What Great Lakes Aggregates, LLC - Recycled Aggregates Taylor Plant supplies

Stone yards carry flagstone, wall stone, boulders, river rock, cobbles and decorative gravel, usually sold by weight and frequently palletized for hardscape crews.

Thickness drives both coverage and price. Patio flagstone is typically 1"–1½"; anything thinner risks cracking underfoot without a mortar bed. Wall stone is sold by the ton with coverage depending on the face height you are building.

Because Great Lakes Aggregates, LLC - Recycled Aggregates Taylor Plant carries several material lines, it is often possible to combine an order across products — soil, mulch and stone on one truck — rather than paying separate delivery charges to two or three different yards.

How much material you need

Stone is sold by the ton. Natural stone runs roughly 150 lbs per cubic foot, so a single pallet can approach 1½ tons.

As a rough guide: 1 ton covers about 80–120 sq ft at 1½ in flag; 3 tons covers about 240–360 sq ft at 1½ in flag; 1 ton covers about 15–20 face ft at wall stone.

Measure your area and decide on depth before calling. Most yards will run the volume calculation for you and will flag when stepping up to a larger load actually lowers the price per unit.

Ordering and delivery

Confirm the delivery radius and fee early in the call. Two yards quoting similar material prices can land very differently once haulage is added.

Check where the truck can actually dump. Tandem trucks need overhead clearance and firm ground, and most drivers will not reverse across a soft lawn or a new driveway. If access is tight, ask whether they run a smaller truck or can leave the load at the kerb.

Pricing for bulk material is rarely published in full, since it moves with stock and season. The business website may list current products, but a phone call will get you a firm delivered number faster.

Ratings and reputation

Of the 3 reviews on file, 2 are five-star (67%) and 0 are four-star. 1 review sits at one or two stars, and those are worth reading directly — complaints at material yards usually concern delivery timing or short loads rather than the product itself.

Across the 25 suppliers we list in Taylor, the average rating is 4.3.

Review volume matters as much as the score. A 3.7 drawn from 3 reviews rests on a small sample, so weigh it accordingly.

Hours and visiting the yard

Great Lakes Aggregates, LLC - Recycled Aggregates Taylor Plant is open 6 days a week, closed on Sunday. The yard opens as early as 7 AM and runs until 4 PM, early enough to load before a normal work day begins.

Saturday opening makes this a practical option for weekend projects — a real advantage, since plenty of bulk yards shut for the weekend and leave homeowners unable to collect material outside working hours.

Loading is weather-dependent whatever the posted hours say. Heavy rain turns yards to mud and makes wet material heavier and harder to spread, so call the same morning if conditions look poor.

Best time to buy in Michigan

In Michigan, the buying window is compressed. Yards get busiest from the first thaw through early June, and again briefly in autumn. Ordering stone in early spring often means waiting in a queue and paying peak rates, so booking delivery before the rush — or in late autumn for spring work — usually gets both a better price and a firmer delivery date. Many yards in colder states reduce hours or close outright through deep winter, so confirm seasonal availability before planning a January or February project.
