About us
More than 20 years ago Todd Plaisted founded his
company’s reputation on the sand
and gravel products provided
by his Elk River mining reserve;
supplying area golf courses and
athletic fields with the finest
quality construction sands
and maintenance products in
the region. His 60 employees
are known for their legendary
customer service, offering a
professional, friendly and honest
experience. This attitude has lead
to more than 200 unique and
innovative products. His staff
is continually seeking creative
solutions to customer requests;
and with their own fleet of
tandems, tri-axels, Super 7’s,
trucks and pups and semi end
dumps they have set the standard
in the 5-state area market for
responsive delivery.
Diversification is the key
word to enhancing services for
customers and keeping up with
the ever-changing needs of the
customer. With the creation of
the computerized Accublender™
in 1995, customer’s requests for
quality, consistent engineered
soils were answered. The recent
addition of Rain Garden Drainage
Filtration Soils, Rooftop
Lightweight Garden Mixes, CUStructural
® soil and Minnesota
DOT soil mixes has further defined
the Plaisted reputation as the
leading soil blender in the region.
Customers wanting the benefits
of peat in their mixes, encouraged
the purchase of the Mcgregor,
Minnesota peat lands. Masons in
the area seeking to find professional
grade tools and hot mason sand
found their requests answered
by the opening of the Plaisted
Landscape Supply retail store in
1999. The store also became
distributors for Keystone® retaining
wall and Borgert® pavers. And
in 2001, Plaisted Precast started
producing a full line of septic tank
products and also became the local
manufacturer of Stone Strong®
“Big Block” retaining wall systems.
Stone Strong® applications include
residential, commercial, bridge
approaches, erosion control and
shoreline protection.
