In this video I show how to mix concrete by yourself and what I believe is the most efficient way to do so. The are many ways to pour concrete and probably the best situation is when you can have a concrete truck delivered with already mixed and ready to pour concrete. However that is not always an option especially if you are working by yourself. Other methods include using a concrete mixer machine however I feel that is better suited for a small team of individuals to operate effectively. When working by yourself you generally are left with no choice but to hand mix concrete using something like a shovel. Mixing concrete by hand is very difficult, exhausting, and time consuming. It just isn't an ideal way to mix concrete by yourself when you want to pour a substantial amount of concrete at one time.

I recently constructed a large concrete patio working all by myself. I started the concrete project hand mixing the wet concrete with a shovel and it beat me up. I then found a concrete mixing drill and things improved dramatically. I was able to increase my mixing time dramatically and work much more efficiently.
