What Is Ready Mix Concrete?
A standard ready mix concrete, sometimes called “redi-mix concrete,” is a mixture of a few materials:
- Sand and/or gravel (the aggregates)
- Portland cement
- Water
- Other chemical and/or mineral additives
Spragues’ specializes in creating ready mix concrete types that can be used in all applications, whether for decorative or structural purposes.
Decorative
We can design a ready mix concrete to be used as an architectural accent to your home, improving its aesthetic with a durable solution. SRM Concrete can create concrete that mimics the color of brick, wood, natural stones, and more.
Structural
Ready mix concrete, with its durability and strength, is a natural choice in construction. Also, we create concrete that can be used in all other applications, including:
- New home construction
- Room additions
- Parking lots
- Patios
- Driveways
- Roadways
- Foundations
- Grouts
Our Ready Mix Concrete Types
- Colored
Colored concrete is the chameleon concrete. It t can become anything you want: red bricks, rich brown wood, or dusty blue stones. But instead of spending thousands on these pricy, imported products, you can replicate that look with our custom concrete mixes.
- Pervious
Our green concrete mix! Also known as porous, no-fines, or permeable concrete, pervious concrete allows water and air to flow through it easily, resulting in pavements that have no runoff from storm water. This concrete alternative is recognized as a Best Management Practice by the EPA.
What You Can Do With Our Ready-Mix Concrete
Don’t limit yourself to simple, poured concrete. With the right contractor, you can use concrete to create natural-looking waterfalls, antique stone patios, or even shining wood floors!
- Stained
Stained concrete creates a look all its own—beautiful colors that bring out the natural roughness and unique look of concrete. Stained concrete can also be combined with stamping to create beautiful textures and patterns like cobblestone or flagstone.
- Stamped
Professional contractors use special molds to imprint a specific pattern or texture into poured concrete, creating a cobblestone effect or even sandstone or planks.
- Washed
This type of concrete can vary, depending on the look the customer wants. Exposed aggregate, a type of washed finish, exposes the rock underneath the surface to give the concrete a rugged, textured look. Read more about washed concrete.
