Hi again, this is my second post but a very different issue.

I need to work out how to get a delivery of concrete to my site as efficiently and cheaply as possible:

The site is a driveway which is located up a tight 30m of 3:1 access road so I don't think a truck is going to get any closer than the entrance to the road.

It's very rainy here so dry delivery is not an option, I know that I have seen concrete being pumped with a hose on large sites but I have no idea if this is viable on such a small job!

Thank you for any advice you can offer :)

A bit of info that might help.
Look in your local directory under concrete pumping or try a readymix firm some now have there own pumping wagons.
These come in a range of sizes from small to big.
Try this link, it goes to a firm I have used for concrete in the past might answer your question.
