What type of cement should I use for small jobs?
For small jobs like setting fence posts, repairing concrete paths, or laying pavers, general-purpose cement or pre-mixed concrete is ideal. Pre-mix bags are especially convenient—they contain a blend of cement, sand, and gravel, and only require water to activate. These are perfect for quick fixes or DIY tasks around the home. For larger pours or structural work, you may need to mix your own with specific ratios of aggregate and sand depending on load requirements. Always check the curing time and recommended use on the product label.
What is the difference between gravel and crushed rock?
Gravel is typically rounded, naturally occurring rock, often found in riverbeds. It’s smoother and used in areas where drainage or aesthetics are important, like garden paths or driveways. Crushed rock (often referred to as road base or crusher dust) is mechanically broken stone with angular edges. It compacts more tightly than gravel and is commonly used beneath concrete slabs, pavers, or in structural fill. The sharp edges of crushed rock lock together, making it ideal for stable foundations.
What’s the difference between construction sand and landscaping sand?
Construction sand (such as concrete or bricklayers’ sand) is engineered for strength and bonding, making it ideal for mortar, render, and concrete applications. It typically has a coarse, consistent texture and low organic content. Landscaping sand, like river or beach sand, may be finer and more decorative—great for garden beds, play areas, or under pavers. However, it may lack the compaction and bonding properties required for structural work. Always match the sand type to the job to avoid drainage or stability issues.
