About Us
K2 Stone is one of the largest producers and distributors of natural stone in the Pacific Northwest. From thin veneers and mantels to full bed stone and landscaping products, we’re the go-to choice for architects, builders, masons, and homeowners.
With quarries in British Columbia and Montana, and store locations across British Columbia (Port Coquitlam, Victoria, Kelowna, Nanaimo) and the United States (Tukwila, WA; Kalispell, MT; Bend, OR), we’re more than just a stone supplier — we’re a trusted partner in creating beautiful, lasting spaces.
K2 Stone is part of The Hazelwood Group, a family of companies that believes in hard work, integrity, and treating people right.

Interested candidates are encouraged to stop by our production facility at 930 Maughan Rd in Nanaimo and fill out an application.
