Salado Quarry was founded in 1999 by Tommy Edwards, a successful veteran in the oil industry who began brokering stone. “Tom Wood, the owner/operator of C&T Stone, was a mentor to me in this business,” Edwards said. “When I was brokering stone, I was buying from him, and then I started Salado Quarry at a ranch near his place.”
By merging with C&T Stone, Edwards explained that the new venture has the benefit of combined resources, and it has doubled overall production. The quarries generally operate year round, except in the case of severe weather - a rarity in Central Texas.
