When a job calls for one or two bags instead of a truck, Sakrete is the controlled answer. Regina Concrete stocks Sakrete concrete, mortar and specialty mixes for post holes, small footings, repair work and tie-ins where precision and the right cure schedule matter more than volume. We measure water to the bag spec and cure to the printed timeline so your small pour performs like the rest of the slab. Free written estimate on every job.
Sakrete occupies the same shelf as Quikrete in the bagged-concrete world, and on a working site they trade places depending on what is in stock and what the specific product line needs to be. Both brands meet the same standards, so the choice comes down to the mix type and local availability.
The real value shows up in jobs where a full truck of ready mix would be wasteful or where the pour is too small to justify the delivery fee. A deck footing, a fence post hole, a corner repair on a patio, a small structural pad for a shed, a tie-in where existing concrete meets new work. These are the moments when bagged concrete saves money without sacrificing the structural integrity.
On larger projects, Sakrete often works alongside premium repair and waterproofing lines. A basement wall might get Sika waterproofing on the interior, but the small footing pours still use Sakrete to spec. A driveway repair might call for Ardex self-leveling in the main patch, with Sakrete in the edge work. See our full concrete product lineup.

How Sakrete Gets Mixed and Placed in Regina
Select the right Sakrete product
Structural concrete, fast-set mortar, repair mix, or specialty blend. We choose based on the application, not the brand name.
Measure water to the bag
The printed ratio on the bag is the spec. We measure water volume, not guess by feel, so the concrete reaches its rated strength and set time.
Prepare the substrate first
The hole, footing, or repair area is excavated, cleaned and compacted before the mix goes in, so it bonds to solid ground or existing concrete.
Cure on schedule
We follow the bag's cure timeline before loading the post, anchor or repair, so the small pour reaches full strength the same way a large slab does.
Two brands, one shelf
Sakrete vs. Quikrete, Which One?
Sakrete and Quikrete are the two major bagged-concrete lines, and they sit in the same space on most jobs. The deciding factor is usually the specific product line that matches the task, and which one is available locally. Both perform when mixed to the printed water ratio.
The bigger decision is bagged versus ready mix. When you need volume, continuous placement, or a large slab that requires a truck and pump, we coordinate ready mix supply and concrete pumping to the job. For everything smaller, bagged Sakrete or Quikrete is the cleaner, more economical choice.
Where Sakrete fits, mixing, structural pours and the line between bagged and ready mix in Regina.
They are interchangeable for most uses. Both are major bagged-concrete brands tested to the same standards. We pick the specific product line for the job, not the brand label.
Yes, for the right footings. Small structural footings can use a Sakrete structural mix to the rated PSI and slab thickness. Anything larger or engineered-design needs ready mix coordinated to the spec, see our ready mix supply.
Whatever the bag specifies for that product. Sakrete performs to its rated PSI and set time when mixed to the printed water ratio, not by feel. We measure water against the bag every batch.
Yes. Sakrete repair mixes are designed to bond to existing concrete when the substrate is prepped and primed correctly, so a patch ties into the original concrete properly instead of breaking back off.
When the small pour ties into a larger project where the structural detail or the bond matters. Anchors that hold a railing or footings under a deck are not where bag-mix DIY is the right call.
