What Coast Aggregates does
Coast Aggregates, doing business as AMRIZE, is a Squamish, British Columbia-based aggregate and landscape materials supplier founded in 1992. The company operates a vertically integrated model combining a commercial gravel quarry with a retail Landscape Depot, producing screened, crushed, and washed aggregate products including road base, drain rock, concrete aggregates, sand, decorative rock, garden soils, and bark mulch. Quarrying operations have run continuously since 1992 at the Centennial Way location, with additional pit sites in Pemberton (Owl Creek Pit) and a seasonal Diamond Head Pit on Mamquam Road. The Centennial Way gravel deposit is reported to be at least 11,500 years old, indicating multi-decade reserve life. The company is privately held, family-owned, and headquartered at 2600 Centennial Way, Squamish.
The business serves two primary customer segments. The commercial division supplies aggregates and construction materials to projects throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor from Squamish to Pemberton, with named enterprise customers including Squamish Oceanfront (waterfront development), Mistral and Sirocco Rental Apartments (multi-unit residential), Corridor Trail (infrastructure), and Squamish Ice Arena (municipal recreation). The retail division operates the Landscape Depot at the Squamish headquarters, serving residential homeowners, DIY gardeners, and professional landscapers through self-pickup and delivery. Materials meet Ministry of Highway, Master Municipal, and Canadian Standards Association specifications for concrete aggregates; organic compost carries OMRI certification and is made from locally recycled kitchen scraps and yard trimmings free from bio-solids.
The revenue model is unit-based. Aggregate and soil products are priced per cubic yard (roughly $41-$77 for most aggregates and soils; up to $138 for imported decorative rock) with pail pricing for small quantities (0.5 yard minimum). Delivery is priced hourly at $100/hour for 2-5 yard landscape trucks and $162.50/hour for 10+ yard dump trucks, with a minimum one-hour charge. The company employs 25+ staff and recently added a safety officer. There is no public listing, no disclosed funding history, and no evidence of external investment or institutional ownership. Marketing is conducted through a YouTube educational series ('The Dirt'), blog content, Facebook and Instagram, and community partnerships with the Squamish Gardener's Club and Squamish CAN workshops.

Coast Aggregates competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Lafarge Canada (Holcim): National subsidiary of Holcim producing aggregates, ready-mix concrete, cement, and asphalt across Canada. Comparable because it competes for the same infrastructure and commercial construction aggregate contracts, but with vastly greater scale, capital, and product breadth.
- Lehigh Hanson (Heidelberg Materials): North American heavy building materials producer of aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, and asphalt with operations across Canada including BC. Competes with Coast Aggregates on construction-grade aggregates for major projects but serves a far broader portfolio and geography.
- Vulcan Materials: Largest US producer of construction aggregates (crushed stone, sand, gravel) and asphalt mix. Comparable pure-play aggregates model but with national US footprint, public-company capital base, and far larger reserve life.
- Martin Marietta Materials: One of the largest US-listed aggregates producers, operating quarries producing crushed stone, sand, and gravel for construction. Highly comparable business model (vertically integrated quarry-to-customer aggregates) though primarily US-based with substantially larger scale.
Regional players
- G&L Group (Sand & Gravel Division): BC-based family of companies supplying sand, gravel, and related construction materials across the Lower Mainland and beyond. Comparable regional aggregate supplier with overlapping customer base among landscapers and contractors.
- All West Aggregates Ltd. BC-based aggregate mining and supply company operating quarries across the province. Comparable business model — extracting and selling construction aggregates — though its footprint spans multiple BC regions versus Coast Aggregates' corridor concentration.
- Richmond Sand & Gravel: BC Lower Mainland producer and supplier of sand, gravel, topsoil, and decorative landscape rock. Directly comparable on product mix (construction aggregates plus landscape retail) although serving a different sub-region than Coast Aggregates.
Direct peers
- Rempel Bros. Concrete: BC-based ready-mix concrete and aggregate supplier serving construction customers across the Lower Mainland and Sea to Sky region. Comparable as a regional aggregates-plus-concrete supplier competing for the same contractor relationships.
- Mainland Sand & Gravel Ltd. Lower Mainland BC producer of sand, gravel, and crushed aggregates serving construction and landscaping markets. Directly comparable on product mix (construction aggregates, sands, decorative rock) and on its mix of commercial and retail/homedepot-style distribution.
- Cardinal Concrete: Squamish-based ready-mix concrete producer and Coast Aggregates' formal referral partner for concrete projects. Operates in the same Sea to Sky geography and shares construction-aggregate end customers, making it the most directly comparable peer.
