Pump companies place concrete; they normally do not sell it. You (or your contractor) still order ready-mix from a plant and tell them it will be pumped. The two main choices are a line/trailer pump — hose laid on the ground, best for backyards and smaller pours — and a boom pump, a truck with a folding arm for big, high or hard-to-reach pours. Valley heat matters: most pours start early in the morning.

Truck-mounted boom that places concrete over houses, walls and long distances — the fastest option for bigger pours.

Frequently asked questions
Are you a concrete pumping company?
No. Border Quotes is an independent referral and matching service. We don't own pumps or employ crews. We pass your request to up to 3 independent companies that serve your area; they quote and do the work, and you deal with them directly.
Is the service free?
Yes, free for people requesting quotes. Participating companies may pay us a referral or advertising fee.
Do I need a boom pump or a line pump?
A line/trailer pump is usually enough for residential patios, driveways and small slabs. A boom pump is better for large pours, elevated decks, or when the pour is over a house or wall. Describe the job and the pump company will recommend one.
Does the pump price include the concrete?
No. Pump companies place the concrete. The ready-mix is ordered separately from a concrete plant — tell them it will be pumped so they send a pumpable mix.
What is a pump mix?
A mix designed to flow through the hose, typically with smaller rock (often 3/4" or less) and a wetter slump than a standard truck pour. Your pump company or plant will tell you their requirements.
What do I need on site?
A clear path for the hose, a spot for the pump near the street, access to water, and a designated washout area. Keep the ready-mix trucks spaced so loaded mixers don't wait in the heat.
How much notice do pump companies need?
As much as possible. Spring and summer fill up; booking a week or more ahead is common, though some companies can fit short-notice pours.
Which cities do you cover?
McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr, Mission, Weslaco, Harlingen, Brownsville and nearby Rio Grande Valley communities.
Can I talk to someone in Spanish?
Yes. Many Valley crews speak Spanish, and you can send your request in Spanish.
How do I know a company is legitimate?
Ask each company for proof of liability insurance, how they bill (minimum hours, per-yard, travel), and their washout and cancellation rules before booking.
