Services
Ready Mixed Concrete
We produce NCDOT-approved ready mixed concrete with diverse mix designs including high-strength, lightweight, and integrally colored options. Our enclosed batchers and hot water systems ensure winter-weather reliability. Deliveries range from 1-yard batches to 200+ yards per hour using DOT-certified equipment.
Retaining Walls
As licensed Verti-Block distributors, we provide precast retaining wall systems with engineered hollow cavities for drainage efficiency. Our solutions accommodate heights up to 14 feet with standard blocks and greater when reinforced. Installation requires no heavy machinery, enabling tight-access placements.
Builders Supplies
Our three Asheville-area supply centers stock steel reinforcing materials, masonry products, foundation supplies, and aggregates. We maintain inventory of #3-#6 Rebar, concrete/masonry sand, and river rock. Trade partnerships ensure specialized materials are readily available.
Custom Mix Designs
We create tailored concrete formulations for unique project requirements. Capabilities include pervious, self-consolidating, and fiber-reinforced mixes. On-site color systems offer 5,000+ integrally colored concrete options from 24 manufacturers with same-day service.
Verti-Block Systems
The Verti-Block system features 2'x4'x3' hollow blocks with interlocking male-female connectors. Its design reduces labor costs compared to hand-laid walls while permitting fence installations atop the structure. The system works for gravity walls and reinforced applications.
