MEMPHIS, TN — Memphis Stone & Gravel, a Granite subsidiary, announces that it has opened the new River Yard aggregate sales facility in Memphis, Tennessee. Located on the Mississippi River, the River Yard receives limestone products barged from Warren Paving's Slats Lucas Quarry in Salem, Kentucky, connecting operations within Granite's integrated materials network to create long-term value across the Southeast. The initial inventory of limestone products includes 610s, No. 8, 810, No. 57, and No. 4 stone.

“We’re putting the stone back in Memphis Stone & Gravel,” said Alan Parks, Vice President of Memphis Stone & Gravel. “For decades, our business has primarily focused on sand and gravel products. This new integration with the materials from Warren Paving allows us to re-enter the stone market, expanding our product portfolio, and creating new opportunities to serve customers throughout the region.”

The new facility reinforces Granite’s home market strategy in the Southeast by widening the company’s materials portfolio in one of the fastest-growing regions of the country.

“By combining Warren Paving’s Slats Lucas Quarry resources with Memphis Stone & Gravel’s market presence, we’ve created an opportunity to support and strengthen our Memphis home market while delivering greater value to customers,” said Clint Cleland, Granite Vice President of Materials Market Strategy.
