At John McGowan & Sons, we believe that the foundation of every successful construction project lies in the quality of the materials we use. Whether we’re working on a residential driveway, a commercial parking lot, or a municipal infrastructure project, we ensure that all materials meet the highest standards for durability, performance, and aesthetics.

We collaborate with trusted vendors and use a wide variety of premium materials to ensure that every project is completed to the highest standards of quality. Our partnerships with top-tier suppliers allow us to offer innovative solutions that enhance the functionality and visual appeal of each project.

Our Materials

Asphalt

A mixture of sand, stone or gravel components. Usually compacted to 1 ½” and covers a crushed aggregate base or foundation.

Oil and Stone

Consists of either bluestone or burgundy gravel. Base combines layers of recycled aggregate, street tar and blacktop.

Paving Stone

A concrete product that comes in different shapes and colors.

Stamped Concrete

Identical to regular concrete- but includes a pattern that is stamped into the surface before it dries. Concrete can be stamped to look like wood, stone or brick. Using decorative concrete over existing concrete isn’t always practical due to the potential broken conditions of the existing concrete.

Concrete

Stone-like material used for various structural purposes. Usually consists of a mixture of cement and various aggregates such as sand, pebbles, gravel or shale with water. Once this mixture hardens, it becomes concrete. Concrete is virtually maintenance free, lasting up to five times longer than asphalt.

Our Vendors

We know that the final product is only as good as the building materials used to create it. That is why we procure the finest materials from reputable vendors. Using the very best landscape and outdoor construction products on the market ensures the durability of the finished product, so that it can be reliable for years to come.
