Hi all,
I'm helping a local non-profit group create more parking area behind their facility. They have a very tight budget. I have devised a plan that will yeild about 18 new parking spaces in an area that has an approximate slope of 6%. With a tight budget, asphalt or concrete surfacing is out of the question -- aggregate of some type it will be.
Have any of you ever used "reclaimed concrete", which is how our local concrete company describes the processed / unused portion of concrete that comes back to the plant. Looking at the material, it looks like mostly sand with some aggregate in it. I suppose they somehow wash the cement out of the mix and dump it, and then sell it at a seemingly good price of 6.50 per yard. Any body have any experience with something like this? How well does it set up / compact, likelihood of it washing, etc.?
Thanks in advance for your insight.
