The key ingredients in every type of concrete are water, cement and aggregate. The ratio of ingredients (or addition of other materials) determines the type of concrete produced. Various aggregates can be used depending on the application (for example, pea gravel can be used to create an exposed aggregate finish). Additional add materials can be used to enhance strength or allow better workability.
The answer can vary, depending on your project. When in doubt, you should consult a construction professional.
Pouring concrete in freezing weather can be problematic due to the water used in concrete formulation. We recommend following TXDot guidelines: to stop pouring when the ambient temperature is 35° and falling, and to resume pouring when the ambient temperature is 35° and rising.
Yes. We will deliver your required concrete to any location in the DFW metroplex. (If you are outside our indicated service area, please call.) If the pour site does not have adjacent access to the work site, you will need to have your own workers on site to transport the concrete to the work site.
Concrete pours do involve mess. All PourBoys vehicles carry water hoses to help with clean up. We suggest you take precautions before a job starts to further decrease the amount of cleaning up after the pour. To minimize spillage, our trucks are equipped with tarpaulins underneath the concrete mixer’s auger and chute. To minimize site cleanup after the pour, use caution to avoid spillage when transporting concrete via wheelbarrows, and have a washout area available once the pour has finished.
The PourBoys volumetric mixers produce concrete as you go, so there is no ‘excess’ concrete - you only pay for what you use.
PourBoys makes it easy to get the concrete you need for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
