Traditional Sand Mix Recipe

This mix design is a high performance all around sand mix which can be used for just about any application. The weights in this recipe will produce approximately 1 cu. ft. of concrete. Keep in mind that locally sources materials are different from manufacture to manufacture and also location.  With any new mix design you should always test yourself before using on a project!  Total cost to produce this mix is $ 22.00/cu. ft. or only $ 2.75/sq. ft. at 1.5" thick.  Fishstone offers the most cost effective way to produce high performance concrete and the knowledge to back it up.
