BARD CUSTOMER RESOURCES
Concrete is not created equal. Neither is the partner behind it.
Since 1946, BARD Materials has delivered ready-mix concrete and aggregates across Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois — transforming materials responsibly to build better lives, communities, and country. These answers are built the BARDWAY: clear, accountable, and focused on your success.
BARD Materials
BARD Materials is a leading ready-mix concrete and aggregates supplier serving the tri-state region since 1946. With over 20 ready-mix plants and 50-plus aggregate sources, we deliver material value with integrity — keeping our Focus on the Customer for every pour and every load.
Ready-mix concrete designed for performance and the job you need done. Aggregates — crushed stone, sand and gravel, and certified recycled materials. BARDPRO products. And Material Now, so you can see the work moving in real time.
Ordering and Delivery
Call the dispatch center for your region. Share the product, quantity, jobsite, and timing. Or use our Material Now app — once approved, you can request and adjust concrete orders without the phone tag.
Place orders by 3:00 pm the previous day whenever you can. That discipline lets plants, trucks, and crews protect your schedule. Specialty and same-day requests are possible — confirm with dispatch.
Regular: Monday–Friday 6:30 am–5:00 pm
Winter (Dec 15–Mar 15): Monday–Friday 7:00 am–4:30 pm
Delivery: Monday–Friday 7:00 am–4:00 pm
Saturday hours follow demand. Always verify with dispatch for your plant.
If your project sits in our Iowa, Wisconsin, or Illinois footprint, call dispatch with the address. Coverage follows plant proximity, product, and schedule — we will tell you straight whether we can serve that job.
Every pour is different. If you have questions about possible pricing impacts, please ask one of our Dispatch team members when placing your order. They will walk you through what you can expect to ensure transparency and no surprises.
COD, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Net Terms on approved credit. Credit applications go to [email protected] or fax 563-875-7860.
Ready-Mix Concrete
Mixes engineered for strength, permeability, flowability, density, and color — including ready-mix, pervious, high-strength, flowable fill, and BARDPRO performance products. Bring the spec. We will match the design.
Because water, mix design, timing, and craft all change the outcome. Quality is never an accident. We commit to it in every process — including measuring the water most producers still leave to chance.
No Unmetered Water (N.U.W.) is BARD's mandate that every gallon in every cubic yard is measured, recorded, and accounted for — from batching through transit and the jobsite. Unknown water is a liability. We refuse it.
Water activates cement and sets workability. Too much raises the water-cementitious ratio, opens porosity, and can cost you strength and durability. Measured water protects the mix you ordered — and the structure you are building.
Aggregates
Crushed stone, sand and gravel, and certified recycled materials from 30-plus aggregate locations — produced with portable crushing plants and computerized portable sand plants. Aggregates are not an afterthought at BARD. They are core to how we build.
Yes. Certified recycled materials give you an economical, responsible base where the job calls for it. Ask sales or dispatch what is available near your site.
Yes — and many contractors do. One accountable supplier. Coordinated schedules. One BARD owning the outcome with you.

Giving Back
Purpose trucks — Engine One and Engine Two, The BARDIAN, and the Milk Truck — donate $1 from every yard poured to support volunteer firefighters, veterans, and future farmers. Transforming materials responsibly includes the communities we serve.
Start on our Giving Back and firefighter support pages, review the program, and submit the application. Built for the people who show up for our towns.
