Why Every Landscape Supply Business Should Consider Volumetric Concrete
A volumetric concrete mixer provides landscaping supplies businesses with a direct way to turn existing materials, equipment, and customer traffic into a profitable and scalable service.
How Volumetric Concrete Strengthens Your Landscaping Supplies Business
Utilise Existing Materials
You already sell the ingredients for concrete production – sand, aggregate and cement. A volumetric mixer helps you increase your volume of material sales, whilst also transforming those materials into a high-value finished product.
A volumetric mixer combines the capabilities of a traditional batch plant and a drum mixer into one vehicle. It stores materials separately, then mixes fresh concrete on-site, in the exact amount required. This process helps you convert material stock into revenue without changing your core business model.
By offering concrete alongside your existing landscaping supplies range, you capture more value per customer visit and more revenue per tonne of materials sold.
Use Your Existing Infrastructure
Most landscaping yards already operate with the perfect setup for a volumetric mixer:
- Storage bays
- Loaders
- Hardstand space
- Traffic flow systems
- Existing raw material stockpiles
A volumetric mixer fits seamlessly into this environment. It enables you to sell concrete using the same equipment, space, and operational systems you use today. This means you grow revenue while keeping operational complexity low – a natural addition to your business.
Sell Concrete to the Customers You Already Serve
Many of your existing customers have a requirement for concrete – whether they’re building footings, pathways, retaining walls, driveways, garden edging or decorative features.
A volumetric mixer allows you to offer concrete directly to these customers, increasing spend per visit and strengthening long-term loyalty. This approach increases revenue without needing to attract an entirely new customer base. Your existing DIY customers, small builders, landscapers, and contractors benefit from a more complete service offering.
Attract New Customers By Offering a One-Stop Solution
More homeowners and trade customers prefer working with suppliers who can handle an entire project. By offering both landscaping supplies and fresh concrete, your business becomes a one-stop shop. This differentiates you from competitors and attracts customers who previously relied on traditional concrete batch plants.
Volumetric mixers also remove pain points associated with external premix providers – such as minimum loads, rigid delivery windows, and penalties for delays.
Turn Your Own Materials Into More Revenue
Every cubic metre of concrete produced uses the same materials your yard already handles – sand, aggregates and cement. A volumetric concrete mixer allows you to convert these raw materials into higher-margin concrete sales. This drives more revenue from the same stock while improving your business’s overall profitability.
This provides your business with a strong revenue stream to balance seasonal demand.
Customer Benefits That Deliver Value and Drive Repeat Business
A volumetric mixer provides real advantages that customers value:
- Zero Waste – Mix Only What’s Needed
You produce the exact volume required on-site. No over-ordering, no waste concrete disposal and no short loads.
- Total Flexibility in Timing
Concrete is mixed only when needed. This completely removes the time pressure typically associated with concrete and delivers project flexibility.
- Custom Mixes for Every Job
You can adjust the mix on the spot – ideal for decorative work, structural footings, slabs, or pathways. One load can serve multiple specifications.
- Take Control of Concrete Delivery
You can deliver concrete when it suits your customers, without having the restrictions of external timeframes or scheduling constraints.
These benefits make your business far more convenient and appealing to local customers, delivering a service that has value.
