Happy 40th: Blain Stumpf Rock, Sand & Gravel

Stumpf credits his success to the opportunities sent his way — a family friend got him in the business and Blain’s wife Marcia also comes from a family dedicated to hauling via dump truck. He also heaps praise on his drivers and support staff (about 30 total) who have years of experience in the industry and whose quick thinking make them great problem solvers out in the field.

The Placerville-based business moved into its current yard off Pleasant Valley Road 30 years ago and has expanded services to meet customers’ needs.

Blain Stumpf Rock, Sand & Gravel provides construction aggregates and contract hauling by the hour, ton or load as well as temporary fence rental, soil blends, stabilized decomposed granite and other landscape materials, bio-solids handling and disposal and spoils, waste and demolition handling and disposal. The yard also stocks culvert pipe in both corrugated steel and high density polyethylene.

The company is also known for its generosity. Community involvement is routine for Stumpf and his staff, whether it's delivering snow to local schools and daycares — much to the delight of the little ones — or supporting local Eagle Scouts, 4-H animal husbandry, Little League and other worthy organizations.

Though not on the road himself anymore, Blain said he gets a lot of satisfaction from seeing a job through — from the order to the delivery. He also shared that the people, both employees and customers, make the job enjoyable, even when he’s stuck behind a desk.

At the core of his successful business are the tenets Blain has always lived by:

Be honest.

Do the right thing.

Give people value.

Make sure people can trust your word.

Ensuring all at Blain Stumpf Rock, Sand & Gravel follows these rules, it’s no wonder the company has been “rocking your world since 1983.”
