Ready-Mix Concrete
Batched at New Town, on the same site as the pit and the crusher, and placed inside the window.
Overview
Why buy it here
Concrete has roughly a 90-minute window between batching and placement, so it is always bought locally. That part is not an advantage, because Knife River batches in New Town too.
So this page does not argue distance. We run the pit, the crusher and the batch plant on one site, which means the aggregate in the mix does not arrive on somebody else's truck, and it means one yard can cover the material, the pour and the haul-off on the same job.
The rest of the case is below, and all of it is checkable.
The case
Four things you can check
Not one of these is a claim about how far away anybody is.
01
You can actually reach us
A current listing, a published spec for every product, real answers on the site and a person who picks up. Getting hold of a supplier here is harder than it should be, and that is a low bar we intend to clear.
02
Locally owned, and licensed here
A licensed contractor with the MHA Nation, producing on the reservation, against a publicly traded national.
03
The order a big plant schedules around
Small and mid-size pours are the work, not the interruption. That is a difference in how the plant is run, not a slogan.
04
One supplier for the whole job
Topsoil, aggregate, demolition, haul-off and concrete disposal from the same yard. The incumbent does not offer that, and will not take your torn-out slab.
Applications

Delivery
Radius and minimums
Concrete is bought by drive time, not by distance. The yard hours matter here more than they do on a load of gravel, because a pour is scheduled against them rather than called in on the morning.
Yard hours
- Monday - Friday
- 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
- Saturday
- 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
- Sunday
- Closed
Concrete has a placement window of roughly ninety minutes, so a pour is scheduled against the hours above rather than called in on the morning of.
