Absolute Concreteworks

As a consumer of raw materials Absolute ConcreteWorks (ACW) is steadfast in our commitment to our community and our planet. ACW endeavors to utilize products and materials that do not harm our environment. It is our practice to choose sustainable forest products and reclaimed or recycled products whenever practicable and our mix includes flyash.

Concrete is a warm, natural looking material. It is as durable as the roads you drive on. Concrete is wonderfully versatile, it can be treated to look as seasoned as the Greek ruins or as contemporary as the recently completed Disney Hall (Los Angeles) or Safeco Field in our home state of Washington.
