Atlas-Tuck Concrete is a concrete and masonry materials supplier serving Oklahoma City contractors, builders, and serious DIY projects since the 1980s. Located on the city's south side, it functions as a trade-focused distributor rather than a finished-goods retailer, stocking ready-mix concrete delivery, bagged concrete products, sand, gravel, block, brick, and specialty aggregates at wholesale rates.
Atlas-Tuck operates as a materials yard and ready-mix batch plant. It is not a showroom; customers arrive knowing what they need or with specific project requirements. The business sells primarily to contractors, landscapers, and concrete finishers, but also serves homeowners undertaking substantial jobs (patios, foundations, driveways). Ready-mix trucks deliver on-site; bagged goods are sold by the unit or pallet. The yard is open to walk-in traffic during business hours, and most customers either phone ahead for concrete orders or arrive to load materials themselves.
Ready-mix concrete pricing varies by mix design and delivery distance; standard mixes for driveways and slabs typically run $165 to $190 per cubic yard, with a minimum order of 4 yards common. A typical driveway pour (100 square feet at 4 inches thick) requires roughly 1.2 cubic yards. Bagged concrete (80-pound bags of Portland cement or premix) ranges from $5 to $7 per bag depending on type. Sand and gravel are priced by the ton; crushed limestone aggregate runs $35 to $50 per ton in bulk. Prices fluctuate with material costs and fuel; confirm current rates and delivery fees by calling ahead.
Oklahoma City has several concrete suppliers. Lehman's Building Supply, a larger multi-location chain, offers similar ready-mix and bagged products but typically at 10 to 15 percent higher per-yard pricing and with more retail markup on smaller bagged goods. Lehman's strength lies in broader inventory (lumber, drywall, electrical, plumbing) if a job requires one-stop shopping; Atlas-Tuck's advantage is pure concrete and masonry focus and lower pricing on high-volume orders. For homeowners pouring a single driveway, the price difference on a 4-yard minimum order may be $40 to $60 total. For contractors ordering multiple trucks monthly, Atlas-Tuck's cumulative savings become substantial. Builders' FirstSource locations in the metro also carry concrete but emphasize general building materials and lack on-site batch capacity.
This supplier works best for concrete contractors, masons, landscapers, and homeowners with significant projects (foundations, large patios, retaining walls). It is efficient for repeat customers with standing orders. It is poorly suited to small, single-bag purchases or to buyers needing materials outside masonry and concrete (roofing, framing lumber, finish hardware). Casual DIYers replacing a concrete step or patching a driveway often find the minimum order size or delivery fee inefficient; hardware stores and home centers become better choices for those jobs.
First-time customers should call with job specifics: square footage, thickness, concrete type (standard, air-entrained for freeze-thaw, high-strength), and delivery address. The dispatcher will quote per-yard cost, delivery fee (typically $50 to $100 depending on distance), and schedule. For bagged goods, walk in during business hours, load a truck or pallet, and pay at the office. No appointment is needed for material pickup, but ready-mix orders must be placed in advance (usually 24 to 48 hours). Payment is typically cash or check; confirm credit terms for large contractor accounts.
Atlas-Tuck is located on the south side of Oklahoma City and operates Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to noon. The yard has space for walk-in loading and vehicle queuing; most customers park alongside the material stockpiles. Concrete trucks access the site via a dedicated approach. Winter weather occasionally affects ready-mix availability; call to confirm if ordering during ice or heavy snow. No credit card processing is guaranteed; confirm payment methods before arrival.
Atlas-Tuck's wholesale model and direct-from-plant concrete delivery make it the logical choice for Oklahoma City builders and contractors managing project economics tightly. For durable, cost-effective concrete supply, it remains a working fixture in the local construction supply chain.
