The Keleny Story
We are a family owned business through and through. Keleny Top Soil was born in 1934 by proud owners John and Kathryn Keleny. As the Madison area was being developed, they saw a need for conserving the areas top soil and the opportunity to share it with homeowners, gardeners and others who needed healthy, nutrient rich soils.
When John and Kathryn started, they would get up early in the morning when the temperature was cooler and hand shovel the top soil onto the horse drawn wagon and deliver it where it was needed. As the business grew, more than horse and wagons were needed and the first crawler loader in Dane County was purchased by the Kelenys along with dump trucks to deliver the top soil.
Keleny Top Soil still follows the forward thinking that John and Kathryn had.
Keleny Top Soil is proud to say that it is still family owned and operated by Jim Keleny, the grandson of the founders.
As you'd expect with a family business, Jim Keleny and Chuck Keleny are highly involved in the daily operations, even down to answering customer phone calls. When you call Keleny Top Soil, your call will be answered by a member of the Keleny family, just as it has been for 75 years.
