Barrow concrete from truck to front house path, slight slope down

$250

Happy Valley, South Australia

29th Apr 2026

Concreting path just to front of house, need someone fit who can barrow concrete & do some initial leveling in form & I will do final finishing. Hopefully truck can back down to within a couple of meters or be able to chute some straight in, but need a back up incase. They quote only delivering to kerb & is up to driver on the day. Hoping truck can at least back up to where car is or further. Its less than 1 cubic meter 13 linear meters x 800 wide. Ideally all concrete is barrowed in half hour or have to pay penalty for truck, so very busy half hour. Ill ask for 3 hours of your time & if its longer I will pay you more. Due to rain coming next week, seeing if I can get this done tomorrow or possibly Monday morning depending on weather? Friday 1st May or Monday?. Bonus if you have some concrete experience
