In 1987, Purdy Concrete built its first batch plant to supply a rapidly growing construction market with ready mix concrete. Over the years, as customers requested new products and additional services, more batch plants and mixer trucks were added. In 1993, Purdy Materials converted 30 acres of farm land from traditional row crops to Kentucky Bluegrass sod. Since then, our turfgrass acreage has grown to over 110 acres and we provide a year-round crop to the marketplace. On the rest of the farm, we continue to raise soybeans and field corn.

Our family has been farming in Tippecanoe County for five generations. In 1993, we converted 30 acres of farm land from traditional row crops to Kentucky Bluegrass sod. Today, we have more than 110 acres of turfgrass in production. Over the years, we have built a reputation with local landscapers and homeowners for our consistent, high quality sod and professional delivery service. Our sod has been installed throughout Indiana on athletic fields, golf courses, commercial buildings and residential lawns.

In 1997, Purdy Materials started mining sand and gravel to supply its own concrete operation with quality aggregates. We began selling to the public in 1998. Our current plant is located on farmland in Tippecanoe County near the city of Lafayette, Indiana. We excavate aggregates from glacial and alluvial deposits and process them via a series of crushing, screening and washing actions. Adherence to INDOT CAPP quality standards and the use of a new processing plant ensure availability of a wide range of products to meet the aggregate needs of federal, state and local agencies, as well as commercial and residential contractors.
