7 Reasons Why Ready Mix Concrete Is Better Than On-Site Concrete Mix

There are two options for laying concrete. You can purchase ready-mix concrete or mix the concrete on-site. As concrete professionals, we believe that ready-mix concrete is the all-around better option for contractors and property owners. Here are seven reasons why ready-mix concrete is the better option for you. 

1. It’s Fast

Pumping on-site mixed concrete doesn’t take longer than ready-mix, but the mixing part can take some time. While you have the experts mix your concrete you can focus on other jobs like landscaping or plumbing. Plus, if you’re inexperienced at mixing concrete, you’ll save yourself time by avoiding potential mistakes. 

2. It’s Less Expensive

Ready-mix isn’t any more expensive than the concrete you mix yourself, and, when you add in all the labor, equipment, and cost of potential mistakes, the ready-mix concrete has already paid for itself. 

3. It’s Efficient

Mixing concrete takes time, can be messy if you aren’t careful, and requires special equipment. There are so many steps you will skip if you go with the ready-mix concrete. The professionals will mix it, haul it to the site, and even pump it for you. 

4. Better Quality

Professional concrete suppliers have the best concrete available. If you aren’t familiar with concrete you might not be purchasing a superior product, like most concrete professionals use when creating ready-mix. 

5. Better Consistency

Professional concrete services that supply ready-mix concrete are experts when it comes to mixing. If you aren’t familiar with the correct ratios or if it isn’t mixed correctly, the concrete you mix could not set right or have other issues. 

6. Customized for You

When you contact a concrete professional to order ready-mix, they will make the exact amount that’s needed for your job. Since they’ve been pumping and laying concrete for years, they’ll be precise so your job is completed and there is no waste. 

7. Environmentally Friendly

Speaking of waste, when it comes to ready-mix, there is none, as we said, so this is the most environmentally friendly way to go. When you mix your own, if you aren’t a professional, there’s always room for error and waste, including your time. Also, by having the ready-mix delivered to your job, there will be very little dust to inhale.
