Looking back on 2020

Starting our concrete business in 2020 may have sounded crazy, but Jim & I had a dream and a gut instinct and decided to knuckle down and open up shop.

We’ve been humbled by the support of the community in rallying together to share our business with friends & family. It has meant so much to us.

We’ve started this concrete business in the hardest times and we seem to be coming into 2021 with good direction.

We’re taking bookings now for jobs in 2021, so whether it be a new driveway or shed slab you’re looking at getting a quote for, call us, we’re always ready to lend a hand.
