First Time I used Colorado Materials, I went to there lot to order a load of rocks delivered to a house Im building. I told them to let me know if there would be any issues the day before as there is no cell reception. The day of myself and a few friends are waiting but they are not there. I drive to a place with cell reception and they have called saying they cant read there own hand-writing and dont know what to deliver, I had to correct them. They offered no discount for this issue or for being 6 hours late, I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt so I ordered another load delivered. I told them what happened the first time and told them to please call me a day in advance if there was an issue. The day of they do not show up. I drive to a place I have cell phone reception. I had one phone message saying they were on there way. That message was from hours ago. I called them and they said when they went to go load up they found they had no gravel (apparently inventory is not important to them) They had rescheduled me for wed without talking to me or calling me (they said they did but I had not messages from them) They said they would bring up another kind of rock and acted like they were doing me a favor for not charging me more for another kind of rock. Overall they were horrible to work with and provided some of the worst customer service I have seen in a long, long time, if ever.

Ive used Colorado Materials for years, for everything from road base, to top soil, to crushed granite. The last three orders have been terrible in regards of customer service. Snippy sales people, rude delivery drivers, missed deliveries... you name it. Today I tried to order compost, with my credit card in hand, but was dissuaded by the rude, clueless voice on the other side of the line, who kept randomly putting me on hold mid-conversation, and wanted to charge $65 for a 10-minute pickup truck delivery of compost. Looking at past receipts, this was only $30 last year. No thanks!

Not the friendliest place for personal business. If youre someone new to landscaping, theyre not nice enough to give you needed tips on whats the better materials for what usage or even spend time with you to understand what your goals are. Its very GET IN - GET WHAT WE HAVE- GET OUT kinda business. I would rather go to a place that helps me out and guide me to some distance on whats available out there. Landscaping is a huge project, I wouldnt know whats up and whats down without an opinion. Most worst, is that their prices are just the same at places that would help me.

I love this place! I had ordered some recycled rubber tiles that did not work at all! We had already installed the foundation for the tiles and were hoping to find some thin flagstone so we did not have to redo all of the foundation work. Colorado materials walked around their supply yard with me, helped me choose pieces that would work and the arranged delivery. They were kind, patient, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. We loved the finished product!

Their service and delivery was fine, but the soil I got for my raised beds (their planters mix) is having a lot of trouble with compaction. There is zero foot traffic on my beds, so I believe their planters mix, although marketed as the soil for raised beds, is not the ideal mix. Not sure if their mix was off or what, but it is acting like topsoil that does not have enough organics in it.

I had them repair a brick sidewalk. The repair job was incomplete. It was very expensive. When ants started coming through it, I paid, again, hundreds of dollars even though that was one of the things they were to take care of. They tried yet another product and hundreds of dollars more, still have the same problem. Dave would not return my calls.

Very best selection, inexpensive (especially for the great quality) and friendly customer service!! Hubby and I love how close they are, and go frequently for fill dirt, really nice garden soil, mulch, and gravel! Wayyyyy better prices than any of the box stores, and far more knowledgeable staff! We both highly recommend!

Great delivery drivers! I recently had two large orders of rock delivered and both times the drivers were prompt and very courteous. Sometimes its the people out in the field that make or break a business, and the delivery drivers here are what seals the deal for me. Great job guys.

These folks have saved me a ton of money. If they werent around, I would have to buy from Home Depot at at least twice the cost. They have always treated me well. If you are not sure about something, stop by the office and ask, they will explain the different products to you.

We bought some black lava rock along with song Gold compost soil and had it delivered. They were both great products at a good price, they offered a military discount (thank you!), and the delivery was on-time and as expected. Will definitely buy from them again.

Great selection, prices and most of all integrity. Had a small mix up on a delivery, they went above and beyond to make things right. I greatly appreciate that. You are my first and only choice for my landscaping needs. THANK YOU!

Unfriendly, poor customer service. Will never buy from them again, they have no problem inconveniencing the customer and acting like it is not a big deal or their fault even when it clearly is

Huge selection, very competitive prices, and exceptional customer service will keep us coming back! So glad I decided to shop around and found these guys. Thanks and see you again soon...

The owner of this company refuse to honor a coupon I presented to them that was current.
