53 Years and Counting…
Since 1971
The Davis Family began in the mid-1960s, cleaning out chicken houses and doing small grading and asphalt paving projects. In 1971, Wayne and Joyce Davis opened the first ready-mix plant in Tallapoosa, Georgia, which we still have in operation to this day. The Company has grown steadily over the past 50 years, and it is still managed using the same family business philosophy that the business was founded on. It is the leading privately held, family-operated ready-mix concrete supplier in North West Georgia.
Today, Wayne Davis Concrete operates 19 ready-mix plants, 150+ ready-mix trucks, and employs approximately 350 people. We are proud of our success and look forward to continued growth and expansion.

Our History
Wayne Davis Concrete Co. was founded in 1971 by Wayne and Joyce Davis in Tallapoosa, Haralson County, Georgia, on the same site where it currently operates. The operation has grown steadily over the past several years but is still managed using the same family business philosophy that has created 50+ successful years in business. In 1978, with the purchase of a Carrollton location and business growth, the operation was incorporated as a Georgia Corporation. In 1980, we purchased a small plant in Bremen, Haralson County, Georgia, which was later absorbed into the other plants. In 1987, we purchased an existing operation in Villa Rica, Carroll County, Georgia. This made the Company’s third location.
In the spring of 1989, Wayne Davis passed away, leaving his wife and children to operate the business. Our family is still currently involved in the daily operation of the Company. Chris Davis is the CEO, Wade Davis is the Vice President of Quality Assurance, and Todd Davis manages Operations. Richard Davis, her nephew, is the President.
In April 1990, the Company opened its fourth plant in Hiram, Paulding County, Georgia. In 1993, the Company renovated and installed a new batch plant in Tallapoosa built a new corporate office building in Tallapoosa and built a new ready-mix plant in Rockmart, Polk County, Georgia. The year was packed with growth and hard work as we prepared to meet the concrete needs of the West Georgia area.
During the next several years, the Company worked hard to manage the internal growth and continue to provide the highest quality of customer service and products, which made us successful. In November 1997, we acquired an existing operation in Douglasville, Douglas County, Georgia, which brought us to six plants. In 1999, we relocated the plant to a new location inside the Lafarge Aggregate Quarry in Douglasville and installed a new ready-mix batch plant.
In January 1998, we purchased another concrete operation with plants in Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia, and New Georgia, Paulding County, Georgia. Due to its age and location, we closed the Cedartown plant and renovated the New Georgia plant to meet the needs of our customers in that area of Paulding County.
Today, all of our plants are computerized, from batching and dispatching to billing customers over our wide area computer network. We are the largest family-owned ready-mix producer based in the West Georgia area. We also market other concrete-related products and services to our customers through our outside sales force. We can supply our customers with crushed stone, sand, block, and related masonry products for their job sites and construction projects.
Today, we operate 19 ready-mix plants and a fleet of ready-mix trucks, and we employ well-trained personnel to service your needs.
We are proud of our success and look forward to continuing growth and expansion.
