Concrete is a versatile and durable material which is ideal for many jobs
around the house and garden. It can be used in a variety of interesting and imaginative
ways and requires little maintenance.
Concrete is made by mixing stone and sand with cement and water in
carefully selected proportions and allowing the compacted material to set and harden. As
setting and hardening are chemical processes, it is important that concrete is prevented
from rapidly drying out after placing otherwise strength development and surface
durability may be impaired.
