Family owned. Three locations. One standard.

Liter's Inc. has spent decades taking limestone out of Kentucky ground and putting it where it needs to go. Contractors come back because the material is consistent, the trucks arrive, and the people answer the phone.

01 The operation

The stone is ours end to end.

From the quarries at Lockport and Irvington to the Hitt Lane yard, every load that crosses our scales is held to the same standard — highway base, foundation stone, drainage rock or a farm driveway.

We produce what we sell rather than reselling someone else's stone, so a gradation we commit to is ours to honour. Delivery is contracted to haulers we keep on standby — we'd rather book a truck the day you need one than bill you for a fleet sitting idle.

02 Since 1939

Three generations of the same family.

William T. Liter started the quarry in 1939 to supply the Louisville market with construction-grade aggregate, and to make a modest living for his family. It has been family-owned and operated ever since.

What began as one quarry now runs from sand and gravel through every size of construction aggregate — limestone dust to Class III channel liner — for a homeowner putting in a driveway just as readily as for a contractor supplying a large job. Material is delivered by contracted haulers or picked up at the quarry.

03 Safety

Documented, and worked daily.

Heavy equipment and crushed stone demand discipline. Our crews work to written standards every shift — the same discipline that keeps a job on schedule keeps people whole.

PPE

Personal protective equipment

Standards set by task and enforced on every site, for our crews and for visiting drivers.

CERT

Equipment certification

Loaders, crushers, screens and haul units inspected and certified on schedule.

LOTO

Lockout / tagout

Documented isolation procedures before any maintenance on plant or conveyor.

HAZCOM

Hazard communication

Labelling, data sheets and training kept current across all three locations.

04 Standards

Four things we don't compromise.

Quality

Consistent gradation, clean stone. What you specify is what crosses the scale.

Reliability

Three locations and haulers on standby. Shorter hauls, tighter windows.

Safety

Written procedures worked every shift, not reviewed once a year.

Community

We live here. The roads we supply are the roads we drive.
