Frequently Asked Questions

How many 80 lb bags do I need to order for my slab? Each bag yields roughly 0.60 cubic feet. Calculate your total volume by multiplying your project’s length, width, and depth (in feet), then divide by 0.60. Stop by our yard at 1500 South County Trail or call our team for assistance calculating exact quantities from your blueprints.

What is the minimum thickness required for pouring? This mix is engineered specifically for applications and repairs that are at least 2 inches thick to ensure structural stability and prevent premature cracking.

How soon can I drive vehicles over the new concrete? Allow a minimum of 24 hours before subjecting the surface to light foot traffic, and wait a full 72 hours before allowing vehicle traffic or heavy loads.

How does this mix handle New England freeze-thaw cycles? When properly mixed, placed, and cured, the dense pre-blended formulation resists moisture penetration, helping to prevent frost-heaving and winter surface spalling.
