What Customers Are Saying

The Maximizer 5000 PSI concrete mix has received mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to use and mix, with a lightweight and workable consistency, and reported good results for smaller projects. However, some were dissatisfied, complaining of too many stones and poor performance, especially for larger slab work. The product appears to be more expensive than regular concrete mixes, with some customers feeling the higher cost was justified by the improved coverage and strength, while others felt it was not worth the extra expense.

Slabs for planter boxes

Would Recommend

First time using Maximizer. Mixes easier than regular Sacrete, finishes the same. A little more expensive but goes a little further so almost a wash.

Changed formula. More stones, less cement.

Would Not Recommend

They apparently changed the formula. It's not what it used to be. The bricks I used to make are crumbling with the new formula. Less cement and more stones.

80 lb concrete mix

Would Not Recommend

60% large rock 🪨 30% sand 10% cement. only good for stable the pole. it may cracks if applied less than 2 inches due to more rock less cement. never use this product for any mold. it may gets stuck or damage the mold from massive rocks.

Nothing but Aggregate

Would Not Recommend

Terrible to work with. I bought 2 bags for a small project. The bags contained mostly aggregate. Ended up trashing the project and started over with another brand.

Totally Dissatisfied

Would Not Recommend

Will never use again. I tried this product because it is lighter and goes farther for less $. I tried it on a small project and I'm glad that I did. It is way more work than it's worth to save a couple bucks. I've had far better results with the cheapest post whole. You better try on bag first :(
