Concrete Mixes

Posted by Gary RK on February 13, 2012 at 3:34pm in Landscaping

I was part of a discussion recently regarding concrete mixes (right mix for right job) and the self mix Vs kerb mix Vs ready mix argument. Everyone has different needs/quantities and ways of working so it was interesting to observe the different answers.

As I'm about to do some 'self' inflicted landscaping at home, I was tracking down local supplies and prices and came across this useful webpage (to me, anyway) defining the main concrete mixes.

So, listed here for information purposes (click & scroll down):

    THats handy thanks, would be a help when ordering ready mix. Pity it doesn't have the ratios and what additives are used.

    I'm sure Tony McCormack the owner of  Paving Expert would indeed laugh at being called a yank, I will tell him to have a look at this thread :)

    the paving expert website is indeed the best there is for information regarding all aspects of groundwork and paving as Tony McCormack is a very knowledgeable person

    paving expert taught me everything I know about hard landscaping! Thanks Tony.

  • Ian Olpin February 17, 2012 at 6:23pm

    Believe A.J McCormack was his dad's name.

    While we're all kissing butt, Tony's book; 'Driveways, Paths and Patios' is a real gem, I refer to it often.

    Yes, Paving Expert for me too !
