A trailer pump pushes concrete through hose and steel line into backyards, through gates and under patios.

A line pump (also called a trailer pump or ground pump) sits near the street and pushes concrete through a hose that the crew lays to the pour. It is the workhorse for residential flatwork: backyard patios, pool decks, slabs behind fences, room additions and footings where a ready-mix truck cannot drive in.
Line pumps need a pump mix — typically smaller rock (3/4" or less) and a wetter slump — so tell your ready-mix supplier that the load will be pumped. Long hose runs may also need grout to prime the line.
Good fit for
- Backyard patios and pool decks
- Driveways and sidewalks behind gates
- Room additions and garage slabs
- Footings, grade beams and small foundations
- Block wall grout fill
