J.D. Bush came to Albany and started AAA Concrete Products in 1949. His partners were L.T. Shefield, Woodrow Beech and Paul Beech. The original intent of AAA's founders was to go into the manufacture of masonary block; however, a competitor who was also in the ready mix concrete business told local contractors that if they purchased block from AAA, they could no longer purchase concrete from them. This forced AAA into the ready mix business.

By 1960, Mr. Bush had aquired the interest of his other partners in AAA and by doing so became sole owner of the company. His son, J. Dell Bush, became the President of AAA in 1963 after his graduation from the University of Alabama. He retained that position until January 1, 2001 when he became Chairman of the Board and CEO. At that time, Don Barfield became President.

Don Barfield came to AAA from Master Builders where he worked as a sales representative for the admixture company. Mr. Barfield has been active with Georgia Onsite Wastewater Association (GOWA) since shortly after it's conception and served as President of GOWA in 2005. He also works on state panels entrusted to ensure compliance by onsite contractors, pumpers and septic tank manufacturers in Georgia.
In 2003, AAA Concrete purchased Roto Rooter Sewer and Drain Service from Basil Catrett. Mr. Catrett had owned and operated Roto Rooter since 1991 and stayed on with AAA as Vice President of the Roto Rooter division. Prior to the purchase, Roto Rooter was primarily a drain cleaning company specializing in cleaning lines, pump work and jet work. Since the purchase, Roto Rooter has expanded it's vision to include new construction plumbing, service plumbing and onsite sanitation rentals.
