Buying landscaping products sold in bags

Buying landscaping products sold in bags (infographic)
Long description of the infographic

Landscaping products such as sand, gravel, mulch and peat moss are usually sold in bags by volume (e.g. in cubic metres) and sometimes by weight (e.g. in kilograms).

The amount of product in the bag must be shown on the bag in metric units such as cubic centimetres (cm3), cubic metres (m3), kilograms (kg) and litres (L).

Make sure there are no holes or tears in the bag that could cause some product to fall out before buying it.

Have concerns?

If you believe there is less product than the amount shown on the bag, you can file a complaint with the Competition Bureau at competitionbureau.gc.ca.
