Q: Does concrete dry faster in heat or cold?

• <div><p>Concrete dries faster in the heat than in the cold, but when concrete cures too fast, it can cause weak concrete. It&rsquo;s best to pour concrete when temperatures are between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, watering it five to 10 times per day for seven days (unless you pour concrete in the winter). Slower cure times, such as when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pouring-concrete-in-cold-weather.htm">pouring concrete in cold weather</a>, can cause strong concrete, but you need to monitor the temperature drop and moisture levels. Avoid pouring concrete when temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.</p></div>

Q: Can you grind concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can grind concrete by hand, but it&rsquo;s typically known as sanding concrete when done with a hand grinder. Additionally, you should only use this method if you&rsquo;re working on a smaller area, like a countertop, rounding an edge, removing imperfections, or doing a spot repair versus a driveway or patio.</p></div>

Q: How long does a concrete driveway last?

• <div><p>A concrete driveway lasts between 25 and 30 years on average, and that's only with proper maintenance. The longevity of a concrete driveway also depends on the method and quality of installation, as well as your local climate. If your driveway gets a lot of wear and tear from several vehicles&mdash;especially heavy ones like trucks and RVs&mdash;your driveway will last less than the typical 25- to 30-year lifespan. </p></div>

Q: How long do concrete pathways last?

• <div><p>A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete. </p></div>

Q: Is thicker concrete more or less likely to crack?

• <div><p>Thicker concrete is less likely to crack due to extreme weather changes. At a minimum, concrete slabs should be at least 4 inches, but if you&rsquo;re worried about the concrete cracking under the weight of heavy machinery or from the freeze-thaw patterns of your climate, you should use even thicker concrete. A professional <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-companies/">concrete company near you</a> will be able to advise on the best thickness for your climate and use case.</p></div>

Mr Garza was very prompt to get started. They completed the project while we were out of town and took pictures and communicated each step of the process. Our stamped concrete patio looks fantastic!

Now I can save water when I shower, as not leaving water run while I shampoo. No hearing water running in the night, because water level in the commode tank leaked down. That other commode, it was hard to be certain the tank would refill after flushing, especially at night!
