For more than a century, Graniterock has helped build the foundations that connect California.

From local streets to major highways, infrastructure plays a role in nearly every journey we take, even if we rarely stop to think about it.

What many people don't realize is that the operation seen here traces its roots back to 1936, when Graniterock built California's first asphaltic concrete plant. Nearly 90 years later, the same site continues producing the materials that help build and maintain the roads, highways and transportation networks our communities rely on every day.

While the equipment has evolved, the purpose remains the same: helping keep California connected.

There was a period when one railcar loaded was a good day.

The 1930s brought some of the toughest years in Graniterock's history. As the Great Depression gripped the nation, work became increasingly hard to find. At the Logan Quarry, crews were sometimes called in by the quarry whistle to load just a single railcar of rock.

For the men and families who depended on the quarry, every job mattered.

Yet even during those difficult years, Graniterock kept building for the future. In 1936, the company constructed California's first asphaltic concrete plant at the quarry, investing in innovation when many businesses were simply trying to survive.

More than 90 years later, their determination remains part of the foundation on which Graniterock was built.

Highway 29 keeps Napa County moving, and Graniterock was able to help improve this vital corridor for Caltrans.

Our crews are rehabilitating a stretch of Highway 29 with cold planing, a new rubberized hot mix asphalt overlay and upgraded safety features designed to improve the ride and extend the life of the roadway.

From just north of the Napa River Bridge to south of Sierra Avenue, this project reflects the quality and craftsmanship our teams bring to every mile of road we build!

Had a great time at Aromas Day this year!

From catching up with neighbors to meeting new faces, it was another fun day celebrating everything that makes this community so special.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Most people think of the San Andreas Fault as something that built California's landscape.

Few realize it also helped build Graniterock.

The original Logan Quarry, now known as the A.R. Wilson Quarry, sits directly along the San Andreas Fault in Aromas. Over time, movement along the fault fractured the granite deposit, making it easier to mine and helping create the opportunity that led to Graniterock's founding in 1900.

When you think about it, the same natural geological forces that shaped California also helped provide the materials used to build railroads, roads, schools, airports and countless more projects across our region.

126 years later, the quarry still remains at the heart of Graniterock's story and serves as a reminder that our history is literally rooted in the ground beneath our feet.

Most people will never know what it takes to rebuild a major roadway in the middle of San Francisco...

They'll just notice that their daily commute feels a whole lot smoother.

That's exactly what lets us know we did our job right. We are proud of the work we did to improve 19th Avenue and keep one of the city's busiest corridors ready for the 66,000+ Bay Area drivers who use it daily!
