Jaqua & Sons

I always get great service here. The yard workers are always quick to get you on your way. The office workers are very professional also. They always treat me with respect.

We were doing a very small xeriscape project. They had a pretty good selection and were really helpful to get our delivery in a timely manner even though we had a tiny order. The delivery driver was polite and professional as well. Totally pleasant transaction!

They guys have a Wide Variety of Building Supplies. From Rocks, bricks, tools. The staff at the front desk is great. The Friendly Service guys help you gather all the materials that you may need. Their delivery schedules are prompt. I mean on the money. My Delivery time was @ 9am on a Saturday Morning, and they got their at 8:30

Wide variety of supplies and helpful workers… They are eager to help not only contractors who have businesses and do large jobs, but also home owners just out to redo their backyards.

I am basing my rating because of my experience with this company. Everyone is friendly and will educate you on their products and give you instillation tips. I am a Yourself kinda guy and I went in a few months ago to get quotes on paving stones for my patio. Unfortunately that project was put on hold, but I began my flooring project for my home. They educated me on the concrete overlay process as well as staining the floors and sealing them. Each time I came running back for more products they magically had it in stock. I will continue to only deal with Jaqua & Sons whenever it comes to my home renovation projects because of their friendly and helpful staff. It’s nice to have business like these in the AV.

I really wanted to like this place. From what I saw of it, their yard is well organized and they carry a variety of stone-​related material.
I visited on a Saturday afternoon. It had to be 100 degrees out. I got out of my car, put my hat on and started heading over to where they had the gravel bins. One of the workers, a young guy, greeted me and asked me if he could help. I told him I wanted to look at gravel. He said they have samples inside the store. Great! I said. (It was 100 degrees.)
So I went inside with him and he handed me off to the guy sitting behind the counter. He looked like he might be some kind of manager.
They had the gravel samples in a glass case in little plastic baskets. There might have been 15 different rock/​mulch samples. I stared through the case glass for a minute. Then the guy ‘helping me’ seemed to get a little annoyed with me. I said that my soil was roughtly the color of the decomposed granite they had under the glass. I’d like to look at gravel that came close to use as mulch. No response — it was like I wasn’t there for a minute. So I asked if I could look at two of them from under the counter.
He pulled them out. They had some regular gravel under the counter that looked a little more rose/​tan colored than normal. I asked if all the gravel they had had the same coloration. He really gruffly said that it was mostly granite (white/​black/​gray). The attitude he had was like I was completely wasting his time. There were a couple other customers hanging around, but other people were helping them.
I asked about delivery charges. With a little huff and some more attitude, he went back to his desk and looked it up.
By this time, I was annoyed. If you don’t want to sell to DIYers, you need to be closed on Saturdays. If you don’t want to deal with women, you need to drive the skiploader or do something where you don’t deal with the public.
I took a price list, told him I’d have to check with my husband, thanked him for his time and went back to my car without looking at any of their other stock. I know the paltry $ 1000 I might spend there is nothing to them, but…
Besides the attitude, they didn’t have any gravel varieties that I hadn’t seen at the other landscaping material places in Lancaster, Rosamond and Tehachapi.
