Not exactly sure.
I live in Ankeny, so if anyone knows of a central iowa company. The patio i am looking to do is around 9 yards worth of concrete, but if a truck only holds 7 i can adjust my layout. I contacted Manatts and they don't do residential projects.

How thick are you going? 5” would be like a 24x24 slab.

Hmmm..they did this one last fall and another one just down the street.

I'd be willing to bet that's not a homeowner pouring that driveway. Manatt's probably doesn't want to deal with a random homeowner who is just going to order 9 CY of them for something. They probably only want to deal with contractors.

They deal with home owners all the time. I think I was about $130/yd just prepandemic, 10 yd trucks are the smallest they have and 1 hr at your sight including clean up or its an additional charge. Short load charge for any truck less than 7 yds.

Guy came this morning sawed in the control joints. Is it worth filling them flexible caulk or sealant?

Yes, make sure to rinse them out good otherwise the saw dust gets hard like concrete once it rains.

Took my leaf blower to after he had finished. Had to blow them out like 4x. I don’t think my neighbors appreciated the white out conditions.:oops:

It was a contractor doing the work, but they'd supply a homeowner also.
