Mixing concrete from scratch using Portland cement, sand, and gravel? Select a standard mix ratio below to view verified batching recipes per cubic yard, 28-day compressive strengths (PSI / MPa), water-cement ratios, and on-site bucket batching instructions.
Residential vehicle driveways and heavy garage floor slabs and structural footings, retaining wall foundations, and column piers.
General purpose residential flatwork: pedestrian walkways and garden paths and storage shed concrete bases and light trash enclosure pads.
Load-bearing structural columns, beams, and lintels and heavy-duty commercial foundations, crane pads, and industrial slabs.
Residential basement foundation walls and stem walls and mass concrete gravity retaining walls.
Non-structural blinding layers and sub-slab mud slabs and utility trench backfilling and pipe encasement.
Use our interactive Concrete Mix Calculator to specify custom cement-to-aggregate proportions, adjust target compressive strengths, and calculate exact weights for any batch volume in cubic yards or cubic meters.
