Recycling Opportunities Expand at Stony Point Rock Quarry
with the purchase of
Grab N' Grow Soil Products Inc.
For 25 years Grab N’ Grow has produced healthy soil products, compost, and ground covers from their facility at 2759 Llano Road, Santa Rosa, CA. Each year Grab N’ Grow recycles over 80,000 cubic yards of organic materials, including green waste from local residents and commercial landscapers, grape and apple pomace from local farmers, and waste from local dairies and ranches.
On September 1, 2009, Stony Point Rock Quarry, Inc. acquired Grab N’ Grow Soil Products, Inc. Stony Point currently operates two aggregate and top soil production facilities in Sonoma County. Their Cotati quarry is located on Stony Point Road, 5 minutes north of Sonoma County’s Central Landfill. Their Sonoma quarry is located on Stage Gulch Road, adjacent to the Landfill’s Sonoma Transfer station.
Both Stony Point locations are strategically located adjacent to landfill collection facilities. This allows diversion of a substantial stream of materials from the landfill into recycled road base and other construction products. Typically, raw materials include concrete rubble, asphalt, and ceramics, including toilets and roofing tiles, as well as composition asphalt shingles. Stony Point’s soil production facilities recycle organic materials to produce a variety of products, including mixes for track and field as well as bocce ball courts, and special soil mixtures for residential use and commercial landscape yards and nurseries.
Stony Point Rock Quarry, Inc. has been owned by the Soiland family since 1973. Marv Soiland, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, has been active in the construction and aggregate industries since the 1950’s. Mark Soiland, Chief Operations Officer and President, oversees daily operations at all locations. Marlene Soiland, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary/Treasurer, oversees administrative, legal and permitting functions for the company.
Many Grab N’ Grow employees accepted employment with Stony Point, including Don Liepold, who has managed the operation since inception. Liepold said “The acquisition of Grab N’ Grow Soil Products by the Soiland’s is a very exciting event. Their kind consideration for the welfare of the Grab N’ Grow people demonstrates that concern for employees is a benchmark of their excellent company.”
In addition to the expanded product offerings, acquisition of Grab N’ Grow allows Stony Point to manage production of organic materials currently used in most of its soil products. Stony Point is now ideally positioned with three locations in Sonoma County to serve the soil market and to receive yard and tree waste from the public.
“My goal is to increase the sustainable portion of our product line by increasing recyclables from 20% to 80% of total sales by 2014,” stated President Mark Soiland. “The acquisition of Grab N’ Grow Soil Products makes a significant move in the right direction for our business.”
Soiland believes that efficiency, high quality, operational excellence, and environmental stewardship are important to the success of their family business. These values give Stony Point an opportunity to implement proven processes, better utilize existing equipment, and infuse their culture of care for employees, product quality control, and environmental responsibility into a business with an excellent reputation for quality products.
