The workhorse stone of Kano building sites. Clean, angular, single sized granite for slabs, footings and general concrete.
A smaller stone that packs around tight steel in columns and beams, and gives precast and pavers a finer face.
Fine chippings for terrazzo, kerb moulding, hollow pots and the top layer of interlocking pavers.
The fine stone left by crushing. Block makers mix it with sharp sand for harder, squarer six-inch and nine-inch blocks.
River sand from our partner pit, washed to take out clay, so your concrete gets the full strength of its cement.
A graded mix from 40 mm down to dust that locks together under a roller. The base under estate roads, yards and driveways.
Hand sized to barrow sized rock for hardcore under foundations on soft ground, gabion baskets and erosion work.
Red earth for raising a plot above flood level and filling low ground before the base course goes down.
Nothing matches that search. Try a job such as slab or blocks, or call sales on +234 800 000 1011.
The question we answer most on the phone. When in doubt, send your engineer's drawings to the sales desk and we will read them for you.

Buying in volume
Contractors and block makers who take more than 200 tonnes a month can open an account with us.
Account customers get a named person on the dispatch desk, standing orders that repeat every week without a phone call, and a monthly statement instead of a transfer before every truck.
We ask for two trade references and a site list. Approval usually takes three working days, and you can keep ordering on transfer in the meantime. POS on delivery is available to account customers in zones one and two.
We stick to what comes out of the ground and the crusher.
We do not sell cement, steel or blocks. We will happily tell you how many bags of cement your job needs, and the calculator does it for you, but you will buy it from a dealer.
We do not deliver less than ten tonnes, because a part-loaded tipper costs nearly as much to run as a full one. If you only need a few wheelbarrows, a site neighbour sharing a load is the cheapest route.
We do not mix concrete. If you need ready-mixed concrete, our sales desk keeps a list of batching plants in the city that buy our stone. Example details for this demo.
