Concrete mix for paving slabs

cheif kaiser · 2014-05-13 01:52:09

I want to make my own paving slabs but am confused about what the correct ratio of cement, sand, gravel would be to make a nice smooth slab. Was thinking 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, 1 part gravel but am not sure if this would work. Any advice please?
