Showed up 3hrs late, didnt have the right mix, truck used all his water bc mix wasnt correct they sent me 3000psi lime stone mix when it called for pea gravel, Kevin on the phone didnt answer any questions why the trucks were late, couldnt even give me a reason or time frame he just told me to deal with it or go somewhere else. This was the absolute worst concrete plant Ive ever seen.
