Does grass grow through concrete?

• <div><p>While most of the grass below newly poured concrete will die, some will grow through the cracks and around its edges with ease. Some grasses and weeds can even widen hairline cracks in your foundation, particularly the inevitable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-cracks-in-concrete.htm">concrete cracks</a> that form during the curing process. This is just one of the reasons it's best to remove grass before laying concrete.</p></div>

Q: How long do concrete pools last?

• <div><p>A well-built and well-maintained concrete pool should last anywhere from 50 to 75 years. Concrete is prone to cracking, so winterization and regular pool repairs are particularly important. Water can seep into existing cracks, freeze, and make them worse. Most homeowners should resurface their concrete every few years to maintain their pool&rsquo;s lifespan. </p></div>

Q: Is it more expensive to maintain a concrete or asphalt driveway?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">cost of asphalt driveway repair</a> is usually similar to the cost of average concrete driveway repairs, but maintaining asphalt tends to be less expensive on a per-instance basis. For example, resurfacing asphalt costs about $1 less per square foot, but it doesn&rsquo;t last as long as concrete and will need more frequent repairs. An asphalt driveway lasts 20 to 25 years, but a well-maintained concrete driveway can last twice as long, so the maintenance costs and timeline even out. </p></div>

Q: When is the best time to pour concrete?

• <div><p>The best time to pour concrete is mid-afternoon when temperatures often sit between 50 and 60 degrees, and you don&rsquo;t expect rain for at least 24 to 48 hours. Avoiding direct sunlight in the peak afternoon hours can help reduce the risk of curing too quickly, as can avoiding pouring on hot summer days. Colder temperatures and rain can lead to slower curing times and weaken the concrete. If in doubt, especially if your concrete will provide structural stability, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hire-a-concrete-contractor.htm">hire a contractor</a> to determine the best time to pour.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain concrete floors?

• <div><p>Clean with a damp mop and reseal every few years to protect the surface and enhance appearance.</p></div>

Absolutely fabulous. My front and back concrete looks spotless. It was really dirty and had been for a long time. It looks sparkling clean now and my windows also I’m very very pleased with the service.
