Gravel & Aggregates
Landtec Rock Quarry | Quadra Island
We provide island communities with high quality, industry-standard, aggregate and gravel products. Our products are produced locally, in our rock quarry on Quadra Island.
Our Products
Landtec gravel and aggregates are created from crushed blue basalt stone, giving our products their signature blue finish. Our aggregates are highly sought after because they’re as functional as they are beautiful. We have products available to suit most common project needs, and we provide custom crushing for customers with unique requirements. We have been supplying aggregates and gravel to the Discovery Islands for many years and we supply the BC Ministry of Transportation with road building materials in our local area.
Deciding on the right product for your job is crucial for a successful long-term result. Below, you will find our product guide to help you understand the features of our gravel and aggregate products, and help inform the decisions for your project. We suggest a couple common applications for each type, and give size references to help you determine which products will be best suited for you.
We’re happy to answer your questions and / or work with your contractor to find the right product. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have questions or need advice.
