Santa Barbara Sand And Topsoil Inc. -Company History

 

Founded in 1910 by Silvio L. Batastini, the company began as a modest materials company built on hard work, dedication, and a commitment to quality service.

 

In 1950, Silvio's four sons joined him in continuing the legacy, operating by Batastini Bros.

As the business grew and evolved, so did its identity.

 

In 1975, Batastini Bros. became “Santa Barbara Sand And Topsoil Corp”. Under the leadership of three of the four brothers, the company entered a new era, eventually passing down the operations to the next generation: Don, Vic, and Ed. To this day, Vic remains involved in the day-to-day operations.

 

 In 2022, Steve Boneck, a 19-year veteran of the company, transitioned into ownership, securing a share from one of the family members. He later further solidified his commitment by acquiring an additional share from a retiring partner. Driven by a desire to uphold the inherent family spirit of the business, Steve enlisted his two sons to help carry the tradition forward.

 

Today, Steve Boneck is committed to ensuring that Santa Barbara Sand And Topsoil Corp. remains deeply rooted in family values and community service, bringing it back to the same integrity and dedication it was founded on over a century ago.
