Abstract
According to aspects of the present disclosure, a composition is disclosed, which can be utilized to construct a retention structure, e.g., for use with hardscape such as pavers, tile, stone, and other building materials. The composition is a mixture of a cement component (e.g., Portland cement), a sand component, a gravel component, a silica fume component, and fiber component, the above-components mixed in varying ratios. When the cement component, sand component, gravel component, silica fume component, and fiber component are mixed in an effective amount, combined with a water component, and applied against a hardscape, the composition, once cured, defines a retention structure that abuts to, but is not adhered to the hardscape.
Claims20
A composition for a retention structure, the composition comprising:
- a cement component;
- a sand component;
- a gravel component;
- a silica fume component;
- and
- a fiber component;
- wherein when the cement component, sand component, gravel component, silica fume component, and fiber component are mixed in an effective amount, combined with a water component, and applied against a hardscape, such that the composition, once cured, defines a retention structure that abuts to, but is not adhered to the hardscape.
A hardscape retention structure created by a process comprising:
- mixing water with a composition of a cement component, a sand component, a gravel component, a silica fume component, and a fiber component to define a mixture;
- applying the mixture along an edge of a hardscape;
- and
- shaping the mixture along the hardscape;
- wherein when the cement component, sand component, gravel component, silica fume component, and fiber component are mixed in an effective amount and mixed with the water component, such that the mixture, once cured, results in a hardscape retention structure that abuts to, but does not adhere to the hardscape.
A process of creating a continuous edging for hardscape comprising:
- mixing water with a composition of a cement component, a sand component, a gravel component, a silica fume component, and a fiber component to define a mixture;
- applying the mixture along an edge of a hardscape;
- and
- shaping the mixture along the hardscape;
- wherein when the cement component, sand component, gravel component, silica fume component, and fiber component are mixed in an effective amount and mixed with the water component, such that the mixture, once cured, results in a continuous edging that abuts to, but does not adhere to the hardscape.
