a sales tax exemption for the several hundred dollars worth of gypsum I wanted to purchase (an agricultural mineral) they wouldn’t give me a straight answer but offered that I should establish an account for approval.
After waiting around for an hour and the order placed, they still wouldn’t allow the lawful sales tax exemption even after I showed them the documentation from the Bureau of Equalization.
reg 1588 states (in part) :” (1) DEFINITION. The term «fertilizer» includes commercial fertilizers, agricultural minerals, and manure. (snip)
(2) APPLICATION OF TAX.
Tax does not apply to sales of fertilizer to be applied to land (including foliar application) the products of which are to be: (a) used as food for human consumption”
(snip)”…
THey kept asking me for a tax ID number– there is no such requirement since I am not a business, nor reselling, but am using for personal use on my own land used for food production…
Their eyes glazed over and they just kept repeating it’s «policy» and that fertilizer is only partially tax exempt.
What part of the following is not understandable?
«Tax does not apply to sales of fertilizer to be applied to land (including foliar application) the products of which are to be: (a) used as food for human consumption»
I walked out, told them to tear up the order and application.
WAlter ANdersen and GRangetto’s are much more knowledgeable about fertilizers and are well versed on reg 1588. They will allow tax exemption to those that exert their right to it.

If your looking for a landscaping part this is the place to go. The customer service is great! Paul takes the extra effort to answer your questions and is very helpful.
