Concrete ballast is a key component in the production of a strong, stable concrete, in addition to water and cement. A mix of gravel, small pebbles and coarse sand, concrete ballast is the primary ingredient in concrete but the ratio of ingredients depends on how you intend to use the product. A one part cement, six parts pre-mixed ballast mix would be suited to laying a sub-base for a patio or driveway, but if you’re preparing footings for a small building it would be necessary to increase the amount of ballast to eight parts.
Our bulk bags of pre-mixed ballast for concrete just require the addition of water, cement and any other admixture required to enhance the concrete for your chosen application. Pre-mixed concrete ballast is a convenient solution because you don’t need to source pebbles, gravel and sharp sand separately.
