Rocky Mountain prides itself in their ability to work as a team with private contractors and government agencies in achieving mutual success through versatility and outstanding performance.

Rocky Mountain was begun as an aggregate materials supply business in 1977 by Stephen Schnurr with a handful of talented associates. Rocky Mountain continues to be a major supplier of decorative landscape rock and other landscape materials. Rocky Mountain’s on-time delivery of landscape materials is second to none.

In 1979, it expanded its services to include asphalt paving. The company purchased its first asphalt plant in 1985, and by 1990, Rocky Mountain was producing its own aggregate materials for use in the production of asphalt and for retail sales. Its quarries supply many of the decorative rock products sold by retailers all up and down the Front Range of Colorado.

It currently owns three gravel operations and two asphalt plants, one with a state-of-the-art design that tripled the number of trucks that can be loaded, thus enhancing the efficiency of local building contractors.

Rocky Mountain’s independent laboratory conducts quality assurance testing in pursuit of high quality asphalt that exceeds state standards. Rocky Mountain employs approximately three hundred employees today as Colorado Springs only private locally owned asphalt producer.

In August of 2000, Rocky Mountain Premix started producing concrete out of a state-of-the-art concrete plant, which is located on the city’s fast-growing east side. This year an additional concrete plant went in on the south side of town. These plants are located on both sides of the city to provide contractors with fresh “premixed” concrete. The plants are both wet batch plants, meaning they mix the materials together in the plant providing a consistent mixture of material. This method is better than the less expensive option of introducing raw concrete products into a mixer truck and letting the truck mix the concrete.

Pre-mixed concrete is a better quality, more consistent, more durable product that is rapidly catching on in favor with local contractors and homeowners alike. We are proud to call our newest company — Rocky Mountain Pre-Mix.

Key traffic corridors — parts of Interstate 25, Highway 24 and Highway 94 — were also developed by RMMA which is currently creating runways at Peterson Air Force Base and the Air Force Academy.

In 1994, Rocky Mountain won the Region VIII “Small Business Prime Contractor of the Year” award from the Small Business Administration for its outstanding contributions as a prime contractor to the federal government.

Rocky Mountain is strategically involved with the military — from rebuilding tank crossings and loading stations for the Kosova Crisis to providing security barriers for the Air Force Academy. Working with a high level security clearance, Rocky Mountain also paved the tunnel that controls access to the strategic NORAD facility located within Cheyenne Mountain.

Rocky Mountain was one of the first Colorado companies to qualify as a “Certified Safe Work Place” by the Colorado Department of Labor, and the company continues to monitor worker safety with weekly “toolbox” meetings.

Rocky Mountain supports Colorado Springs quality of life in several ways. It contributes to social services, such as Junior Achievement and Silver Key Senior services, that help the city’s youth and the elderly.

The natural beauty of the area is another primary value of the community. Rocky Mountain protects this interest by utilizing recycled materials in their asphalt mix and in other construction products. The Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division has recognized RMMA for its commitment to environmental protection and for its pioneering of the practice of concurrent reclamation of mined areas.

Rocky Mountain’s level of commitment to the community is achievable because of its local ownership. Our employees live here, work here, play here, and grow here. We will be here when others are gone.

God Bless America!
