  • Ready-mix concrete is concrete produced at a batch plant using measured amounts of cement, aggregates, water and other materials. It is transported to the construction site in a concrete mixer truck, ready for placement by the contractor or concrete crew. GrayRock Ready Mix produces and delivers ready-mix concrete from its Jacksonville, NC batch plant for projects throughout Eastern North Carolina.

  • The cost of ready-mix concrete depends on the mix design, required strength, quantity ordered, delivery location and any special project requirements. Concrete is typically ordered by the cubic yard. For accurate pricing in Jacksonville, NC or surrounding areas, contact GrayRock Ready Mix at (910) 750-8158 with your project details to request a quote.

  • Concrete is measured in cubic yards. For a rectangular slab, multiply the length by the width by the thickness, using feet for all three measurements. Divide the result by 27 to convert cubic feet into cubic yards. For example, a 20-foot by 20-foot slab that is 4 inches thick requires approximately 4.94 cubic yards before accounting for waste or uneven ground. Confirm your final quantity with your contractor before ordering.
