American Slate Group

You can find us at No. 835 Mc Entire Lane. It’s not the most exciting part of the city, but it gives us the room we need for all the slate we handle. We’ve been at this spot for several years now. The yard is usually a mess of crates and broken bits of stone, which is just part of the deal when you move this much weight. We focus mostly on slate, which is a bit of a niche thing, but we like it. We don't have a receptionist to greet you or any fancy brochures to hand out. Usually, you'll just see someone in work clothes covered in grey dust. We spend our days loading and unloading trucks and making sure the pieces are cut roughly to the right size. It's loud work and it can be hard on the back, but we've all gotten used to it. The office is just a small room with a desk that’s seen better days. We don't spend much time in there anyway. People come to us because they need slate for a roof or a walkway, and we show them what's currently sitting in the yard. Sometimes we run low on certain colors, and we just have to wait for the next shipment. There’s no big corporate strategy here. We just show up, move some stone, and go home. It's a plain way to make a living, and we're fine with that.
