Welcome to the Clayton Companies
Description
In 1951 Ocean County New Jersey was a sparsely populated area well known for its oceanfront resort areas like Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights and the winter resort of Lakewood. However, as the 1950's progressed, big changes were in store for Ocean County. People fron North Jersey began to move "down the shore", and with the opening of the Garden State Parkway in mid decade, the trickle became a gusher.
Riding the crest if the housing and construction boom was William Clayton who operated a mining company in Lakewood. Recognizing the need for a concrete supplier in the area, Clayton began the expansion of the company into the multi-faceted organization it has become today, a recognized leader in concrete, block products and recycled materials. From their first small plant, the Clayton Companies have expanded to a network of plants and mining sites that completely service New Jersey and parts of New York and Pennsylvania as well. The group of companies includes Ralph Clayton and Sons, which provides ready-mix concrete and building materials for highway, residential and commercial developments; Clayton Block, which manufactures architectural and specialty concrete block products; and Clayton Sand, a leading supplier of sand to Clayton plants and customers alike. Ralph Clayton and Sons is one of the foremost concrete suppliers in the state, as well as the nation, and the company's ability to deliver ready-mix concrete on site and on time, regardless of the size of the job, means that Clayton customers get the quality and service that they demand. With size comes industry awards. In 1990, the company won a Grand Award from the New Jersey Chapter of the American Concrete Institute and the New Jersey Concrete and Aggregate Association for the ammunition pier at Naval Weapons Station, Earle. 1991 brought not only the Grand Award for the Ocean Place Hilton project in Long Branch, but honorable mention for a number of other Clayton supplied projects as well.
Clayton Block Company is capable of producing over 360 different block shapes, designs and textures and has sucessfully worked with architects and contractors to design and manufacture custom block for specific projects. Newer block product additions are a lightweight block called C-Lite and Allan Block retaining wall systems. As a licensed manufacturer of Allan Block, which uses no mortar and is available in a variety of shapes and colors, Clayton Block has found unprecedented acceptance of this superior product by contractors, landscapers and homeowners. Clayton Block also offers customers a full line of specialty finish, split face and ground face architectural block designs that have been selected for some of New Jersey's most beautiful buildings. In fact, in 1990 the company won a Grand Award for excellence in concept, design, originality and application of brick or block for the products supplied to the Princeton University Fischer Hall building from the New Jersey State Conference of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen and the Mason Contractors Association of New Jersey.
