Can I pour concrete directly on dirt?

• <div><p>It is not advisable to pour concrete directly on dirt. Even compacted soil—known as a subgrade—is not strong enough to maintain the form of concrete. You can, however, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-over-concrete.htm">pour concrete over concrete</a> as long as the overlay has proper bonding agents and the slab below is clear of damage.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take for pool concrete to set?

• <div><p>Pool concrete or gunite can take several weeks to cure, or an average of 30 days, before workers can resume construction. Additional work and finishes push the time to build a pool out of concrete to between three and six months. There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-types-cost-decks-and-other-options.htm">types of pools</a> that take far less time, so keep these in mind if you're on a short timeline. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a regular drill to drill into concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to drill into concrete with nothing more than a regular drill. However, it will take more time and more effort on your part. You also need to watch out for overheating and wearing out the drill bit. Using water can help lubricate the bit and prevent overheating.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair my concrete driveway or have a new concrete driveway installed?

• <div><p>Cost and age are two factors to consider when determining if you should repair or replace your concrete driveway. If your existing driveway is on the older side and the cost of repairs is 50% or more of its value, it might be worth replacing it. Replacing a concrete driveway when it's 20 years old and deteriorating in condition will save you from the cost of repairs that likely wouldn&rsquo;t save it from replacement in a few years anyway. </p></div>

Q: Can you screw directly into concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can screw directly into concrete, but only if you use screws specifically made for masonry or concrete. They're often labeled as masonry screws and made of steel and a special thread that provides a strong grip. However, even when using these screws, drilling a pilot hole first will make it much easier. </p></div>

Went quickly - great care was taken to keep debris from entering the existing pool. Finished product makes pool deck less slippery which was a definite need.
