Sandstone Contractors

About Sandstone Contractors

The foothills above Farmington run a warm sandstone color where the scrub breaks through in bare patches, a color that disappears under the bench's first real snow of the season, and Sandstone Contractors spends that same season clearing the building sites where its crews spend summer pouring foundations. A construction site holds snow differently than a finished yard — piles of graded dirt, stacked material, a driveway pad not yet paved — so clearing one is closer to keeping a job site usable than clearing a homeowner's walk. The crew opens those active sites first, so the trades can get in before the day's work starts, then moves on to the finished driveways nearby. Farmington's bench keeps building outward year after year, so there's nearly always a fresh foundation somewhere along a street Sandstone already knows. This morning, the concrete truck due at seven finds a clear path in instead of a buried one.
