Sakrete products are the industry standard for bagged concrete, mortar, and repair materials. Since 1936, Sakrete has provided pre-blended mixtures that eliminate the guesswork of measuring raw sand and cement. These products are engineered for specific applications, ranging from structural footings for a 4-ft fence post to thin-set repairs for a 1/2-in crack in a driveway. When you visit
Arlington Coal and Lumber, you are getting professional-grade materials designed for durability in the demanding New England climate.
What are the types of Sakrete Concrete Products? At our
local lumber store, we stock a variety of Sakrete mixes tailored for different project requirements. Understanding the difference helps ensure a long-lasting result:
- High-strength concrete mixes: Ideal for structural projects like slabs, steps, and foundations where a thickness of 2-in or more is required.
- Fast-setting concrete: Best for setting poles or making quick repairs where you need the material to harden in under 30 minutes.
- Mortar and veneer stone mixes: Specifically formulated for masonry work, including laying Blocks and Bricks or stone veneers.
- Sand mixes: Designed for thin applications like patching or topping existing concrete surfaces.
Which Is The Most Popular Sakrete Product? The Sakrete high-strength concrete mix remains the top choice for both contractors and DIYers at our
local lumberyard. It is a versatile, professional-grade blend of gravel, sand, and cement that reaches 4,000 psi. It is perfect for any project requiring a solid base, such as 4-in thick patio slabs or deck footings. If you are starting a new project, we recommend you
sign-up to manage your orders and get accurate material estimates through our
all product categories list.
How Much Water Do I Add To A Bag Of Sakrete? Proper water-to-mix ratio is critical. Generally, a standard 80-lb bag requires approximately 3-qt of clean water. Adding too much water can weaken the concrete, while too little makes it difficult to work with. For precise calculations on larger pours,
Arlington Coal and Lumber Company can help you determine the exact volume needed for your specific dimensions.
Can Sakrete Be Used For Repairs And Resurfacing? Yes, Sakrete offers specialized resurfacers and patchers. If you have a spalling driveway or a cracked sidewalk, products like Flo-Coat allow you to apply a thin layer (as thin as 1/16-in) to make old concrete look new again. You can find these and other
Concrete Accessories in our
products section. We are your
one-stop shop for all things masonry in the New England region.
