Our take on the CONCRETE 40# MIX

Concrete 40# Mix is a bagged, ready-to-mix concrete for general repair and construction work. It is meant for pours at least 2 inches thick: sidewalks, footings, slabs, steps, and setting posts and poles. It is a basic mix, so it competes on convenience rather than strength or fast setting. Buyers who need higher early strength or a fast-setting patch should look at those mixes instead.
