About Staker Parsons:
"For 60 years, Staker Parson Companies has worked to be the Preferred Source of quality sand, rock & landscape products, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt, paving, and construction serving a wide variety of contractors, businesses, government agencies, municipalities, and homeowners.
Staker Parson Companies was formed in 2001 when Staker Paving and Construction Company and Jack B. Parson Companies became partners. Staker Parson Companies’ rich history began 60 years ago. In 1927, a fifteen-year-old boy boarded a train and headed off to help his father build roads. That summer’s experience developed into a lifelong passion for Jack B. Parson. After learning to operate every piece of equipment in the fleet, he was promoted to foreman, and gained a wealth of experience in the construction business. In 1952, Jack founded Jack B. Parson Companies in Smithfield, Utah, and the company grew to become one of the largest rock product producers and contractors in the region".
