Our Mixes

All orders are custom mixed. Our trucks mix standard specifications of 2500psi-5000 psi and we also make a variety of specialty mixes including Rapid Set ® . In addition to our 3/4″ minus round concrete rock, we also have pea gravel (3/8 buckshot) available upon request. Here are some examples:

3000 PSI

Fence posts, rat slabs (slab that is used under tile flooring), Post holes, for pole barns

3500 PSI

Personal Sidewalk, footings, patios, dog runs, trash slabs, shed slabs, pier pads, steps

4000 PSI

City Sidewalk, Driveways, Approaches, Footings, Foundations, Retaining Walls, Garage Floors, Hot Tub Pads

4500 PSI

RV Slabs, Shop Floors, Etc.

Some Concrete Definitions

Air Entrainment

All our mixes are chemically air-entrained. This means microscopic bubbles are introduced into the fluid concrete allowing expansion and contraction of the hardened concrete. This provides increased resistance to temperature changes (freezing and thawing) and minimizes cracking. Air-entrainment also greatly improves workability, giving semi-liquid concrete a “creamy” look and feel. Less water is required in all mixes, and the billions of air bubbles (400-600 billion per cubic yard) reduce “bleeding” (separation of the water from the paste), resulting in a more durable concrete.

Slump

The term “slump” refers to the fluidity or stiffness of semi-liquid concrete. Unlike ready-mix, our truck operator controls the amount of water being added to your mix as it is being delivered, assuring you the slump you desire.

Fiber Mesh

Fiber mesh is a mass of small polypropylene fibers that can be added to your mix upon request. The fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the mix and provide added protection from cracking due to shrinkage and expansion. Replacing rebar and/or wire mesh. Fiber Mesh is $8 per pound.

Accelerator

This additive is used upon request, usually during the winter, to enhance curing. Accelerator cost is $5 per percent per cubic yard

Hot water

is used during the winter months to help the chemical process start in cold weather, so finishing can be completed properly. Hot Water is and a mandatory charge of $5 per yard
