AGGREGATE AND
READY-MIXED CONCRETE ON THE IRON RANGE

CONCRETE

Concrete can take on varying shapes, colors and specifications.

Ready-mix concrete is individually batched specific for your needs. Whether you're pouring a foundation for a home, a new driveway, sidewalk or walls... we have you covered.

Here's what you need to know.

Ready-Mix

Concrete is measured in cubic yards. We have a calculator located below if you need help. Click here to jump to it.

We utilize Master Builders Solutions admixtures to ensure you're getting the best product possible. Admixtures are added to concrete to change different properties, such as the workability, stability, and more.

We do offer options for Master Builders Solutions micro and macro fibers and colors. Depending on your color selection, it may be possible with little to no lead time.

For placement guidance and technical data sheets, see below.

We supply aggregates to home owners, local municipalities and contractors through loading materials out in the pit, as well as transporting.

Red Top Ready-Mix, owned by Taylor Dickinson was established in 2022 as a ready-mixed concrete business. Many months were spent refining our mix designs, meeting with vendors and seeking education. In July 2023, the first yards were poured from our plant.
