More Than Just Sand and Gravel

Dunning Sand & Gravel is a fourth generation company that is in the of a growth transformation. Instead of relying on the same products – several different types and sizes of gravel and several different kinds of sand – the company has grown to have more than 36 aggregate products, plus hundreds of hardscape products. Because Ben Dunning, the current president and owner, is constantly looking for ways to reuse existing products or material, or to create new products, the number of products the company offers is likely to grow even more.
