AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LARSON FAMILY OF BUSINESSES...
The Quarry Division is
located on Barber Greene Road approximately 4 miles east of where it intersects with Route 23, which is also
approximately halfway between the business districts of Sycamore and
DeKalb. We continue to provide area excavating contractors and
government agencies with IDOT approved dolomite on a regular basis. We
also provide local builders and homeowners with needed dolomite, sand
and gravel products. We employ approximately twenty people at the
Quarry where we pride ourselves on the quality of our materials as well
as our ability to provide quality service to our customers, new and old,
large and small.
The Recycling Division
operates as many as three portable crushing plants that can be
moved onto any site in North America to process
customer products that have included concrete, asphalt, brick and
gravel. This area of the business began in the early 1970's and has
recycled material for such jobs as the Illinois Tollway, O'Hare Airport
and the I-80 Pennsylvania Turnpike. We feel this is a valuable service to our
customers, especially in this day and age when conservation of our
national resources, including reserving space in our landfills for only
necessary waste, is a vital concern to us all. This mission ensures that
this area of our business, which at times employs anywhere from 4 to 10
additional workers, also strives to provide our high standards of Quality
and Service to its customers.
Our Land Development Division
began in the late 1970's when we began development of Maple Terrace Subdivision located off Freed Road in
Sycamore. Since the success of Maple Terrace, we have developed
subdivisions in Waterman with Garden View Place and off Annie Glidden
Road in DeKalb with The Knolls at Prairie Creek as a partner in M & L
Joint Venture. An L & S joint venture in Cortland, Illinois has created
Northfield Farms, a subdivision with single family as well as multi family
homes. We are proud of the fact that our standards for Quality
and Service have enabled us to provide these fine, innovative
subdivisions as enhancements to DeKalb County.
Our Trucking Division, which is the newest addition to
the Larson family of businesses was begun in 1994 to meet our customers growing need for
their material to be delivered to them. Here, again, with three
full-time employees, we strive to continue our commitment to Service.
As well as the employees at each location, we employ another five
administrative personnel at our Accounting Offices located at 21218
Airport Road, as well as the three brothers who each maintain an area
of the business - Mike as the VP of Finance and General Manager of the
Land Development Division, John as the President and General Manager of
Quarry, Recycling, and Trucking Divisions, and Steve as the VP and General Manager of the
Concrete.
If you are interested in learning more about any of the
many services that we provide for DeKalb County, as well as those surrounding it,
please don't hesitate to contact us at any one of our locations. We look
forward to the opportunity to provide you with the Quality and Service
that we know is as vital to your business as it is to ours.
Elmer Larson, Inc. began providing quality dolomite,
sand and gravel in
the late 1930's when Elmer Larson began processing gravel in and around
the DeKalb County area for use in road construction. Elmer Larson, Inc.
is wholly family owned and is operated by Elmer's three grandsons, Mike,
Steve and John Larson. Although the company has grown in size and sales,
the Larson's strive to maintain the personal, service oriented atmosphere
that has been their trademark since Elmer ran the company. Since the early 1970's Elmer Larson, Inc. has branched out into a number
of different, yet related, areas of the construction industry. The
company now consists of five different "divisions."
