Can you turn normal concrete into exposed aggregate?

• <div><p>You can apply an exposed aggregate finish to existing traditional concrete, but you’ll need to resurface the concrete and include aggregate in the top layer of concrete. You’ll also need to prepare the surface beforehand to ensure a good bond between the materials. Adding exposed aggregate is a job best handled by a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-companies/">concrete professional</a>.</p></div>

Q: How can I spot a concrete slab leak before it becomes a major issue?

• <div><p>Regularly inspecting your foundation&mdash;at least the visible sections&mdash;for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-signs-homes-foundation-trouble.htm">signs of foundation issues</a> like moisture and pest infestation is a good way to identify slab leaks early, as is keeping an eye and ear out for water damage to indoor building materials, above-average water bills, sounds of running water when no fixtures or appliances are on, and indoor humidity that causes the temperatures to feel more extreme. If you do find any issues, contact a plumber right away to check it out for you.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of year to resurface a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>The best&mdash;and most popular&mdash;time of year to resurface a concrete driveway is the late spring. Concrete damage often peaks in the winter as the ground freezes and thaws. Waiting until late spring allows the ground to soften fully, so you don't run the risk of more damage from a sudden cold snap.</p></div>

Q: How thick should exposed aggregate concrete be?

• <div><p>A layer of exposed aggregate concrete should be 1 to 2 inches thick if you&rsquo;re installing it on top of existing concrete. If you&rsquo;re pouring a new slab with the finish, slab thickness will depend on the application. Exposed aggregate concrete driveways should be 4 to 6 inches thick in most cases or 8 to 12 inches for commercial vehicles. Sidewalks, patios, and walkways should be 4 inches thick. </p></div>

Q: How do you repair cracks in a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>The method used to repair cracks in your concrete driveway will depend on the extent of the damage, but the most common method for small cracks is to use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-resurface-concrete-driveway.htm">driveway resurfacing </a>compound. This solution is either cementitious or made of polyurethane, and it will seal the crack and make your driveway appear undamaged. </p><p>For more severe cracks, you will likely need to hire a professional driveway repair service. They can use mudjacking, epoxy injections, partial driveway replacements, or a combination of these to fix more serious cracks in your concrete driveway and to prevent recurring issues.</p></div>
