The Mix

Rule of thumb: Use concrete with a 4- to 6-inch slump, made with 3/8-inch maximum-size course aggregate (pea-rock or -inch minus aggregate).

Remember that this size aggregate requires a higher sand content, a greater amount of water, and therefore an increased cement content in order to achieve a 6-inch slump with the necessary strength, so order the mix accordingly.
