anybody ever make concrete out of beach sand?
I have a small patio / landing to install at a beach house. The substrate is pure sand and round gravel.
I figured I could form it out, then mix Portland cement and water directly in the sand and mix it with shovels or a rototiller. Screed it flat and lay pavers right on that.
Has anyone tried this?
Will the salt in the sand cause the concrete to not harden?
The area is small 300 sqft
