Common Questions

FAQ

You need at minimum a 1/2-ton pickup truck or mid-size SUV with a 2-5/16" trailer ball hitch. For 2 yards of concrete, a 3/4-ton truck is required. If you don't have the right hitch ball, we can provide an adapter. Your vehicle must also have a 4-way flat trailer light connector.

Our trailers continue to rotate and mix while you tow them, so the concrete stays fresh. We recommend a maximum of 30 miles from our location for best results. For most jobs in the Hitchcock, Texas City, La Marque, Santa Fe, and Dickinson area, you're well within range.

We sell concrete in 1/4-yard increments, starting from 1/4 yard. That's perfect for small jobs like fence post footings, a short sidewalk section, or a small repair. No minimums — you pay for exactly what you need.

5-Sack is standard strength concrete suitable for most residential projects: driveways, patios, sidewalks, and landscaping. 6-Sack is a heavier-duty mix with more cement for higher-load applications like structural footings, commercial floors, or areas with heavy traffic. When in doubt, ask our team — we'll recommend the right mix for your job.

Yes. A $50 cleaning deposit is required when you pick up the trailer. You must clean all excess concrete from the trailer before returning it. The deposit is fully refunded when the trailer is returned clean. We have a rinse area on-site if needed.

Absolutely. If your job requires more concrete than fits in one load, just let us know when you pick up your first load so we can plan accordingly. The $30 trailer fee is a one-time charge per visit, so additional loads the same day may qualify for a reduced fee — call us to discuss.

For most jobs over 1/4 yard, yes — significantly cheaper. A 60-lb bag makes about 0.017 cubic yards, so for 1 yard you'd need ~59 bags at roughly $6–$8 each = $350–$470 in bags alone, plus you'd still need to mix them. Our U-Cart concrete for 1 yard runs about $215–$260 — already mixed and ready to pour.
