Q: How much weight does a 4-inch concrete slab support?

• <div><p>A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you&rsquo;re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.</p></div>

Q: What is a driveway apron called?

• <div><p>The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself. </p></div>

Q: Does adding water to concrete increase the slump?

• <div><p>Yes, adding water to concrete will increase its slump, so you should do so with caution. Always measure the slump of the concrete batch before you adjust it, and be sure not to add too much and push the slump too high. Doing so can cause the aggregate to separate, set inconsistently, or shrink.</p></div>

Q: How does concrete not stick to formwork?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don&rsquo;t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won&rsquo;t stick to the concrete after it&rsquo;s cured.</p></div>

Q: Are there eco-friendly concrete options?

• <div><p>Yes, including sustainable mixes and reflective surfaces to reduce heat absorption.</p></div>

My driveway was totally cracked. I was scared I was going to have to replace the entire driveway. Luckily DryLock Pros was able to use the existing driveway, grind it down, and apply a new surface coat of concrete. My driveway looks brand new. Well worth the money. Highly recommend.
