Concrete is widely used in gardens and landscaping projects because it provides a strong, durable surface that can withstand weather, foot traffic, and outdoor use. From patios and garden paths to shed bases and outdoor structures, the right concrete mix ensures your garden project remains stable and long lasting.
At Sussex Ready Mix Concrete, we supply high quality concrete mixes for garden construction and landscaping projects across Sussex. Our volumetric mixers allow concrete to be mixed fresh on site, giving you the exact quantity required with consistent mix quality for reliable results.
Concrete is used for many different garden and landscaping features, including:
Garden patios and seating areas
Concrete garden paths and walkways
Shed bases and outbuilding foundations
Garden room or summer house bases
Retaining walls and landscaping structures
Concrete bases for outdoor kitchens or hot tubs
Using the correct mix ensures these structures remain stable, level, and durable for years.
Garden projects usually require concrete mixes designed for light to moderate loads. A commonly used mix for garden paths and patios is C20 concrete, which provides a good balance of strength and workability for outdoor surfaces.
In some cases, slightly stronger mixes may be recommended depending on the application. For example, shed bases or areas supporting heavier structures may use stronger mixes such as C25 concrete to provide additional durability.
Our team can help you choose the most suitable concrete mix based on the type of garden project you are building.
Proper ground preparation is essential to ensure a long lasting concrete surface. Before pouring concrete, the area should typically be:
Cleared of grass, debris, and topsoil
Excavated to the correct depth
Compacted to create a stable base
Filled with a gravel or crushed stone sub base for drainage
A compacted sub base helps prevent movement or cracking and provides a stable platform for the concrete slab.
Once the base is prepared, the concrete can be poured, levelled, and finished to create a durable outdoor surface.
Using volumetric concrete mixers allows us to mix concrete directly at your property.
