Concrete Mixing Tips
- Standard concrete mix is 1:2:3 (cement:sand:gravel)
- One 60lb bag yields approximately 0.45 cubic feet of concrete
- One 80lb bag yields approximately 0.6 cubic feet of concrete
- Add water gradually until the mixture reaches a workable consistency
- Pour concrete within 30 minutes of mixing for best results
