01 · ABOUT THIS PROJECT

We excavate, screen, and supply high-quality sand, round stone, and topsoil at our dedicated sand pit operations. Since acquiring the pits in 2012, our crew works on site excavating clean material, screening aggregates, and loading trucks year-round. Because the water table sits just below the pit floor, material emerges naturally washed of silt and sediment. We produce round stone from pea stone and river rock to boulders, alongside pit run, sand fill, tested septic sand, golf course sand, and white beach sand. We also enrich on-site topsoil with compost and manure to provide premium landscape soil.

As soon as the snow and frost is out of our stockpiles of unscreened material. We usually start late April or early May.

When is screening season?

Once we’re into screening season, reach out if you’d like to stop in and check it out. Depending on what product we’re trying to make, we have up to 3 screeners and 4 stackers (conveyors) operating at once. This setup gets us 7 products at once from one bucket of material from the loader.

Truly a behind the scenes look! Not sure I’ve ever been to an operating sand pit!
