TOP 5 Mistakes When Mixing Concrete — and How to Avoid Them

Concrete isn’t just “mix and pour.” Every little detail matters. And mistakes at this stage can be costly — cracks, sinking, weak strength. Let’s break down the most common screw-ups:

1️⃣ Wrong proportions
Eyeballing it? Expect weak concrete. Everything must be precise: cement, sand, gravel, water — follow the recipe.

2️⃣ Too much water
Sure, it mixes easier. But later? Shrinkage, dusting, cracks. The thinner the mix, the weaker the result.

3️⃣ Poor mixing
If the mix isn’t uniform — get ready for weak spots and voids. Mix until smooth and consistent.

4️⃣ Dirty materials
Sand with clay, gravel with debris — say goodbye to strength. Clean materials are a must.

5️⃣ Ignoring temperature
Cold or heat? It all matters. In freezing weather, concrete won’t set. In hot weather, it dries too fast. Use the right additives and techniques for the season.
