The average American uses ten tons of aggregate per year; 400 tons of aggregate on average is used for the construction of a new home and there are approximately 38,000 tons of aggregate in a mile of interstate. George Reed and 7/11 Materials are committed to supplying aggregate while maintaining careful stewardship of the land. We are proud of our reclamation - transforming unusable land to useful and productive end uses.
We have reclaimed rocky land too expensive to irrigate and returned it to grassy grazing land with water storage ponds for a productive cattle operation. Along side the Stanislaus River, we have created lakes offering a natural environment for many species of birds and fish, as well as water storage for the Sacramento Valley.
We process "tailings" which were left from the gold rush. Gold miners extracted what they found useful from the land and left large piles of rock, blanketing the area and making the land unusable. These piles of rock are now being crushed, washed and sized for many different uses; this land is being returned to its natural state.

We plant and farm property after extracting the aggregates that were used for building the solid foundations on which our communities thrive. | The wetlands we have created and preserved are home to an abundance of wildlife. | We are taking a step towards a better and brighter future by incorporating solar energy. | To ensure successful revegetation of oak woodlands, we hand plant acorns to ensure healthy long-lived naturalized trees. |
