Frequently asked questions
What is ready-mix concrete?
Ready-mix concrete is a pre-mixed combination of cement, aggregates (like sand or gravel), and water that is delivered to your job site in a ready-to-use form. It ensures consistency in quality and saves time on-site.
What types of concrete mixes do you offer?
We offer a variety of mix designs tailored to meet different project needs, including standard mixes, high-strength, fiber-reinforced, and air-entrained options. Custom mixes are also available upon request.
Do you offer custom mix designs for specific projects?
Yes, we can create custom concrete mix designs to meet engineering specifications or special project requirements such as increased strength, faster curing, or specific workability.
How much concrete do I need for my project?
To estimate how much concrete you need, multiply the length × width × depth of the area (in feet), then divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards. Our team can also help you calculate the exact amount.
What strength of concrete should I order?
The required strength depends on your project type. For example, driveways typically require 3,000–4,000 PSI concrete, while commercial foundations may require stronger mixes. We can help you choose the right PSI for your job.
How far in advance should I schedule a concrete delivery?
We recommend placing your order at least 2–3 days in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak construction seasons.
Do you deliver to residential and commercial sites?
Yes, we deliver to both residential and commercial job sites, including homes, construction zones, and industrial projects.
How long does delivery take once an order is placed?
Delivery times can vary depending on location and schedule, but we typically provide same-day or next-day service when scheduled in advance.
Is there a minimum order quantity for delivery?
Yes, most ready-mix orders require a minimum of 3–5 cubic yards for delivery, but this may vary depending on your location or project type.
What areas do you deliver to?
We serve a wide regional area. Please contact our team for specific service boundaries or to confirm if your project is within our delivery zone.
How long does ready-mix concrete stay workable after delivery?
Concrete typically stays workable for about 60–90 minutes after mixing, depending on the weather, additives used, and the mix design.
How should I prepare my site before the concrete truck arrives?
Make sure the pour area is properly formed, compacted, and free of debris. Ensure there is enough space for the truck to maneuver and pour safely.
How long does concrete take to cure?
Concrete takes about 24 to 48 hours to set and typically reaches full strength after 28 days. You can usually walk on it after 1–2 days and drive on it after 7 days, depending on the mix and conditions.
How is ready-mix concrete priced?
Concrete is typically priced per cubic yard, and the final cost depends on the mix type, delivery distance, quantity, and any special additives or finishes requested.
Do you offer quotes or estimates before ordering?
Yes, we provide free quotes based on your project’s size, mix type, and location. Contact us to get started.
