5 Mistakes to Avoid When Ordering Concrete

Pouring concrete isn’t just “call the truck and pour it out.”
A small mistake during the ordering process can cost you cracks, wasted money, and extra work.
Here are the 5 most common mistakes — and how to avoid them 👇
✅ 1. Ordering the Wrong Amount
Ordering too little means you’ll need a second delivery — and the mix won’t match perfectly.
📐 Tip: Use an online calculator or send us your measurements — we’ll calculate the exact volume for you.
✅ 2. Choosing the Wrong Concrete Mix
Not all concrete is the same! Driveways, patios, and foundations each need different grades.
🧱 Tip: Tell us what you’re building — we’ll recommend the right mix and additives for Florida’s climate.
✅ 3. Poor Site Preparation
Soft soil, debris, or uneven ground will ruin even the best concrete.
🚜 Tip: Make sure the base is compacted, leveled, and the forms are set before the truck arrives.
✅ 4. Bad Timing on Delivery
If the truck arrives too early — your team isn’t ready. Too late — the mix starts to set.
⏱️ Tip: Schedule the pour carefully. Our drivers always arrive on time to keep your concrete fresh.
✅ 5. Ignoring the Weather
Florida’s heat and humidity affect how concrete sets and cures.
🌦 Tip: We adjust our mix for local weather conditions — just tell us your pour date in advance.
✨ With the right preparation, your concrete will last for decades.
Avoid these mistakes — and build it right the first time!
