Would RecommendUsed to pour replacement steps and landscaping curbing. Worked well.
Concrete Tabletop
Would RecommendGreat product and very easy to mix and use as a novice. Only complaint is that the gravel is inconsistent making it a harder product to do finish work with. Other than that, it fit the job I needed and turned out pretty well.
Easy to use
Would RecommendWe put in a gate and needed a easy to use concrete mix. This was easy and quickly dried. We will use it again if the time comes.
Great product
Would RecommendI bought over 30 bags of this concrete mix, worked very good.
Concrete
Would RecommendThis product does what it’s supposed to. Only gripe is that I wish they could make the bag out of stronger material.

concrete
Would Recommendworked as described, just get someone young to help you lift them!
Good Value - High Strength
Would RecommendI bought this to add onto the end of a wheelchair ramp so that wheelchairs/scooters could go out to the road. The roadside edge where I put this is actually a depressed rain/drain and due to our mailbox location, the mail truck has to drive over it every day. I poured " of this concrete there and it's working like a charm.
sakrete 60 lbs.
Would RecommendConcrete works fine but I have one complaint. Getting along in years, I find it increasingly difficult to lift a 60 lb. bag of cement, much your 80 lb. sack. You used to offer a 40 pounder that I could easily handle. Hope you bring it back for us over the hill guys. Otherwise it works well and does the job. Tks.
not for counters
Would Not RecommendUsed this mix to pour a countertop. Too much aggregate for countertops.
Concrete counters
Would RecommendThis product is fantastic. We used it for our countertops. Easily mixes and pours. Some variability bag to bag. Make sure to vibrate edges well to avoid pitting and air holes. Overall we are extremely happy with our results!!!
95% rocks
Would Not RecommendThis "mix" is almost conpletely rocks. It would be impossible to use this for a countertop or any other application where the surface must be smooth.

Sakrete 5000 Plus Concrete
Would RecommendQuality concrete
Options are good!
Would RecommendGood that you have options when looking for cementitious products. Get the product that fits the job! But other than that... It's heavy, It gets hard if you add water... Not a lot else to say about concrete!
Nice concrete mix
Would RecommendDefinitely worth the extra money. Nice and rich, easy to work, finishes well.
Countertop Mix
Would RecommendThis is the recommended concrete mix for Cheng concrete countertops. Its been my experience to use the maximum amount of water that Cheng specifies. If you pour too dry you will get way too many pin holes.
