Description

A reliable general purpose sand and cement mix that covers most everyday building and landscaping jobs. The 3-1 ratio of washed, well-graded sand to grey cement is pre-blended and ready to use — just add water, mix, and get on with the job. It’s the kind of product that earns its place in any project where you need a consistent, dependable mix without the hassle of measuring and combining materials yourself.

How To Use
