Profile Draft

Western Rock Products is the Southern Utah / Iron County operating brand of Staker Parson Companies, itself the Intermountain West arm of global building-materials parent CRH. The business was founded in Cedar City in 1967 by Jack Whiting, originally supplying asphalt, paving, and construction services into Iron County, then expanding into Washington County and adding ready-mixed concrete operations as it grew. The CRH acquisition in 2002, followed by a tight run of regional roll-ups (Kaneco, Hancock, Dixie, JR Ready Mix, 2007–2008), consolidated much of the legacy ready-mix and aggregate capacity in Southern Utah under the Western Rock banner.

For 435-region builders, Western Rock is primarily a materials supplier rather than a finishing contractor: construction fill aggregates, specialty aggregates, landscape rock, ready-mixed concrete, and asphalt. Service area is explicitly stated as Southern Utah, the Northern Arizona Strip, and Northeast Nevada — meaning St. George, Hurricane, Washington, Santa Clara, Ivins, Cedar City, and the canyon corridor toward Kanab all fall inside its delivery radius. Operating yards in St. George (Pioneer Road, Red Rock Road, 4150 South) and Cedar City (Bulldog Road) put plants close to most active subdivision and commercial work.

Ownership is corporate: Western Rock is a brand of Staker Parson, which sits under CRH Americas Materials. Local leadership at the branch level is not surfaced on the public site and would need to be confirmed by the chamber or directly with the office.

Licensing and insurance posture is what would be expected of a CRH operating unit — fully licensed for ready-mix delivery and aggregate supply across multiple states — but a specific Utah DOPL contractor license number is not published on the public Western Rock pages and is left for verification.

For the 435 Alliance directory, Western Rock is the counterweight to Suncore: the other dominant ready-mix and aggregate footprint in the region, with deep Cedar City roots and an active St. George chamber membership.

Unresolved Questions

  • Current local general manager / branch president for Western Rock's St. George and Cedar City operations.
  • Specific Utah DOPL contractor license number(s) operated under the Western Rock / Staker Parson / CRH legal entity.
  • Whether Western Rock self-performs concrete placement and finishing or operates strictly as a supplier in Southern Utah.
  • Status of the JR Ready Mix and Dixie brands inside the consolidated entity — still trade names or fully retired.
