To make 1 yard of concrete, you'll typically need about 1.5 cubic yards of aggregate (gravel) and around 0.5 to 0.75 cubic yards of sand. If using standard shovels, which hold about 0.1 cubic feet, you would need approximately 54 to 81 shovels of aggregate and about 18 to 27 shovels of sand, depending on the exact proportions used in your mix. The specific amounts can vary based on the desired concrete strength and mix design.

How many shovels on sand to mix one bag of cement?

The number of shovels of sand needed to mix one bag of cement can vary based on the desired concrete mix ratio. A common ratio for a basic mix is 3 parts sand to 1 part cement, which would require approximately 3 shovels of sand for every shovel of cement. Therefore, for one bag of cement, you would typically use around 9 shovels of sand. However, adjustments may be necessary based on specific project requirements.
