Frequently asked questions

How do I order ready-mix?

Ready-mix is ordered in cubic yards. Always add 10% to your calculated volume for waste and spillage.

Which bag size is better?

For large pours, 80 lb bags are more efficient. For small jobs or hand mixing, 60 lb bags are easier.

What is minimum slab thickness?

Typical residential slabs are 4 inches. Driveways need 4-6 inches; footings depend on local frost depth and load.
