P.A. Landers

What P.A. Landers does

P.A. Landers, Inc. is a privately-held, vertically-integrated construction materials and services company headquartered at 351 Winter Street in Hanover, Massachusetts, founded by Preston A. Landers in 1978. The company operates from five locations across Eastern and Southeastern Massachusetts — Hanover (corporate offices and repair), Plymouth (concrete division and quality control lab), Forestdale on Route 130 (aggregate division and residential services), Mashpee (concrete production), and South Plymouth (Mountain Hill Bogs cranberry farm) — and serves contractors, municipalities, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), commercial developers, and homeowners from South Boston to Cape Cod. Landers' Farm LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary that operates the cranberry farm under the Ocean Spray Growers Co-op.

The company produces aggregates (crushed stone, sand, and gravel) from company-owned gravel pits on the South Shore and Cape Cod, operates three ready-mix concrete plants in Hanover, Plymouth, and Mashpee with automated batching control systems, and runs a stump-dump recycling facility on Cape Cod with grinding and screening equipment capable of processing hundreds of tons of material per day into recycled products including road base, mulch, compost, and topsoil. Construction services span roadway, utility, site, and streetscaping work; the firm is prequalified with bonding and insurance capacity for both government and private projects, and its Quality Control Department holds certifications from the American Concrete Institute (ACI), NETTCP, and MassDOT. The technology stack includes InSite and HCSS software for earthwork estimating, automated concrete batching controls, two 34m Schwing concrete pumps with wireless remotes, and a fleet ranging from D3-D8 bulldozers and 5-to-50-ton excavators to graders, pavers, rollers, and front-discharge concrete mixers.

P.A. Landers generates revenue across seven streams: aggregate materials sales, ready-mix concrete (custom mix designs batched to order), construction services (unit-priced and bid), equipment rentals with licensed operators (pay-as-you-go), commercial and residential delivery services, material disposal and recycling tipping fees, and cranberry farming through Ocean Spray. Pricing is quote-based across verticals; residential customers can purchase as little as one square yard for pickup or delivery, while commercial and municipal work is contracted on a project basis. Direct sales are executed through an experienced sales team with 150+ years of combined experience, supported by the company's own distribution fleet, eliminating third-party delivery margin layers and enabling same-day residential delivery — a configuration that supports the firm's positioning as one of the largest construction contractors in the Northeast.
