When you decide to undertake a landscaping or construction project in Colorado, one of the most important decisions is choosing the supplier to get your materials from. Rock, mulch, compost, sand, road base, these are not items to simply check off a list. They are the backbone of success in your project. Going with the wrong supplier may be the difference between a relatively smooth process and one full of delays, wrong materials, and unexpected charges.
At Pillar Aggregates we have been in business since 1997, we know how overwhelming it can feel to sort through supplier choices. That’s why we want to shed some light on what truly matters when selecting a landscape supplier so that you have all the information to make the best decision for your project – whether that’s a backyard refresh or a larger commercial build.
The climate and circumstances in Colorado have their differences. From a dry summer to snow filled winter materials need to hold up against those conditions. A local supplier knows this better than anyone for example, while certain types of mullet will degrade quicker in the sun than others, other aggregates in our clay-heavy soils drain water better than others.
When you choose to work with a supplier who is local to the Denver area like us, you are not just buying materials. You are stepping into decades of local expertise. We’ve seen the things that work and the things that don’t, and we can help you make the right decision for your project.
It’s easy to get caught up in the materials themselves, but let’s face it, getting them to your site is half the battle. Nothing is worse than ordering tons of river rock or crushed granite and finding out the supplier can’t deliver, or even offer delivery.
A dependable supplier should provide delivery of material to their customers, both to residential and commercial clients, very smoothly. At Pillar Aggregates, we have developed and have a fleet that enables us the opportunities to do delivery on a small drop more than in an entirely large-scale commercial or construction site. We recognize contractors and individuals both want materials delivered, when they want the materials delivered.
Each project is unique. Whether you are designing a modern outdoor living area with clean cobblestone paths, or a recreational site with safe, durable mulch to build a playground, the ideal supplier offers a great variety of materials so you don’t have to deal with multiple vendors.
Expectations
In this case, you can obtain everything you need in one spot, preventing lost time, saving money and maintaining consistency in your project. Pillar Aggregates stands among trusted building construction material suppliers who provide this breadth of choice.
Not all suppliers can support both residential and commercial applications. Some focus on only small residential landscaping projects while others may only focus on construction. The best supplier can do both.
As an example, if you are a contractor on a larger site commercial, we need bulk aggregates, excavation support and continuous delivery schedule. On the other hand, a homeowner may only need a few cubic yards of mulch for their flowerbed. Suppliers who serve both, like Pillar Aggregates, can handle both types of customers, small or large. This flexibility is what sets us apart from other building construction material suppliers in Colorado.
It’s easy to go with the cheapest alternative. We understand that budgets matter. But here’s what we’ve come to understand in reality: Lower prices do not always mean better quality. Some suppliers may cut corners or charge delivery fees. Others may not have the product in stock and need to place an order which delays your work.
When comparing suppliers look for
At Pillar Aggregates, we suggest customers compare us against competitors. We are confident that we will win down to the combination of quality, service and local knowledge.
Let’s discuss something that is often not fully taken into account: the human element of business. Of course materials matter, but so does the relationship you establish between you and your supplier. Do they answer your questions? Do they give honest suggestions, rather than selling you something you do not need? Are they true to their word if they say it will be in on time, or that the materials are good?
As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves in treating every customer as a partner. We have established long-term relationships with contractors, architects, and homeowners because we believe that even trust is as important as the materials we deliver.
So, how do you select the best landscape supplier in Colorado?

Whether you are a homeowner looking to improve your yard, or a contractor working on a large-scale build, we want to support you, so that your project has the proper foundation. We are proud to be among Colorado’s most reliable building construction material suppliers.
