— I have plenty of crusher run already. I was thinking about mixing the crusher run with Portland cement. I don't need it to look good and peak strength isn't really a priority. If I got even 1000 psi from the mix I would be happy. I plan to load the crusher run and cement into a mixer and mix it not brush the cement dust on top of the gravel.

 — A DIY guide on how to mix your own concrete using an electric-powered concrete mixer, from transport to mixing. Includes the right amount of ingredients and water to use.

We'll show you how to create the perfect cement mixture and also explain the reasons behind each step. We'll cover the basics, safety measures, the art of accurate measurements, and the nuances of achieving the ideal consistency. So, let's roll up our sleeves, gather our tools, and learn how to mix cement!

 — Rarely, it is appropriate to add cement mix over a gravel driveway. Many cement driveways use pea gravel under the cement to prevent the cement from cracking and breaking when the ground shifts. However, most gravel used for this purpose is specifically designed to be used under cement.

 — It's too long to cement or asphalt it. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to fix now. It would have been better to have used a self-binding gravel. These gravels contain a range of particle size from fines, through sand to gravel.

 — For soil cement the CRUSHED gravel should have poper mix of fines to larger pieces to make it as dense as possible. Add the proper amount of cement and water and mix well by some mechanical means, smooth to grade and pack it.

 — So what does this stone-crushing process look like? It begins with a rock crusher in a place where there are plenty of large rocks, such as a quarry. There are many types of crushers, but their main job is the same: Crush larger rocks into smaller pieces to be used for construction material.

 — Master mixing concrete with the right tools and these six best—and worst—practices.

 — To mix cement, start by combining 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 4 parts gravel in a large bucket or wheelbarrow. Next, make a small crater in this mixture and add half a bucket of water. Mix the cement with a shovel and add more water until it's formed a smooth paste similar to peanut butter.
