Mix together durable concrete using the trusted 1:2:3 ratio
While concrete is durable and strong, it can succumb to weather and use, becoming pitted and cracked. To restore the appeal of the sidewalk and eliminate the danger of the uneven material, you can easily mix together concrete in the proper ratio for an easy sidewalk repair. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Measure one shovelful of Portland cement, two shovelfuls of sand and three shovelfuls of gravel.
2. Pour the three materials into the wheelbarrow.
3. Stir the materials in the wheelbarrow together to incorporate for a uniform texture.
4. Add a small amount of tapwater to the material and incorporate it using the shovel. Continue adding small amounts of water and mixing with the shovel until the texture of the concrete is like that of peanut butter. It should not be runny.
5. Thoroughly stir the concrete until the consistency is uniform. This concrete mix can now be used to repair your sidewalk.
