Tri-Con Materials has a rich history in the aggregate industry, dating back to 1968 when it was founded as Walnut Sand and Gravel by Richard 'Dick' Nelson and his brother Ronald Nelson. They operated gravel pits in Walnut, Hennepin, and Henry, providing top-quality washed aggregates for asphalt, concrete, and base material applications. In 1992, Tri-Con Materials was formed by Richard Nelson along with partners Steve Nelson and Steve Harmon. In 1997, Tri-Con Materials merged with Walnut Sand and Gravel to become the operating entity it is today.

Based at their Hennepin location on the Illinois River, which also houses their barge-loading facilities, Tri-Con Materials continues to prioritize providing the highest quality aggregate materials to their customers in Illinois. With a team of professionals who have a deep understanding of the industry, Tri-Con Materials ensures that they deliver the best products, service, and results for pavement construction projects throughout Illinois.
