The u-cart equipment is in great condition, the mix is a nice quality and they're super easy to get along with. And if you do a good job cleaning out the drum it makes it easier for the next guy to clean out as well. Washing fresh concrete off any caked-on cured concrete on the fins is a project.

I am one of the owners of California Landscape Supply and working with these guys is seamless. They are committed to customer service and have a great staff. Jay always gets my parts out quickly. And the day after Thanksgiving Scotty, the manager, took all of my phone calls and helped walk me through diagnosing a problem with my batch plant on his personal time! Can't speak highly enough about them!
