Q: Can you dry pour concrete over existing concrete?

• <div><p>You can dry <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-over-concrete.htm">pour concrete over existing concrete</a>, but it&rsquo;s best to use wet pour concrete instead. Dry pour concrete is easier to apply, but in order for new concrete to adhere to old concrete, it needs the right mixture for slow, uniform curing. Additionally, dry pour concrete is less durable and less resistant to cracking and concrete sinking, so dry pouring over an existing slab may result in surface imperfections appearing prematurely.</p></div>

Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</p></div>

Q: Why remove grass before pouring concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should not be poured directly over grass, as this will impede the necessary tension of the concrete. Grass and soil can draw in moisture, leading to potential cracking. For a solid, lasting foundation, the area must be flat, firm, and completely dry.</p></div>

Q: Should fence post concrete be above ground?

• <div><p>Ideally, your concrete should set slightly above ground at an angle sloping away from the fence post. This will add extra support and allow water to run away from the wood fence post. Keeping water out will help prevent wood rot. Additionally, you can add soil on top of the concrete for a seamless finish. </p></div>

Q: How many 50-pound bags of concrete do I need for a fence post?

• <div><p>The number of concrete bags you'll need depends on the width and length of your fence post hole. A 50-pound bag makes about 0.375 cubic feet of concrete. So, if your hole is 30 inches deep and 12 inches wide, you'll probably need around five 50-pound bags for each post.</p></div>

Joe really communicated with all the contractors really well. Our patio turned out unbelievable, with the colors and border that Joe helped us pick to match the house. The guys that did the screen in were awesome too. Definitely we would recommend. We are very happy.
