Re: $69,300,000 9.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2015

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Michigan counsel to Kurtz Gravel Company, a Michigan corporation (the “Michigan Subsidiary Guarantor”), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Concrete, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“U.S. Concrete”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), filed by U.S. Concrete (File No. 333-186493) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Registration Statement relates to (i) up to $69,300,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the “Exchange Notes”) of U.S. Concrete to be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “NewIndenture”) to be entered into by and among U.S. Concrete, as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors named therein, including the Michigan Subsidiary Guarantor (such Michigan Subsidiary Guarantor, together with the other subsidiary guarantors, the “Guarantors”), and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), as trustee, pursuant to the exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) described in the Registration Statement, and (ii) the related guarantees of the Guarantors of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the New Indenture (the “New Guarantees”). U.S. Concrete has previously issued $55,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Convertible Secured Notes due 2015 under the Indenture, dated August 31, 2010, by and among U.S. Concrete, as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors named therein, included the Michigan Subsidiary Guarantor, and the Trustee, as trustee, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 30, 2012, by and among Bode Gravel Co. and Bode Concrete LLC, as new guarantors, and the Trustee, as trustee (as so amended, the “Old Convertible Indenture” and the “Outstanding Notes”).  If any of the Outstanding Notes are not exchanged for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, the remaining Outstanding Notes and the Old Convertible Indenture will be amended by the Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to be entered into by and among U.S. Concrete, as issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, as trustee (as so amended, the “Amended Convertible Securities” and the “Amended Convertible Indenture”). The Registration Statement also relates to (i) the Amended Convertible Securities, if any, and (ii) the related guarantees of the Guarantors of the Amended Convertible Securities pursuant to the Amended Convertible Indenture (the “Amended Convertible Guarantees”).

This opinion letter is being delivered at the request of the Michigan Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”).
