Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Significant Accounting Policies Organization Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is a natural resource-based building materials company. As of March 31, 2024, the Company supplies aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) through its network of approximate ly 360 qua rries, mines and distribution yards in 28 states, Canada and The Bahamas. Martin Marietta also provides cement and downstream products and services, namely, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and paving, in vertically-integrated structured markets where the Company also has a leading aggregates position. The Company’s heavy-side building materials are used in infrastructure, nonresidential and residential construction projects. Aggregates are also used in agricultural, utility and environmental applications and as railroad ballast. The aggregates, cement and ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines are reported collectively as the “Building Materials” business. The Company’s Building Materials business includes two reportable segments: the East Group and the West Group. BUILDING MATERIALS BUSINESS Reportable Segments East Group West Group Operating Locations Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Product Lines Aggregates and Asphalt Aggregates, Cement and Ready Mixed Concrete, Asphalt and Paving The Company’s Magnesia Specialties business, which represents a separate reportable segment, has manufacturing facilities in Manistee, Michigan, and Woodville, Ohio. The Magnesia Specialties business produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental applications, and dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers for steel production and soil stabilization. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events. As future events and their effects cannot be fully determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Restricted Cash At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had restricted cash of $ 2 million and $ 10 million , respectively. The 2024 amount is designated to collateralize certain letters of credit, while the 2023 amount was invested in an account designated for the purchase of like-kind exchange replacement assets under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and related IRS procedures (Section 1031). The Company was restricted from utilizing the 2023 cash for purposes other than the purchase of qualified assets for 180 days from receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the exchanged property. Any unused restricted cash at the end of the 180 days is transferred to unrestricted accounts of the Company and used for general corporate purposes. The statements of cash flows reflect cash flow changes and balances for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on an aggregated basis. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the aggregated amounts presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows: March 31, December 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in Millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,648 $ 1,272 Restricted cash 2 10 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 2,650 $ 1,282 Consolidated Comprehensive Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Consolidated comprehensive earnings consist of consolidated net earnings, adjustments for the funded status of pension and postretirement benefit plans and foreign currency translation adjustments, and are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings. Consolidated comprehensive earnings attributable to Martin Marietta are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in Millions) Net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta $ 1,045 $ 121 Other comprehensive earnings, net of tax — 1 Consolidated comprehensive earnings $ 1,045 $ 122 Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of unrecognized gains and losses related to the funded status of the pension and postretirement benefit plans and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The components of the changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, are as follows: (Dollars in Millions) Pension and Foreign Currency Accumulated Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Balance at beginning of period $ ( 48 ) $ ( 1 ) $ ( 49 ) Other comprehensive loss before reclassifications, — ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other 1 — 1 Other comprehensive earnings (loss), net of tax 1 ( 1 ) — Balance at end of period $ ( 47 ) $ ( 2 ) $ ( 49 ) Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Balance at beginning of period $ ( 36 ) $ ( 2 ) $ ( 38 ) Amounts reclassified from accumulated other 1 — 1 Other comprehensive earnings, net of tax 1 — 1 Balance at end of period $ ( 35 ) $ ( 2 ) $ ( 37 ) Changes in net noncurrent deferred tax assets related to accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows: Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in Millions) Balance at beginning of period $ 54 $ 50 Tax effect of other comprehensive ( 1 ) — Balance at end of period $ 53 $ 50 Reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows: Three Months Ended Affected line items in the consolidated March 31, statements of earnings 2024 2023 and comprehensive earnings (Dollars in Millions) Pension and postretirement Amortization of prior service cost 2 1 Other nonoperating income, net Tax effect ( 1 ) — Income tax expense Total $ 1 1 Earnings per Common Share The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the diluted per-share computations reflect the number of common shares outstanding including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The following table reconciles the denominator for basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In Millions) Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 61.8 62.1 Effect of dilutive employee and director awards 0.2 0.1 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 62.0 62.2 New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires companies to apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The ASU will impact the Company's disclosures, but will have no impacts to its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose, on annual basis, a tabular tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts with specific categories, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. Additionally, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, local, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5 % of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The ASU will impact the Company's income tax disclosures, but not its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company's financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |

Business Combinations, Divestitures, Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale | 2. Business Combinations, Divestitures, Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale Business Combinations On January 12, 2024, the Company acquired Albert Frei & Sons, Inc. (AFS), a leading aggregates producer in Colorado. This acquisition provides more than 60 years (at 2023 production levels) of high-quality, hard rock reserves to better serve new and existing customers and enhances the Company's aggregates platform in the high-growth Denver metropolitan area. The Company has recorded preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are subject to additional reviews, such as asset verification, that are not yet complete. Thus, these amounts are subject to change during the measurement period, which remains open as of March 31, 2024. The goodwill generated by the transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition is reported in the Company's West Group but is immaterial for pro-forma financial statement disclosures. On February 11, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 20 active aggregates operations in Alabama, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia from affiliates of Blue Water Industries LLC (BWI Southeast) for $ 2.05 billion of cash on hand. The BWI Southeast acquisition complements Martin Marietta’s existing geographic footprint in the dynamic southeast region by allowing the Company to expand into new growth platforms in target markets including Nashville and Miami. The transaction closed on April 5, 2024 and the Company is in the process of determining the acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Divestitures On February 9, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations to CRH Americas Materials, Inc., a subsidiary of CRH plc, for $ 2.10 billion in cash. Specifically, the divested facilities included the Hunter cement plant in New Braunfels, Texas, related cement distribution terminals and 20 ready mixed concrete plants that served the Austin and San Antonio region, all of which were classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2023. The divestiture provided additional balance sheet flexibility to redeploy net proceeds into pure-play aggregates acquisitions. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $ 1.3 billion, which is included in Other operating (income) expense, net , on the Company's consolidated statement of earnings and comprehensive earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and is exclusive of expenses incurred due to the divestiture. The divested operations and the gain on divestiture are reported in the West Group. Discontinued Operations For the three months ended March 31, 2023, discontinued operations included the Company's Tehachapi, California cement plant, which was divested in October 2023, and the Stockton, California cement import terminal, which was divested in May 2023. There were no discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Financial results for the Company's discontinued operations are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 (Dollars in Millions) Total revenues $ 25 Pretax loss from discontinued operations $ ( 17 ) Income tax benefit ( 4 ) Loss from discontinued operations, $ ( 13 ) Cash flow information for the Company's discontinued operations is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 (Dollars in Millions) Net cash used for operating activities $ ( 4 ) Net cash used for investing activities (capital expenditures) $ ( 2 ) Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale Assets and liabilities held for sale at March 31, 2024 included certain nonoperating land. At December 31, 2023 , assets and liabilities held for sale also included the South Texas cement plant, related cement distribution terminals and 20 ready mixed concrete plants that were sold in February 2024. Assets and liabilities held for sale are as follows: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Continuing Operations (Dollars in Millions) Inventories, net $ — $ 61 Investment land 18 18 Other assets — 4 Property, plant and equipment — 327 Intangible assets, excluding goodwill — 122 Operating lease right-of-use assets — 15 Goodwill — 260 Total current assets held for sale $ 18 $ 807 Lease obligations — $ ( 16 ) Asset retirement obligations — ( 2 ) Total current liabilities held for sale $ — $ ( 18 ) |

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at rates based upon the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate, plus, for each rate, a margin determined in accordance with a ratings-based pricing grid. Any outstanding principal amounts, together with interest accrued thereon, are due in full on that maturity date. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the Revolving Facility. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated net debt-to-consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined by the Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months (the Ratio) to not exceed 3.50 x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Company may exclude from the Ratio any debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during the quarter or three preceding quarters so long as the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 4.00 x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under the Revolving Facility or the Company's trade receivable securitization facility (discussed below), consolidated debt, as defined, which includes debt for which the Company is a guarantor, shall be reduced in an amount equal to the lesser of $ 500 million or the sum of the Company’s unrestricted cash and temporary investments, for purposes of the covenant calculation. The Company was in compliance with the Ratio at March 31, 2024. The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $ 400 million trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility) that matures on September 19, 2024 . The Trade Receivable Facility, with Truist Bank, Regions Bank, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined. These receivables are originated by the Company and then sold or contributed to the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary. The Company continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased by the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary. Borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Adjusted Term SOFR), as defined, plus 0.7 %. The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements. Subject to certain conditions, including lenders providing the requisite commitments, the Trade Receivable Facility may be increased to a borrowing base not to exceed $ 500 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Trade Receivable Facility at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 . |

Financial Instruments Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | 6. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include temporary cash investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, publicly-registered long-term notes and debentures. Temporary cash investments are placed primarily in money market funds, money market demand deposit accounts and Eurodollar time deposit accounts with financial institutions. The Company’s cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months. Due to the short maturity of these investments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash is held in a trust account with a third-party intermediary. Due to the short-term nature of this account, the carrying value of restricted cash approximates its fair value. Accounts receivable are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, accounts receivable are more heavily concentrated in certain states, namely Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Minnesota, Arizona, Iowa, Florida and Indiana. The carrying values of accounts receivable approximate their fair values. Accounts payable represent amounts owed to suppliers and vendors. The estimated carrying value of accounts payable approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of the payables . The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt were $ 4.3 billion and $ 3.8 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2024 and $ 4.3 billion and $ 3.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2023. The estimated fair value of the Company’s publicly-registered long-term debt was estimated based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices. |

Revenues And Gross Profit [Abstract] | |
Revenues and Gross Profit | 11. Revenues and Gross Profit The following tables, which are reconciled to consolidated amounts, provide total revenues and gross profit (loss) by line of business: Building Materials (further divided by product line) and Magnesia Specialties. Interproduct revenues represent sales from the aggregates product line to the ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company combined the cement and ready mixed concrete product lines. This change was driven by the reduced significance of each of these product lines relative to the Building Materials business and consolidated operating results from recent divestitures. Additionally, there is a significant relationship between these product lines, as the ready mixed concrete product line is a significant customer of the cement product line. Total revenues and gross profit (loss) reflect continuing operations only. Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (Dollars in Millions) Total revenues: Building Materials business: Aggregates $ 885 $ 912 Cement and ready mixed concrete 265 340 Asphalt and paving services 59 58 Less: interproduct revenues ( 39 ) ( 39 ) Total Building Materials business 1,170 1,271 Magnesia Specialties 81 83 Total $ 1,251 $ 1,354 Gross profit (loss): Building Materials business: Aggregates $ 239 $ 238 Cement and ready mixed concrete 31 58 Asphalt and paving services ( 22 ) ( 20 ) Total Building Materials business 248 276 Magnesia Specialties 29 25 Corporate ( 5 ) 2 Total 272 303 The above information for 2023 has been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the cement product line reported total revenues of $ 169 million, inclusive of $ 49 million to the ready mixed concrete product line, and gross profit of $ 47 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the ready mixed concrete product line reported total revenues of $ 220 million and gross profit of $ 11 million. Revenues from sales of cement to the ready mixed concrete product line were previously eliminated in the interproduct revenues line. Performance Obligations. Performance obligations are contractual promises to transfer or provide a distinct good or service for a stated price. The Company’s product sales agreements are single-performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time. Performance obligations within paving service agreements are satisfied over time, primarily ranging from one day to two years . Customer payments for the paving operations are based on a contractual billing schedule and are typically paid-when-paid. Future revenues from unsatisfied performance obligations at March 31, 2024 and 2023 wer e $ 246 million and $ 241 million, respectively, where the remaining periods to complete these obligations ranged fro m one month to 21 months and one month to 30 months , respectively. Service Revenues. Service revenues, which include paving services located in California and Colorado, were $ 26 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and are reported in the West G roup. Contract Balances. Costs in excess of billings relate to the conditional right to consideration for completed contractual performance and are contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs in excess of billings are reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Billings in excess of costs relate to customers invoiced in advance of contractual performance and are contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents information about the Company’s contract balances: March 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in Millions) Costs in excess of billings $ 4 $ 5 Billings in excess of costs $ 9 $ 10 Revenues recognized from the beginning balance of contract liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $ 4 m illion and $ 5 m illion, respectively.

Other Income and Expenses [Abstract] | |
Other Operating Income (Expense), Net | 13. Other Operating Income (Expense), Net Other operating income (expense), net, is comprised generally of gains and losses on divestitures and the sale of assets; asset and portfolio rationalization charges; recoveries and losses related to certain customer accounts receivable; rental, royalty and services income; and accretion expense, depreciation expense and gains and losses related to asset retirement obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other operating (income) expense, net, included a $ 1.3 billion pretax gain on the divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations, which was partially offset by a $ 49 million pretax, noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge. The noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge for the three months ended March 31, 2024 relates to the Company's decision to cease using a railroad to transport aggregates products into Colorado. In connection with the AFS acquisition completed in January 2024, the Company has more local supply available from its operations and has discontinued using the railroad. This charge, which is reported in the West Group, reflects the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of certain long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for the cessation of these railroad operations. |

Earnings per Common Share | Earnings per Common Share The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the diluted per-share computations reflect the number of common shares outstanding including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The following table reconciles the denominator for basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share: Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 (In Millions) Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 61.8 62.1 Effect of dilutive employee and director awards 0.2 0.1 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 62.0 62.2 |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires companies to apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The ASU will impact the Company's disclosures, but will have no impacts to its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose, on annual basis, a tabular tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts with specific categories, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. Additionally, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, local, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5 % of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The ASU will impact the Company's income tax disclosures, but not its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company's financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current-year presentation.

Total Revenues and Gross Profit (Loss) by Product Line | The following tables, which are reconciled to consolidated amounts, provide total revenues and gross profit (loss) by line of business: Building Materials (further divided by product line) and Magnesia Specialties. Interproduct revenues represent sales from the aggregates product line to the ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company combined the cement and ready mixed concrete product lines. This change was driven by the reduced significance of each of these product lines relative to the Building Materials business and consolidated operating results from recent divestitures. Additionally, there is a significant relationship between these product lines, as the ready mixed concrete product line is a significant customer of the cement product line. Total revenues and gross profit (loss) reflect continuing operations only.
