Ready-Mix Concrete
Advance Ready Mix provides high-quality ready-mix concrete for commercial and residential projects. Our state-of-the-art batching plants produce consistent mixes that meet strict quality standards. With six strategically located facilities and over 50 front-discharge trucks, we ensure timely delivery to any job site in Louisville and Southern Indiana. Our technical expertise supports complex projects requiring specialized formulations.
Decorative Concrete
Our decorative concrete solutions transform ordinary surfaces into visually striking elements. We offer integral color systems, acid stains, and decorative sealers that create durable, aesthetically pleasing finishes. The in-house color matching system accommodates custom requirements while maintaining consistent results across large projects. This service supports both residential and commercial applications seeking enhanced visual appeal.
Insulating Concrete Forms
Advance Ready Mix supplies concrete for insulating concrete form (ICF) construction systems that combine structural integrity with energy efficiency. Our mixes optimize performance in ICF walls, delivering superior thermal performance and durability. This construction method accelerates project timelines while maintaining compliance with modern energy codes and sustainability standards for residential and commercial buildings.
Fiber Reinforcement
Our fiber-reinforced concrete solutions provide enhanced crack resistance without traditional rebar or wire mesh. We offer micro, macro, and steel fiber options that distribute evenly throughout concrete mixes. This technology improves construction efficiency while maintaining structural integrity, particularly beneficial for industrial floors, pavements, and other applications requiring enhanced durability.
Crushed Concrete Fill
Advance Ready Mix provides recycled crushed concrete as a cost-effective fill material for construction projects. This sustainable solution repurposes concrete waste into functional base material for driveways, foundations, and site preparation. The product offers environmental benefits through material reuse while maintaining the performance characteristics required for proper site grading and support.

The concrete truck driver was very helpful with the pour and the sales people were helpful as well. They delivered on time and took good care of us. We will use them again.

Report
We had issues with the amount delivered which goes back to what the Advance sales people told us to order for our square footage. I highly recommend you figure out how much concrete you need by yourself and then order. Also, there is no one available to talk to about issues on a Saturday. I wish I'd known that because I would not have done the job on a Saturday. Afterward, working with customer service was no easy job.they didn't call me back for a month so I had to go in person to get someone to address me. Once they did they were polite and took it seriously and worked with us. The concrete is good concrete and the delivery person did come on time to the job and was very friendly and nice.

Would have given 5 stars but they shorted me on concrete. We measured and measured again but was.44 cubic foot short. I bought 4 yards of concrete but got 3 yards! No help when I called back. Now I have to finish the job by hand. Shady is all I have to say, even the driver said 3 yards when talking to me. Shame shame shame. I feel like they do that just so you have to buy more. Never use them again!
