A & A Materials Inc

"Consumer Beware!!! Same as many other bad reviews. I won't be using this company again. I order 4.5 tons of Saddleback rip rap 3" to 8". 60% of what I received was less than 3" inches and about 30% was straight dirt. I am exhausted with continuously sending back materials and requesting refunds because quality control has gone out the window. Realistically this isn't even a quality control issue. It's a cutting your product issue, and it's a bad look. This should be screened and separated at the plant. Instead it was mixed intentionally. I wasn't in a position to request an amendment here because of the timeline I was on. Unfortunately the next big rain will probably wash all the dirt from the center of the gabion I used this to fill and I will be responsible for cleaning up that mess. Thanks A and A. Way to value your business and customers!"

"I’ve used A and A for all of my landscaping projects. I recently purchased 5 tons of 1 inch minis and it arrived with about 30-40% dirt. I have called a couple of times to see what can be done and am told a manager would reach out and no one ever does. I simply want to discuss getting this fixed I can’t fill yard with dirt and that’s not what I paid for."

"Friendly staff inside that helped us order some boulders for our yard. We picked several that looks really nice and the price wasn’t bad at all. They have a bunch to choose from on their lot. They did offer delivery which is a lifesaver consider how heavy they are. Our rocks were delivered the same week. Delivery guy showed up on time and was friendly. He used the crane on his truck to place them exactly where we wanted them. All in all, it was a easy experience and would come back here again."

"I understand it’s not easy to run business so I only write reviews when I see place very good to very bad! I got two batches of rocks from here and came out with two different quality. The first batch was fine after filling the yard. The problem was the second batch. It had way more than 30% of sand mixture; it had at least 50% of sand mixed in. Almost every shovel mixed with more than half of the sand, except rocks on the surface. After filling the yard, there patches and patches of sand that wouldn’t sink down because the sand mixtures was way too high . I called and emailed pictures, they said their manager will talk to us but never receive any replies then I called again. The solution they gave was telling me “ your landscapers should have mixed it in”. it is 8 tons of rocks and sand! Even that, they want us to finish the project and if it still too much sand they will send more to cover. 1. The sand is not going to go away by itself. 2. I already spend the time and money, and now you are telling me to spend more time and money because of a problem that is caused by your quality control? I just want to ask the manager or owner, if you were me will you be happy?! See pics, it’s way worse if you see it in person. They charge lower price but I will never go there, I prefer to spend more and get quality material."

"2021 April 10: Front staff were helpful & nimble in helping us first-timers. We ordered (in person) on Thurs afternoon, delivered for $50 on Sat morn. At $48.25 /ton of 1" screened Apache Brown, we naively expected clean, ready to spread landscaping rock. However, there is a lot of dirt and gravel to separate, so we are surprised. Again, it's our first experience so we're not certain what to expect for the price. April 20 (following cleaning & disposing massive amount of dirt, then spreading the clean rock): I called management to express my concern about the amount of dirt in the 5.5 ton of rock. It was revealed that "up to 30% of the load will contain smaller non-Apache Brown residue". That's as much as 1.5 ton of dirt. The claim is that landscapers pour this & have no issues with weeds. My speculation is that heavy weed-killer treatment follows shortly after rains. I'm the experimenting type and will return as the seasons progress to update the success of using our nice & clean approach (in 20 yrs on our property, we never used weed-killer and always pulled roots each rainy season). That was tedious!"
