ARS Landscape Expands Aggregate Inventory in Denver
The Arvada-based supplier added crusher fines and red mulch ahead of the winter hardscape construction season.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Landscaping
ARS Landscape Materials and Supply has expanded its aggregate inventory, adding crusher fines and red mulch for contractors and property owners building patios, retaining walls, and drainage systems. The expansion took effect November 11, 2026.
Why it matters
Winter hardscape projects depend on base materials that are buried once a job is finished, such as patio base and drain rock. Local frost depth and compaction rules shape how much material a project needs and how it must be placed.
ARS's catalog lists nineteen gravel and rock products and two sands, and it delivers material by the cubic yard or allows pickup at the yard. Denver's Residential Code sets the local frost line at 36 inches, and CDOT requires base courses deeper than six inches to be built in layers.
The players
ARS Landscape Materials and Supply
A landscape materials supplier headquartered in Arvada, Colorado, that has served the Denver area since 2010 and sells gravel, rock, and sand products by the cubic yard.
The details
ARS, which has served the Denver area since 2010, delivers landscape material directly to residential and commercial properties and also lets customers load material at the yard. Aggregate is ordered by the cubic yard, while base courses are specified by compacted depth across an area.
Timeline
2010: ARS began operating in the Denver area.
November 11, 2026: The expanded aggregate inventory took effect.
Health Landscape
Denver's Residential Code sets the local frost line at 36 inches, so winter hardscape projects must account for that depth in their base construction. The expanded aggregate stock supports the layered base courses that CDOT's 2023 Standard Specifications, Section 304, require for bases deeper than six inches.
Homeowners planning patios, retaining walls, or drainage work this winter can source base and drain materials from ARS by the cubic yard or pick them up at the yard. Projects must meet the 36-inch local frost line and layered compaction rules, which affects how much material to order.
The takeaway
Measure the depth and compaction of a base before ordering material, since frost-line and layer rules determine how much aggregate a winter project actually needs.
