Q: 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>

Q: Does a pergola need to be on concrete?

• <div><p>A pergola needs to be anchored, and typically, concrete is the best anchor option. Pergolas should be anchored to a concrete slab or concrete footings, and this is commonly required by municipal building codes. When applying for a permit to install a pergola, be sure to check the anchoring requirements as well.</p></div>

Q: Can you pour a slab without footings?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pour a foundation</a> slab without footings, in which case it&rsquo;s often called a floating slab. Floating slabs don&rsquo;t have separate footings poured beforehand for support, which means they&rsquo;re better suited for smaller structures. Monolithic concrete slabs are another option for a slab foundation without standalone footings, although the vertical edges of the single-pour slab do act as footings.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to Pour Concrete Over Asphalt?

• <div><p>You can pour concrete over asphalt if it&rsquo;s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">asphalt driveway repair costs</a> or replace it completely. </p><p>But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it&rsquo;ll be harder to accurately understand what&rsquo;s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.</p></div>

Q: What are the most important questions to ask a concrete contractor?

• <div><p>Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.</p></div>

Jess Cooper showed up on time to give me an estimate for the work. Then he kept us in the loop as to when his crew would be there to do the work. We were very impressed with the quality of the work. I would absolutely recommend Ultimate Asphalt for driveway or road work.
