American Concrete

What American Concrete does

American Concrete, Inc. is a family-owned, ready-mixed concrete producer headquartered in Augusta, Georgia, with continuous family operation in concrete production dating back to 1926 and the company formally established in August 1993. The company operates five plant/office locations across the Augusta-Aiken metropolitan area spanning Georgia and South Carolina (Augusta-Wheeler Road, South Augusta, Martinez, Appling, and Warrenville, SC), serving both residential homeowners and commercial contractors within a regional delivery radius. Its product portfolio spans standard mixes (1,500 to 5,500 PSI), high-strength concrete (6,000+ PSI), colored, lightweight structural, pervious, decorative, high early-strength, watertight, flowable fill, mass, self-consolidating, fiber-reinforced, roller compacted, freeze-thaw resistant, and underwater concrete, alongside two proprietary sub-brands: DURACRETE (a carbon nanotube mix developed by NRMCA-certified technologists) and EccoCrete (a high fly-ash mix exceeding 40% fly ash content that matches or exceeds conventional mix strengths).

The underlying technology is built around in-house mix design expertise rather than software or digital platforms, with NRMCA Certified Concrete Technologist Level 4 staff capable of engineering specialized formulations. The business model is direct and sales-led: customers purchase through either cash-on-delivery (C.O.D.) transactions or open credit accounts with contractors, developers, and builders. Pricing is unit-based per cubic yard, with tiered rates ($160-$182/yd for contractors, $170-$182/yd for C.O.D. customers), minimum order requirements, add-on admixtures (fibers, retarders, superplasticizers), and ancillary accessories (expansion joints, keyway joints, mudsill anchors). Delivery charges, small-load fees, and excess truck time fees supplement unit pricing. The customer base spans retail chains (Starbucks, Aldi, Chick-fil-A), automotive (Lexus, Autoneum), healthcare, education (USC Aiken Convention Center), industrial (Georgia Iron Works), and senior living (Benton House), with named project work alongside broader residential and contractor relationships. The company is privately held by the founding family with no external investors, no disclosed funding rounds, and a documented policy of contributing 10% of income to local charities, particularly youth organizations in the CSRA region.

Its offering spans standard PSI mixes (2,500–5,500), high-strength concrete (6,000+ PSI), colored, lightweight, pervious, and decorative mixes, plus proprietary formulations including DURACRETE (carbon-nanotube enhanced) and EccoCrete (high-fly-ash sustainable). The company also supplies admixtures, fibers, and concrete accessories, and provides expert consultation on mix selection and yardage.

Product overview

American Concrete is a ready-mixed concrete producer serving the Augusta-Aiken area since 1926, offering a comprehensive portfolio of concrete products. The core product line includes Standard Mixes (1,500-5,500 PSI), High Strength Concrete (6,000+ PSI), Colored Concrete, Lightweight Structural Concrete, and the proprietary DURACRETE brand featuring carbon nanotube technology. Additional specialized products include Pervious Concrete for drainage applications and Decorative Concrete for architectural finishes. The company also provides specialty concrete types (High Early-Strength, Watertight, Flowable Fill, Mass Concrete, Self-Consolidating, Fiber-Reinforced, Roller Compacted, Freeze-Thaw Resistant, and Underwater Concrete) along with concrete accessories (fibers, expansion joints, keyway joints, mudsill anchors) and chemical admixtures (retarders, superplasticizers). The EccoCrete high fly-ash mix represents an eco-friendly option with over 40% recycled content. Products are offered at varying PSI ratings (2,500, 3,000, 4,000) with different pricing tiers for COD customers versus contractor accounts.

Products and services

• Standard Ready-Mixed Concrete Ready-mixed concrete products ranging from 1,500 to 5,500 PSI, mixed to project requirements to meet or exceed performance specifications for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
• High Strength Concrete Concrete at or above 6,000 PSI achieved through high cement factors, low water/cement ratios, and high-performance admixtures such as superplasticizers.
• Colored Concrete Ready-mixed concrete using integral coloring solutions to provide custom colors for residential and commercial applications, with available sample color charts.
• Lightweight Structural Concrete Structural concrete using porous coarse aggregate with in-place weight of approximately 90-115 lb/ft³ compared to normal weight concrete (140-150 lb/ft³), available in 3,000 and 4,000 PSI.
• DURACRETE Proprietary concrete mix designed by NRMCA Concrete Technologists using carbon nanotubes to deliver improvements in abrasion resistance, flexural strength, shrinkage reduction, impermeability, tensile strength, compressive strengths, and chemical/stain resistance.
• Pervious Concrete Porous concrete mixture of cement, water, and coarse aggregate with little to no sand, allowing water drainage to underlying soils at rates up to five gallons per square foot per minute; placement requires certified pervious concrete installers.
• Decorative Concrete Architectural concrete using colored concrete with trained finishers to achieve patterns resembling brick, slate, cobblestone, and flagstone.
• High Early-Strength Concrete Concrete formulations designed to achieve strength faster than standard mixes for time-sensitive construction projects.
• Watertight Concrete Concrete formulations engineered to resist water penetration for applications requiring moisture barriers.
• Flowable Fill Self-leveling concrete mixture used for backfill and filling voids where conventional concrete placement is impractical.
• Mass Concrete Large-volume concrete placements designed to manage heat generation and thermal stress during hydration.
• Self-Consolidating Concrete Highly flowable concrete that consolidates under its own weight without vibration, suitable for congested reinforcement and complex formwork.
• Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Concrete with added fibers (residential grade at $4/yd or commercial grade at $6.25/yd) to improve crack resistance and durability.
• Roller Compacted Concrete Zero-slump concrete compacted by rollers for heavy-duty pavement and industrial applications.
• Freeze-Thaw Resistant Concrete Concrete formulations engineered to withstand repeated freezing and thawing cycles for cold-climate applications.
• Underwater Concrete Specialized concrete formulations designed for placement in submerged conditions.
• EccoCrete Proprietary high-fly-ash concrete mix containing over 40% fly ash that meets or exceeds strengths of standard low-fly-ash mixes, designed for flatwork and blockfill applications with strengths over 6,000 PSI achievable.
• Concrete Delivery and Pumping Services Direct job-site delivery of ready-mixed concrete using the company's ready-mix truck fleet (8' wide, over 35' long, 60,000+ lbs loaded) across the Augusta-Aiken metro, with on-site placement coordination.
• Contractor Credit Account Program Open-account credit terms for contractors, developers, and builders, with credit applications and 1.5% per month late payment charges on unpaid balances.
