DO I NEED TO ADD CEMENT?
Yes, you need to add cement to a concrete mix. Cement is a key ingredient, acting as the binding agent that holds all the other components together. Without cement, you would essentially just have a mixture of sand and aggregates (like gravel), which would not harden into concrete. 
 
Dry Concrete Mix is a staple material in both DIY and professional construction across Perth, Western Australia.
 
What is Concrete Mix (Dry) ?
Concrete Mix is a pre-blended mixture of the dry ingredients needed to make concrete.
You simply add water, cement, mix thoroughly, and pour — making it convenient for small to medium jobs.
 
It comes in:
Bags (e.g. 20 kg or 40 kg) — great for small projects
Bulk delivery for larger pours
 
What is Concrete Mix Made From?
Typical ingredients in bagged or bulk concrete mix:
Sand → provides bulk and workability
Aggregate (gravel or crushed stone) → adds strength and reduces shrinkage
Sometimes additives for:
Faster setting
Better workability
Reduced cracking
 
The usual ratio in a general-purpose concrete mix is roughly:
1 part cement
2 parts sand
3 parts aggregate
Bagged mixes are carefully proportioned, removing guesswork for DIYers.
 
What is Concrete Mix Ideal For in Perth, WA?

✅ Footpaths and small slabs → e.g. garden sheds, patios, tank pads

📏 Recommended Thickness for Concrete Surfaces
Footpaths and pedestrian areas:
🔹 75–100 mm (3–4 inches) thick
Driveways (light vehicle use):
🔹 100–125 mm (4–5 inches) minimum
Shed slabs:
🔹 100 mm (4 inches) usually sufficient for light structures
Fence or post footings:
🔹 Varies, but typically 200–600 mm deep depending on load and soil
Always pour over a compacted base, and add reinforcement mesh for slabs under heavy load.
 
How to Maintain Concrete Surfaces
Cure properly — keep moist for at least 7 days after pouring to avoid cracking.
Seal concrete every few years if exposed to weather to:
Prevent staining
Reduce water penetration
Clean regularly — sweep dirt, and hose off spills promptly.
Inspect for cracks and repair small ones with concrete patch products.
Avoid heavy loads too soon — wait at least 7 days for light use and 28 days for full strength.
 
Key Benefits of Concrete Mix in Perth:
✅ Strong, durable, and long-lasting
✅ Handles Perth’s extreme heat well
✅ Affordable for small or large projects
✅ Easy to use for DIYers with bagged mixes
