Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can we drive on the new concrete?

Typically you can drive on your new driveway 4-5 days after the concrete is poured. The amount of time can depend on concrete thickness, type of concrete used and other variable factors.

What are the ingredients of concrete?

The key ingredients in every type of concrete are water, cement, and aggregate. The ratio of ingredients (or the addition of other materials) determines the type of concrete produced. Various aggregates can be used depending on the application. Additional add materials can be used to enhance strength or allow better workability.

What is the ideal mix of concrete?

The ideal mix of concrete depends on your application. We can produce the ideal mix for any requirement, using a different mix and ratio of ingredients. Whether you need concrete that is more free-flowing, or high-strength, we can customize your concrete product and mix it right on site.

How much concrete will I need?

Calculating the exact amount of concrete you need for replacing a sidewalk, pouring a new driveway or pool deck, or even repairing a parking lot is relatively straightforward in most cases, with a simple calculation of width x length x thickness. The trickier problem for most people is determining the thickness and type of concrete needed for a specific application. We encourage you to discuss your requirements with one of our friendly concrete specialists. Rest assurred, with Boswell you only pay for what you pour.

What access does Boswell need to deliver my concrete?

Our trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds fully loaded and are the approximate size of a standard commercial box truck. We would require drive access and a place to park where the concrete is to be poured.
