What Seward Sand & Gravel Inc does

Seward Sand & Gravel Inc is a privately held aggregate materials and excavation services company headquartered at 532 County Highway 58, Oneonta, NY. The business traces to a 1930s-established quarry operation and was reorganized under founder David Beisler in the late 1970s when he merged a small excavation business with the purchased Seward Sand & Gravel entity. It now operates eight locations across Otsego, Delaware, Chenango, Madison, and Schoharie Counties in upstate New York, supported by a company-owned bluestone quarry, two wash-plant locations, a contract crushing operation, and a full-time delivery fleet covering the Northeast from Maine to Virginia.

The company's core product portfolio consists of bulk construction and landscaping aggregates — sand, gravel, crushed stone, washed stone, limestone, pea gravel, river rock, and paver sand — sourced from the owned bluestone quarry and processed through in-house wash plants. Service lines include custom on-site rock crushing and screening, excavation services, and trucking (dump trucks up to 20 tons within 50 miles of Oneonta, plus tractor trailers up to 120,000 lbs for regional work). Technology is conventional heavy industry: crushing/screening equipment, wash plants, and an owned fleet of dump trucks, tractor trailers, and excavation machinery; an online material calculator is provided on the company website.

Revenue is generated through one-time per-transaction sales of bulk aggregate materials and hourly or project-based fees for trucking, custom crushing, and excavation services (dump truck at $140/hour, Lowboy at $150-$165/hour). The go-to-market is sales-led via phone (607-432-1653), email, online contact form, and the company website, targeting four customer segments: homeowners and residential property owners, construction companies and contractors, landscaping professionals, and commercial business owners. The firm is founder-owned with no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
