Barney & Dickenson Inc. was founded in 1939 by Harry A. Barney and David L. Dickenson; two well known and respected area businessmen. The company operated for the first 8 years as a sand and gravel operation only; as it had since the 1920's under the name of Rider Sand Gravel. Seeing a need for ready mix concrete in the ever-expanding Triple Cities area, Barney & Dickenson in 1947 became the pioneer in Broome County for ready mix. In 1971, the company was sold to Robert F. Schumann and Robert S. Murphy, area businessmen and owners of Bob Murphy Inc.
The current owners are Robert S. Murphy Jr. and Mary Murphy Harrison.
In 1986, a second ready mix plant in Owego was opened to serve the Tioga County area. A third ready mix plant was added in 2005 in Choconut, Pennsylvania to serve northern part Pennsylvania.
A satellite Ready Mix Batch Plant was set up in Nichols, NY to service the construction of the 750,000 square foot Best Buy Distribution Center. Construction was completed in April 2003.
