Thinking about starting a concrete project in West Haven? Whether you’re pouring a patio, building a shed foundation, or repairing a driveway, ordering concrete for the first time can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry—A-Plus Concrete is here to make the process easy with this step-by-step beginner’s guide.
What to Know Before You Order
Before scheduling your delivery, there are a few key things to figure out:
✅ Know Your Project Size
Measure your project area in feet and calculate the volume (length × width × depth). Divide the total cubic feet by 27 to convert to cubic yards, the standard unit for ordering concrete.
✅ Add a Buffer
Always add 5–10% extra to account for slight miscalculations or uneven surfaces. Running short can cause delays and headaches mid-pour.
✅ Have a Plan
Decide when you want the delivery and make sure you (or your crew) are ready to pour right away when the truck arrives.
Understanding Delivery Options and Costs
🚚 Small Load Delivery
For most home projects, you won’t need a full truckload. A-Plus Concrete specializes in small load delivery, so you can order as little as 1 cubic yard without high minimums or waste.
💵 Transparent Pricing
We offer clear, upfront pricing—no surprise fees. Your total cost depends on the amount ordered, distance to the site, and any additional services needed (like weekend delivery or additives).
What to Expect on Pour Day
On delivery day, here’s how to make things go smoothly:
✔ Site Access
Make sure the truck has a clear path to the pour area. Remove obstacles and vehicles ahead of time.
✔ Be Ready to Work
Concrete starts curing quickly, so you need to be ready to pour, spread, and finish as soon as it arrives. Have your tools and team in place.
✔ Communicate with the Driver
Let the driver know where to unload and how to approach the site. A little direction goes a long way in avoiding issues.
