Will my freshly poured concrete wall crack?

• <div><p>Newly poured concrete is prone to small, fine cracks within the first 30 days of installation, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freshly-poured-concrete-normally-crack.htm">most noticeable cracks will disappear</a> within that time frame. If a crack is greater than 1 inch, consider contacting the person who installed your wall to inspect the job. </p></div>

Does grass grow through concrete?

• <div><p>While most of the grass below newly poured concrete will die, some will grow through the cracks and around its edges with ease. Some grasses and weeds can even widen hairline cracks in your foundation, particularly the inevitable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-cracks-in-concrete.htm">concrete cracks</a> that form during the curing process. This is just one of the reasons it's best to remove grass before laying concrete.</p></div>

Q: Can I just use cement on its own?

• <div><p>No, cement cannot be used on its own except for rare circumstances, as it's only a binder to form other products, such as concrete or mortar. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to create a concrete or mortar mix. Concrete, for instance, needs cement, water, and aggregates such as sand and gravel. Using the right amount of water and water temperature is essential to ensure you have the right <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-slump.htm">concrete slump</a> and the mix spreads easily and cures well. </p></div>

Q: Can I pour concrete patios or steps myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small jobs, but professionals ensure durability, proper grading, and compliance with safety codes.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove concrete myself?
