skeg0 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Please excuse the noob question! Concreting and wall building is the next skill to learn in our house build process… I have half a bag of this (see attached image - paver for reference) left over from a house build. I am needing to build a small retaining wall to bring up ground levels by a small amount and wanted to know whether the bag of what is in the picture is of ‘mixed aggregate’? And therefore suitable for mixing with cement to create my wall footing. I will need a depth of 300mm, width 450mm length 6m. If it is suitable, then I shall use it but assume it won’t be enough for the above trench so will need to order some more. I think a 6:1 ratio is standard practice for this of aggregate to c20 cement? Thanks so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 yes will be fine, you need to order ballast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeg0 Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Does that mean what I have above is ballast? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
