Materials History

Big Horn Quarry

The company began production of decorative landscape boulders from its Big Horn quarry under the name of Custom Boulders in July of 1995. A crushing and screening plant was purchased the following year to also produce decorative gravels. In July 1998, the company changed its name to Custom Landscape Materials, L.L.C. to more accurately reflect the nature of its business.

Belmont Quarry

In April 2003 the Belmont quarry located near the intersection of Vulture Mine Rd and the Aguila Rd, began production of “Belmont Gold” decorative rock along with State and MAG (Maricopa Association of Governments) Spec aggregates. Belmont also became the location of our first large scale Rip Rap production plant.

Early Spring 2023 CLM grew again. KB1 our newest decorative rock quarry, is located at the end Christian Church Camp Road, off Carefree Highway (Hwy 74). This location is strategically positioned at the North side of the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Pleasant Gold and Desert Jade is a competent aggregate that competes favorably with similar color pallet, in the area. Presently 1/4" minus, 1/2" screened and 1" screened are the only products available.

Master Plan Community Blending

Custom Landscape Materials, LLC (CLM) the name begins with “Custom”. This word encapsulates our philosophy, we will customize our colors to provide a developer with a unique blend of color and / or sizing to establish a Master Plan “look”. CLM has the reserves to ensure the developer that when they start with a “look” in Phase One it will be the same “look” in ten or twenty years on the last phase.

Sundance Blend
Tartesso Blend
Verrado Blend
Wickenburg Cobble

These “Custom” blends of color and sizing have already helped developers set their sub-division apart from the norm.
