I have all the required materials I just need to know the ratios. I have 10mm shingle, ballast, sharp sand and cement. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Unless you can vibrate them or press them they won't be very strong.

Your better of doing a 100 mm thick concrete area and then use a brick pointing iron to create a crazy paving effect ..or just a nice wood float finish.
 
I have vibrated them with an old sheet sander in the past and theyve come out quite well. I just lost the post it note from last year which had the ratios for the correct mixture on it. I need to do about 8 more to complete my pathway :)

Id have thought a 3-2-1 mix sand gravel cement.
Add some screed fibers too. Improve strength
