There’s a short window of opportunity for residential property owners in the greater Sudbury area to capitalize on warm weather, especially when it comes to completing outdoor home improvements. Investing money in landscaping projects, lavish gardens, and external improvements that add to the aesthetic of your property is money well spent, but only if you use the right materials.
As a producer, supplier, and contractor of high quality aggregates, Ethier Sand and Gravel recognizes the importance of meeting the specific need of each individual project. There’s still a lot of warm weather to invest in DIY home improvement projects, and the experts at Ethier Sand and Gravel are ready to help you complete any project that requires quality aggregates.
“Springtime is probably our busiest season,” said Michael Andrighetti, General Manager at Ethier Sand and Gravel. “But summer right through until fall we still get a variety of customers calling in for deliveries or picking up material from our retail yard and pit locations.”
According to Andrighetti, Ethier Sand and Gravel produces and carries over 30 different products for retail customers looking to complete a broad spectrum of property improvements and construction projects. That includes stone, sand, gravel, natural stone, crushed rock, and construction materials, plus everything you need to complete landscaping projects.
Their landscaping selection includes natural mulch, colour mulch, a variety of topsoil and organic garden mix, gardening stone, river and decorative rocks, and more. Given the price of native plants, trees, and shrubs and the challenges of growing gardens in Northern Ontario, it’s important to fill your garden with the right products to ensure healthy root systems.
“We don’t want you doing your project twice,” said Andrighetti. “Ensuring you have the proper product for the application, whether it be a top dressing, a garden bed, or a new lawn, we want to make sure you are getting the right product whether you pick it up or have it delivered.”
To make sure that happens, Andrighetti said Ethier Sand and Gravel has a staff of experts who can answer all your questions and help you pick the right materials.
“We have staff here with decades of experience in the sand, gravel, and aggregate field who can offer you advice and help educate you, especially if you have specific questions, issues, or can’t decide what product you need.”
According to Andrighetti, that reputation has been built over the last 85+ years of operation by offering expertise, quality of service, and same day delivery.
However, the company has also made a major splash in the community by supporting a variety of organizations and initiatives in various ways, including the Infant Food Bank, Sudbury Food Bank, NEO Kids Foundation, and a variety of in-kind donations to projects like the Outdoor Community Rink in Garson, Sudbury Shared Harvest, and a variety of location schools in the area.
“We’re definitely community focused,” he said. “We like to say we’re built and raised in Sudbury, and still operate here. It is very important to us. We’re a company based in Sudbury supporting the Sudbury community.”
