How long does concrete take to completely harden?

• <div><p>Concrete can take <b>up to 28 days</b> to completely harden, depending on the type and its water content. But it dries enough for foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours. If you're curious about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-concrete-take-to-dry.htm">how long it takes concrete to dry</a> entirely, the answer is more complex, so always check with the specific mixture instructions before adding heavy machinery or driving on new concrete.</p></div>

Which gravel can you harden into a solid surface?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">Decomposed granite</a> and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.</p></div>

Q: What to look for in a concrete contractor?

• <div><p>When hiring a concrete contractor, you should seek someone with proven experience, proper licensing, and insurance. You should also check reviews online, talk to references, and view past project photos. Remember that reliable contractors communicate openly and have an expert understanding of local building codes. You&rsquo;ll also want to ensure that the contractor specializes in the specific type of concrete work you want, whether a driveway or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-stained-concrete-floors-cost.htm">tinted concrete flooring</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can I pour self-leveling concrete over concrete?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;as long as the area has been properly prepped. Different self-leveling brands and compounds have their own specific instructions for preparation; some may require that you add primer or grind the surface. Without proper preparation of the surface, the compound will not be able to fully bond to the concrete and fill the cure as a separate layer, which makes it prone to chipping.</p></div>

Q: What outdoor flooring is not slippery?

• <div><p>Outdoor kitchens get wet and are sometimes next to pools. To avoid accidents, go with a non-slip material like concrete, brick, or rubber. Avoid materials like ceramic and porcelain, as they are known to be quite slippery. Wood and composite flooring can be slippery if untreated, so make sure to stain or finish these materials.</p></div>

I am impressed with Alguire Contruction. We had an issue with a stamped concrete patio puddling water. John and his crew cut out the low spot and re-poured it. I was impressed with their overall workmanship and follow through. I would hire them again. Jim

The end result was excellent. They reinforced the concrete with a significant amount of rebar, fiber-based concrete and added plenty of expansion seams for potential cracking. The only ding was: they broke some ceramic tiles that had to be replaced and re-grouted. John Alquire is an extremely...
