RECLAMATION SUCCESS

National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association Environmental Eagle Award

Operated by Staker & Parson Companies, Brigham City Facility in Utah was awarded the National Stone Sand and Gravel Association’s 2004 Silver Environmental Eagle Award. The Environmental Eagle Award was created in 1992 to provide national recognition for aggregate-producing companies actively contributing to the maintenance of the environment in and around their operations, as evidenced by a corporate commitment to the full use of environmental controls and systems.

For over 50 years, Staker & Parson Companies has helped build Utah with the best rock products, concrete, asphalt, paving, and construction services available. “We hold a corporate commitment to act as a good neighbor to the communities and environment we work in,” said John Parson, CEO of Staker and Parson Companies. “We have taken tremendous measures in our operations to deliver on that promise and are honored that the NSSGA has recognized our team’s efforts.” 

The company has been recognized by numerous organizations for its commitment to safety, quality, and innovation. Staker and Parson Companies employ over 2,000 employees throughout the Intermountain Region. 

Additionally, with the state of Utah being a desert community, Staker and Parson Companies wanted to offer a unique way to battle drought with innovative landscaping options. The company’s new landscape center offers contractors, developers, landscapers, and the public the option to browse and purchase products for their landscaping needs. Staker and Parson works to be the preferred source of quality aggregates, construction materials, and services for a wide variety of contractors, businesses, government agencies, municipalities, and homeowners.  “The Landscape Center is a way for the company to give back to the communities and offer them the great products that come from our state’s own natural resources,” said a company spokesman. 

The Landscape Center offers materials in bulk that can be used in xeriscaping, a water-efficient landscaping strategy that allows creating and maintaining a varied, colorful garden while conserving water. More than 50 products are available for purchase at the Landscape Center, including rock, sand, bark, soil pads, chats, playground sand, mulch, cobbles, multi-colored cobble rock, and gray rocks. 

The Landscape Center offers a unique set-up, with large bins separating the product for easy loadout into vehicles. The surrounding area is xeriscaped with the products available at the center.
