Can you put carpet directly on concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put carpet directly on concrete. However, you need to take certain precautions to ensure the success of the carpet installation. For example, you’ll need to choose a synthetic carpet pad to provide insulation and cushioning and a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the carpet. </p></div>

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>
