Does a concrete walkway or sidewalk need rebar?

• <div><p>Whether a concrete walkway or sidewalk needs rebar depends on how it will be used. Walkways and sidewalks meant for light foot traffic don’t need rebar, and you can use wire mesh instead. But concrete surfaces that will see heavy machinery will likely need it.</p></div>

Q: Do you need rebar in concrete steps?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete steps need rebar to reinforce the structure and ensure it can hold weight over time. Place a lattice of rebar inside the form before pouring concrete to give the steps their maximum strength. Tie each intersection together with rebar ties to hold the structure all together. Without rebar, concrete steps can sink, crumble, and lose their longevity.</p></div>

Q: How long does a concrete patio last on average?

• <div><p>A concrete patio lasts an average of 30 years, but the length of life you&rsquo;ll get from yours depends largely on the climate. In harsh conditions, including excessive rainfall and snowfall, a concrete patio may only last for 15 years. In a moderate climate and with non-expansive, supportive soil below, a concrete patio could last for up to 50 years.</p></div>

Q: Will concrete set in rain?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pouring-concrete-in-the-rain.htm">concrete can set in rain</a>, but it&rsquo;s best if you pour concrete 4 to 8 hours before any rain to ensure it won&rsquo;t impact its strength and appearance. Exposure to heavy rain during the early stages (the first 48 hours after pouring) can significantly reduce the structural integrity of the concrete. Over time, cracking is more likely due to softer concrete. </p></div>

I just got my new concrete sidewalk done, and it looks really good. The job was finished on time, and everything was done the right way. The sidewalk is smooth and even, just how I wanted it. They were easy to work with and kept everything clean. I’m very happy with the job and would recommend...

The first time they put up the fence posts with no concrete and the fence wobbled. They had to come back out and redo the whole fence with concrete. The man was very nice and friendly, but not on the mark professionally. It's fine now, but it might have been better to pay a little more for a...

The concrete work around the pool was poorly done. The encased the pool skimmer into the side of the pool with a sloppy concrete job so we cannot use it. It is not level, it does not meet code, it is at the lowest point of our yard. Everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong.
