You shouldnt pay more than 90 dollars per yard for a 2500 PSI big rock mix. The only problem is that a pump for big rock costs twice as much as a peagravel pump. So unless your moving alot of concrete, you should probably pay the extra 5 or so dollars per yard for pea gravel.

When you call to place your order, ask for the price before you pay. They will send you to a plant manager if you haggle enough and you can usually get the price down pretty far.

National ready mix is the most difficult to deal with however, you get exactly what you want every time you order. You will typically pay more for their concrete than others

Associated Ready mix is another one in your neck of the woods. They are quite a bit cheaper but also use a cheaper mix of sand and gravel that usually produces a very rocky blend. If you now how to deal with the rock, then you should have no issues. Don t use this com[any if your doing a colored or stamped finish on your slab.

There will likely be a couple of Local only mix plants that will produce a very user freindly mix design, but they also charge for it.

bottom line is, you still get what you pay for in the construction world. As long as you have finishers that are experienced and a pump operator that knows his $h t, you should buy the national ready mix mix concrete and deal with arrogance of the phone guy when place your order.

If you need help with your order, let me know. I have accounts with most of the larger chains and can help with the logistics and the price.

Talk to you in a bit John. I left you a message.

I just paid $92.00 a yard for 3000 psi, and I think $150.00 for a pump for ten yards. I always pay the extra couple bucks for the extra 500 psi when stuck using pea gravel mix.

That would be great. No rush, I am not planning to do this for at least a month.
