Gravel Rock Mined for Colorado Conditions

Gravel rock is essential for infrastructure, access roads, foundations, and drainage systems across the region. The gravel we mine is processed to provide stability, proper compaction, and durability in demanding environments.
Contractors value gravel that performs through changing weather and daily use. Property owners appreciate clean, reliable material that holds up over time. By focusing on consistent processing, we help ensure gravel rock supports long-term performance rather than temporary solutions.

Our rock mining operations also support a steady supply of clean, natural, and washed sand used for concrete, masonry, filtration, and general construction. We produce sand that meets specification requirements and performs reliably in both residential and commercial applications.
Proper graduation and consistency are critical due to regulatory standards. Builders across Salida and surrounding areas depend on sand that supports strong bonds and predictable results, whether materials are used locally or shipped to other parts of the state.

Top Soil Supplier for Landscaping and Site Preparation

In addition to aggregates, we import topsoil for landscaping, restoration, and site preparation projects. Colorado’s high mountain valleys often lack topsoil that supports healthy growth while managing drainage and moisture retention.
Our topsoil is used for residential yards, commercial landscaping, and larger restoration efforts. By sourcing and processing locally, we help customers establish growing conditions that align with regional climate demands.

Colored Rock Supplier for Decorative Applications

Decorative stone remains an important material for water-wise landscaping and visual design. As a colored rock supplier, we import stone that enhances outdoor spaces while offering low-maintenance alternatives to traditional turf.
Colored rock is commonly used for pathways, borders, accent areas, and commercial landscapes. Consistent sizing and color allow projects to maintain a clean, professional appearance whether materials are used in Salida or shipped elsewhere in Colorado.

Responsible Mining with Practical Results

Responsible rock mining means producing materials that support growth while respecting the land they come from. Our operations emphasize efficient extraction, careful processing, and responsible site management that meet federal and state regulatory standards.
This approach helps ensure long-term material availability while supporting the communities and industries that rely on mined aggregates every day.

Supporting Contractors, Landscape Yards, and Property Owners

We work with and rely on construction and landscape contractors managing infrastructure projects, landscape yards supplying retail customers, and property owners improving residential spaces. Each group benefits from direct access to mined materials and consistent quality control.
By supplying materials directly from our operations, we maintain reliable standards and respond efficiently to project timelines, whether materials are staying local or moving statewide.
