Landscapers and hardscapers already work around concrete. Why not make it a more convenient part of the business?

Patios, walkways, footings, curbs, pads, and other concrete work can all be part of a landscape or hardscape project. Having access to portable concrete equipment can help you take greater control of those jobs instead of always scheduling around outside concrete suppliers.

See how concrete could fit into the services you already provide.

Construction slowed. Our concrete business grew 24%.

That may sound counterintuitive, but small concrete jobs don’t disappear when construction slows. Contractors still pour patios, footings, sidewalks, fence posts, repairs and additions.

What changes is how carefully they spend.

When margins tighten, contractors become less willing to pay ready-mix minimums, buy concrete they don’t need or use valuable crew time mixing bags. They need the right amount of concrete at a price that keeps the job profitable.

That can create an opportunity for local short-load concrete providers—especially businesses that already have a yard, employees, equipment and relationships with contractors.

Our new article explains:

• Why short-load demand can remain strong during a slowdown
• Three ways to enter the market
• The assumptions behind our revenue models
• How to evaluate demand in your area
• The costs and risks to consider before investing

Put Your 2026 Tax Savings to Work

Already planning to expand your concrete operation, replace aging equipment, or increase production capacity? Section 179 could make 2026 a valuable year to invest.

Qualifying businesses may be able to deduct the cost of eligible equipment in the year it is placed in service—including potential investments in CMK and CMT mixer trailers, CBL2 automated loading systems, and larger concrete production equipment.

The key is planning early. Equipment generally needs to be placed in service during 2026, not simply ordered before the end of the year.

Read our new 2026 Section 179 Guide for Concrete Equipment to see how the deduction works, example equipment scenarios, financing considerations, and what to discuss with your tax professional.

When you’re comparing concrete mixers, the purchase price is only one part of the decision.

Where was the equipment fabricated? What work happens after it arrives in the U.S.? Are the axles, brakes, tires, wheels, hitch, and frame properly rated? And when you need parts or service, who will actually be there to help?

Our latest blog, “Know What You’re Buying: 7 Questions Every Concrete Mixer Buyer Should Ask,” gives buyers a practical checklist for looking beyond the price tag and understanding exactly what they’re purchasing.

Before you invest, know the right questions to ask.
