Everything we sell is made at one yard at Glenaree, outside Rathangan, from sand and gravel dug on the same site.
Batched to order at our two plants at Glenaree and delivered in Flanagan mixer trucks.
Tell us the strength class, how much you need, where the site is and when. If your engineer has issued a mix design or specification, send it with your request. Not sure what you need? Describe the job and we'll talk it through.
Made in our own block yard at Glenaree, from aggregate washed and screened on the same site.
Ring the yard for current stock, sizes and prices, or add blocks to a quote request and we'll come back to you.

Our pit at Glenaree is where everything we make starts.
Material is washed, crushed and screened on site before it goes into our concrete and blocks. If you need sand or gravel on its own, ring the yard and ask what's available.

It's best not to. Adding water on site raises the water/cement ratio and lowers the strength of the concrete you've paid for. If a mix is too stiff for how you're placing it, ring the yard before the next load rather than reaching for the hose.
