Harrod Concrete & Stone

What Harrod Concrete & Stone does

Harrod Concrete and Stone Company is a family-owned, vertically integrated construction materials supplier headquartered in Frankfort, Kentucky, serving central Kentucky. The company operates four ready-mix concrete plants (two in Frankfort, two in Lexington), an underground limestone mine spanning over 500 acres that has been in continuous operation for more than 50 years, and a fleet of 45+ front-discharge mixer trucks and 30+ tri-axle dump trucks for direct delivery to job sites.

Its product portfolio covers ready-mix concrete in multiple mix designs (standard PSI, decorative/exposed aggregate, grout, self-consolidating, flowable fill, pervious, lightweight, pump, and shotcrete), a broad admixture lineup sourced primarily from Russtech, supplementary concrete products (cure and seals, expansion joints, rebar, fiber reinforcement, concrete blocks), and a range of crushed limestone products and river gravel in various sizes. Services include custom mix design, stone slinger placement for difficult access sites, and online concrete and stone calculators.

The business model is transaction-based: customers contact dispatch for quotes, materials are priced per cubic yard (concrete) or per ton/cubic yard (stone), and the company delivers via its own fleet. Customers span residential contractors and homeowners, commercial and industrial developers, government and infrastructure projects (roadwork, airports, public facilities), and agricultural operations across central Kentucky. Leadership is family-controlled, with David Harrod as President, Eileen Harrod Logsdon as Vice President, and Bert Vanhouten as Vice President of Operations; there is no evidence of outside private equity or institutional ownership.

Products and services

• Standard PSI Mixes Ready-mix concrete designed to fit varying strength requirements, typically from 2000 psi upwards. Used for residential work, commercial buildings, road work, driveways, slabs, footers, sidewalks, and parking lots.
• Decorative and Exposed Aggregate Mixes Ready-mix concrete for aesthetic applications. Can have dye added for color, river gravel added for exposed aggregate, be stained in patterns, or stamped to achieve the look of other building materials like brick or slate.
• Grout Mixes Non-aggregate containing concrete commonly used for filling block foundations or as pipe bedding.
• Self Consolidating Mixes Concrete that does not require vibration as a finishing technique. Good for use in aesthetic applications with smooth surfaces and pre-cast structures such as tilt-up walls.
• Flowable Fill Low slump concrete useful in applications where concrete removal will be necessary in the future, such as pipe bedding and backfill.
• Pervious Concrete Porous mix for areas requiring drainage, commonly used in parking lots. Can replace the need for retention ponds and is considered a green concrete solution.
• Lightweight Mixes Concrete using lightweight aggregate with a lower unit weight per yard. Used in elevated floor slabs or whenever there is a need for concrete that weighs less than regular concrete.
• Pump Mixes Mixes specially designed for better pumpability, whether pouring in an existing basement or into wall forms. Have a different ratio of fine and coarse aggregates than standard mixes without compromising psi.
• Shotcrete Concrete designed specifically for lining pipes or walls. Typically used in mining applications to reinforce ceilings and columns.
• Concrete Admixtures Chemical admixtures including RSA-10 (air entraining), LC500 (retarder and water reducer), Finishease (mid-range water reducer), Superflo 2000-RM (high range water reducer), LCNC-166 (non-chloride accelerator), Fastset 100HE (low chloride accelerator), Calcium Chloride, RENU (hydration stabilizer), SRA-157 EXT (shrinkage reducer), RCI (corrosion inhibitor), and sealers/surface products. Used to customize concrete performance for specific project requirements.
• Cure and Seals, Evaporation Retarders, Surface Retarders Roll or spray on surface products for use during or after placement of concrete. Used for extending the life and protecting the surface of concrete.
• Expansion Joints Fiber or foam based strips used for controlling cracks in concrete by isolating one piece of concrete from another to allow movement during freeze/thaw cycles.
• Reinforcing Steel Rebar Available in No. 4 bar up to twenty foot pieces. Typically used as primary reinforcement in slabs.
• Fiber-Reinforcement (Ultrafiber 500) Cellulose nano fiber that improves durability and provides superior finishability to standard fiber reinforced concrete.
• Concrete Blocks Precast one yard or half yard knob style blocks. Used for stacking into barriers.
• Crushed Limestone Stone Products (57s, 67s, 9s, 2s, CSB) Various sizes of crushed limestone including 57s (1 inch top size, no fines, used as base under concrete and garage floors), 67s (3/4 inch top size, used in concrete production), 9s (1/2 inch top size, used in crawl spaces and dog pens), 2s (2 1/2 inch top size, used for road base), and Crushed Stone Base CSB (1 1/2 inch top size with 25% fines, excellent for farm roads).
• Class I Sand Limestone dust commonly used in barn stalls, riding arenas. Packs down well.
• Dense Grade Aggregate (DGA) 1 inch top size limestone with 50% dust. Commonly used for driveways. Packs down well.
• Channel Liner #2 6 inch limestone commonly used for drainage pond dams and ditch lines.
• River Gravel Products Smooth river stone products including #67 River Gravel (3/4 inch) and 3/8 Smooth River Gravel, used in exposed aggregate concrete as well as decorative landscaping.
• Stone Slinger Service Stone slinger service for spreading stone across central Kentucky job sites, including difficult-to-access locations where standard dump truck placement is impractical.
• Dump Truck Delivery Service Fleet of over 30 tri-axle dump trucks capable of hauling 21-23 tons per load for delivering stone and aggregate materials to job sites across central Kentucky.

Others

• Cemex: Global building materials company producing cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates; cited as a cement supplier reference on Harrod's site. Comparable as an upstream cement input supplier and global scale operator in the same materials value chain.
• Lehigh Hanson / Heidelberg Materials: Major North American cement, ready-mix, and aggregates supplier; listed as a cement supplier reference on Harrod's website. Comparable as an upstream cement/admixture input supplier rather than a direct competitor in central Kentucky ready-mix.

Broad incumbents

• Martin Marietta Materials: Major US supplier of aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) and ready-mixed concrete. Comparable as aggregates-heavy incumbent but national in scope versus Harrod's regional Kentucky concentration.
• Vulcan Materials Company: Largest US producer of construction aggregates with substantial ready-mix concrete operations, including US Concrete acquired assets. Overlaps in aggregates and ready-mix product categories but operates as a broad incumbent across the entire US rather than a regional specialist.
• Irving Materials (IMI): Large US producer of ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and asphalt with significant Midwest/South presence including Kentucky operations. Comparable in core ready-mix offering but at much larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Aggregate Industries (Holcim): US subsidiary of Holcim producing ready-mix concrete, aggregates, and asphalt across multiple states. Comparable in ready-mix and aggregates categories as a broader national incumbent rather than a regional specialist.

Direct peers

• Mulzer Crushed Stone: Family-owned crushed stone, aggregate, and ready-mix concrete producer headquartered in Tell City, Indiana with operations extending into Kentucky. Closely comparable vertically integrated regional aggregate and ready-mix business serving overlapping Ohio Valley markets.
• Rogers Group: Family-owned aggregates and ready-mix concrete producer with crushed stone quarries and concrete plants across Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and surrounding states. Directly comparable as a regional, family-operated mine-to-mixer vertical operator in overlapping Kentucky geography.

Regional players

• Central Stone Company: Family-operated aggregate producer in Missouri and Illinois with ready-mix concrete operations. Compares as a vertically integrated regional aggregates/ready-mix operator, though serving Midwest geographies adjacent to rather than overlapping Harrod's Kentucky territory.
• Shelby Materials: Kentucky-based ready-mix concrete and aggregates supplier with plants across central and northern Kentucky. Directly comparable in scale and product mix but focuses on different sub-regions of Kentucky rather than Frankfort/Lexington.
