HISTORY

Wayne Paving & Gravel began business in the spring of 1980. Like most businesses, it started out very small, with $5,000.00 cash, one single axle dump truck, a borrowed trailer, and two previously owned pickup trucks. In order to begin paving, our founder, Wayne Stephen borrowed $5,000 from the Bank of New York to purchase an American Roads paver and his first roller.

Within the next couple of years, our company started operating the business full-time, more inventories were purchased, and we began to serve more areas as we mobilized the equipment. Although the workload and revenue had continued to increase, it seemed as though profits were being eaten up by the rising cost of materials. It was at that time that Wayne began making plans for the production of his own materials. In 1983, Wayne made a down payment on the company’s current location in Shinglehouse, PA.

In 1996 Lisa Stephen expanded on the materials business by opening a ready mixed concrete operation, Little Lisa, Inc. dba Wayne Paving & Gravel. As part of the expansion, Wayne Paving & Gravel added operations in Coudersport, PA; Bradford, PA; Warren, PA; and Springville, NY. Shinglehouse, PA remains our only operating concrete plant today.
