When you guys are talking about water content in concrete than you are talking about the "slump". A descent slump is 7 but a better quality concrete is 3 to 5. You can also order 2000 pound concrete or 10,000 pound concrete. Is it harder to work with? Oh yeah. But you lay concrete in one day and use it for many many years. I've workded jobs where we were placing concrete to the tune of 60+ trucks in one shift. It's hard work and if you are not sure what you are doing all the hard work will be for not. My advice is do what you're doing. Get a couple of estimates from reputable contractors and tell them exactly what you want it for. I also advise get as much knowledge as you can so you can ask the right questions.
