DLM Sand & Gravel

Everyone we’ve spoken to with DLM (3 people so far) has been outstanding! Their online price list is really helpful, placing an order over the phone is easy, and they deliver on time and to the exact spot of your choosing (though I suppose there are limitations because of the size of the trucks, so don’t get carried away thinking these guys are just going to be able back it on up to anywhere your project might be and dump it in). We are just starting to add decorative landscape to our yard and we will absolutely buy everything possible from DLM!

Love them… they were able to get me the soil I needed for my 3 giant planting beds (12’x8’x30″) by calculating the square yard needed (???) and they delivered it in a timely fashion. Can’t wait to see how they can help us next!

UPDATE: Steve reached out regarding my issue below and explained the situation he faced with a bad supplier. He assured me he has fixed the issue and has offered to make things right by me. Adding back a couple of stars for a business owner who cares owns up to a problem and cares to fix it.

It’s been about a month and I’m finding that my «planter’s mix» came with plants! Lots of them. Unfortunately, they are of the grass and weed variety.
Evidently, this mix wasn’t very clean. The dirt was put in 2 raised beds and a planter. The vegetation is unlike anything in the yard and my existing raised bed doesn’t have any of the growth that the dirt from this place had.
Very disappointed that I’ll likely be fighting this battle all year.

Awesome service and great materials.
Good bulk prices and beautiful stone. Check out the gorgeous solid stone fountains
(FYI I’m a landscape architect and deal with a lot of suppliers)

We bought almost four tons of rock. We were so amazed at the price and customer service. Our neighbor told us about them and we will do the same.

Very poor customer service. We drove up to the lot at 3pm. The message on their machine says they close at 4:00pm. I had also spoken to a gentleman earlier in the day indicating we would like to get rock that day. The gate was closed and locked at 3pm and no one answered my phone calls. If a business says they are open until 4pm then they should be. Very disappointed in this business as we had a trailer for the day. We went to pioneer sand company instead. Pioneer sand had great customer service and better prices.

VERY HAPPY with our decision to buy sod here. We called around and did our research and found that, including delivery, these guys were the cheapest place in town for sod (a full dollar cheaper per roll than any nursery or the big box hardware store). We called on a Thursday, hoping to have 1500 sq ft of sod delivered Saturday morning. No problem, they told us they just need 24 hours notice to have it cut out of the ground and shipped directly to us. Bright and early Saturday morning the sod was delivered, and we even got a few extra rolls free of charge, since they rounded up to the next full pallet. Most importantly, the sod was fresh out of the ground and healthy — we did not have even one roll in 1500 sq ft that did not take. Even the edges and corners (everyone who’s laid sod before knows the corners can tend to dry out/​curl up/​not take root) took root and grew in beautifully. I waited 6 weeks to write this review just to make sure the sod survived and grew, and I’m thrilled to report it is BEAUTIFUL. Just by way of comparison, our friends bought sod around the same time from ahem… a big box orange retail hardware store… and installed it the same day we installed ours. Their sod was obviously older and drier, and showed after it was installed — many edges and corners died and the grass overall doesn’t look as good as ours 6 weeks later.

We live about 20 miles away from the business. I had searched all over for the items our landscape designer wanted. I came across Denver Landscaping Materials. I asked the staff and owner Steve if he could supply and deliver within a couple of days. He did and our gardens look fantastic now. I had delivered stones for the borders, sod for our new lawn, a water feature and also slabs for a pathway. My garden is the envoy of our neighbors now thanks to Steve and everyone at Denver Landscaping Materials. Would definitely recommend.

We went there on a Saturday with the intention of buying 3.5 tons of pee gravel to make a dog run. While walking in the yard the owner of Denver Landscaping Materials told us we should get a product called Sqeegee. As new homeowners we went along with what he said — thinking he must know more about this then we do since we explained what we wanted it for. That was our first mistake. Then we also decided to buy 4 boulders as decorative rock for our yard. We «marked» the boulders by placing small stones on them. We went in and paid and expected a delivery a few days later. In the meantime we decided we wanted one more thing so we headed back the next day. We found our boulders had not been pulled aside and were all still out with the ones for sale. I asked that they be set aside and was assured they would be. So a couple days go by and we get a delivery while we r at work. That weekend we go to move the 3.5 tons of pea gravel and boulders to our back yard via wheel barrel. We find out what they sold us was basically a pile of mud with some rocks in it. Since it was a sunday and they were closed we decided to make a filter and clean the mud off before moving rocks to our dog run (so weeds would not grow in our dog run). This took two full days working to clean that many rocks. In addition, we found they only delivered 3 of our 4 boulders. I called and was told that based on the actual weight of the boulders (about 500 lbs each) they had underestimated so we ended up getting what we paid for. I said I would have appreciated a call so I could pay for the additional boulder. Then I told them about how unhappy I was with Steve’s recommendation about the squeegee. I even spoke to Steve who said «this is not how we do business, how can I make it up to you». I replied that a partial refund would be appreciated… he said they can’t do refunds but could do a store credit. I told him after the bad experience we just had I was not sure I want to go back there… A few days latter my husband decided he wanted more flagstone so I called and left a message for Steve. I have since called twice a week for over three weeks trying to reach Steve, I guess he does not want to «make this right.» So overall I have wasted so much time cleaning the rocks, didn’t get what I wanted and wasted time trying to call him. I still have about a half ton of squeegee (aka mud with some rocks in it) in my garage in buckets that still need to be cleaned. I expect this will take about 4 hours. This was my experience there.

I went in over the weekend and found the stone I was looking for to build my flower garden wall. I worker with one of their employees who gave me a written price. I went back in to pay and schedule a delivery and they told me that it was priced wrong and they would not honor her written price. I have several employees who occasionally send out incorrect pricing and I always honor their mistakes. Its called good customer service. My new house has to be completely re-​landscaped and this was the first project. I will be taking my business elsewhere.

They advertised «Free dirt» on Craigslist. I purchased 20 yards of dirt for $ 100. They deliver 10 yards, then after dumping it someone calls me and tries to make me pay another $ 100 for the second delivery! I tell them no way to that, and I leave the conversation thinking I will have to reverse the credit card charges. Then 15 minutes later the second truck comes and delivers the rest of the dirt. I guess that’s an effort to make it right, but I really don’t seek that kind of drama. I won’t use them again.

Where to get landscape rocks in the winter? Denver Landscape Supply that is! I called all over town for black ‘riprap’ lava rocks for a detention pond and was amazed on the amount of places not stocking this time of year. I know it’s the off season, yet it’s Denver. If you can golf here year round you should be able to fix up the front yard as well. The customer service here is outstanding which isn’t always expected at a materials yard, yet is what is driving me to commend them on their help.
