Is a pump right for you?

When you need a pump for a home project

You need a pump when the ready-mix truck can’t get its chute to the pour.

On most home projects, that’s more often than people expect.

Signs a pump will save the day

  • The pour is behind the house. Patios, pool decks, backyard slabs and additions are usually out of reach of a truck chute.
  • There’s no safe path for the truck. Driving a loaded truck over a lawn, septic area or driveway can crack or rut it.
  • The pour is below grade. Basement floors and foundation walls need concrete placed down and in, evenly.
  • It’s a big pour for wheelbarrows. Moving concrete by wheelbarrow is slow, and concrete doesn’t wait.
  • Access is tight. A narrow side yard, a fence or a gate only a hose can fit through.

Which pump

Line pump or boom pump for your home

Most home jobs use one of two pumps, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Line pumps

Line pumps push concrete through hose. The pump stays at the street and the hose runs along the side of the house, through a gate or into a basement. It’s the usual choice for patios, walkways and backyard slabs.

Boom pumps

Boom pumps reach up and over. When a house, a garage or a steep yard is in the way, the boom lifts the concrete over it, up to 131 feet (40 m).

A boom pump parked at the driveway reaches straight over the house to the same pour.STREETPATIO POURHOUSEGATELINE PUMPBOOM PUMP

Permits and your town

Many concrete projects need a construction permit from your town. In New Jersey, each town’s construction office enforces the state Uniform Construction Code; in Pennsylvania, the city or township code office handles it. Your contractor usually handles the permit. If you’re doing the project yourself, call your town’s construction office before you book the concrete.

FAQ

Residential pumping FAQ

Still have a question? Call and you'll get a straight answer.

Call (732) 238-8600
Can you pump concrete to my backyard?

Usually, yes. A line pump runs hose from the street along the side of the house or through a gate, and a boom pump can reach over the house when there’s no way around. Tell us the distance from the street and what’s in the way, and we’ll recommend a pump.

Do I need to order the concrete myself?

Yes, you or your contractor order the concrete from a ready-mix supplier, and we supply the pump and the operator. Book the concrete first, then call us with the delivery date and time so the pump arrives to match.

Will the pump damage my lawn or driveway?

The point of pumping is that the heavy trucks stay off your yard. The pump sets up at the street or on the driveway, and the concrete travels by hose or boom. Tell us about anything fragile, like a septic field or a new driveway, when you book.

Do I need a permit for a patio or driveway?

It depends on your town and the project. In New Jersey, each town’s construction office decides what needs a permit under the state Uniform Construction Code. Call your town’s construction office, or ask your contractor, before you book the concrete.

How much concrete do I need?

Measure the length, width and thickness of the pour, then use our concrete calculator to estimate the cubic yards. Your ready-mix supplier can help you confirm the order.

Do you work with homeowners or only contractors?

Both. Most of our work is for contractors, but homeowners are welcome. Call and tell us about your project.
