About GRS Roadstone

GRS (Roadstone) is one of the Country's leading aggregates companies. We're able to supply all primary aggregates, recycled products and as raised materials required by the industries we serve. Additionally, we provide services in muck shifting and reclamation and disposal of both hazardous and non- hazardous contaminated material.

At all times we offer a variety of alternatives to primary products including crushed concrete, brick, planning's and blended naturally occurring products.

We welcome your enquiries whether you are concerned with inner city developments or highway rebuilding projects. We have the expertise to advise on reclamation, the re-use of site-born material and the use of recycled and primary aggregate.

Our sister Company GRS Bagging supplies bagged aggregates through builder's merchant's outlets.
