How would Mason sand work in concrete???

Posted by JD Seller on June 28, 2014 at 21:54:29 from (208.126.198.123):

I had a use for some mason sand. A full load was not much more than the half load I needed. So I had a full load delivered.

I have a portable cement mixer. I have some small concrete jobs coming up. They are under 2 yards each time. I had planned to mix the concrete myself anyway.

I have always used concrete sand not the finer mason sand. SO will the mason sand work all right??? The concrete will just be some steps and a basement walk way repair. So the concrete will not be a structural member/load.

I also use the old 1,2,3 mix ratio.
1 part Portland cement
2 parts sand
3 parts gravel

Is this what most of you mix ratio wise???
