Alleco Stone produces a wide range of aggregate products from its pit in
Buckeye, Arizona. The spectrum of materials that we cover varies diversely from
construction grade materials such as ABC, washed concrete sand, and rock to specialized
sports turf products such as golf course greens mixes, playing field rootzone sands, and
drainage gravel.
Construction grade materials which include ABC, high volume and low volume chips, M.A.,
bedding sand, septic rock, washed concrete sand, washed concrete rock, rip rap (in various
sizes), mortar sand, plaster sand, engine sand, and fill materials meet specifications for
Maricopa County Department of Transportation, as well as Arizona Department of
Transportation. These high quality products have been used in County and State Highway
projects and on a daily basis Allecos sand is used by plaster and mason contractors
in nearly every major housing development in the Phoenix area.
Landscape
products are available in various sizes. These are natural, uncrushed river run stones,
commonly referred to as river rock or salt river rock. These cobbles are smooth and
rounded from years of water degradation. Their variety of beautiful natural colors makes
them ideal for any landscape application.
The raw
materials used to produce Alleco Stones fine sand products are drawn from the
western region of the Great Salt and Gila River basins. This western region exists in its
natural state providing superior raw material for manufacturing our products. Alleco
Stones excavation, washing, screening, and dewatering process effectively creates
the cleanest and most contaminate free sand in Arizona.
During
the screening process Alleco Stone produces specialized sands to target specific uses,
which include concrete sand, masonry sand, plaster sand, engine sand as well as top
dressing and rootzone sand for the sports industry. All the sand which Alleco Stone
produces meets or exceeds both government and trade organizations specifications.
Alleco
Stone has worked closely with stucco manufacturers and plastering contractors in the
Phoenix plastering industry to produce a plaster sand that exceeds normal specification
and produces a superior ingredient which improves stucco and plastering finished products.
Alleco Stone has also worked closely with sport complexes and golf course architects in
conjunction with test laboratories to develop a superior sand for use in the construction
and top dressing of golf courses and sport complex playing
fields.
