The Buster family doesn’t only produce and sell stone at Lyons Sandstone; they also serve as educators on the past, present and future of the material, which is a signature building stone for the state of Colorado
When you visit Lyons Sandstone’s website, the very first page welcomes architects and installers to come visit the quarry and get a first-hand understanding of their material. This invitation is typical of a company philosophy to not only produce and sell Colorado Red sandstone, but to also make sure it is used in the most effective way possible.
The company is owned by Bernard and Brenda Buster, and their nephew Josh Buster is also an integral part of the business. Over the years, the family has hosted architects from across the country, as well as installers, fellow stone suppliers and full study tours. It is also active at trade events around the country, and Bernard Buster is the current President of the Building Stone Institute.
