Teichert, a private company, is an infrastructure and site development contractor and a construction materials producer. The company's construction services include mass grading, asphalt paving, concrete curbs and sidewalks, underground pipelines, and joint utility installations. The construction materials businesses produce crushed stone, sand, gravel, asphalt concrete, ready-mix concrete, and precast concrete products. Additionally, the Teichert Foundation, a nonprofit organization, awards grants to community organizations and provides employee-matching grants.
Adolph Teichert immigrated to New York City from Germany in 1866, and he was recruited by the California Artificial Stone Paving Company in the 1870s. His craftsmanship was renowned, and some of his earliest work can still be seen in Golden Gate Park and near the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco.
Teichert came to Sacramento to work on laying the sidewalks around the original California State Capitol building, and then started his own business in 1887, building walkways, basement floors, sidewalks, fencing, and other projects. The original Teichert stamp can still be seen imprinted in many sidewalks throughout many neighborhoods in the region.
