Q: How long do concrete pathways last?

• <div><p>A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete. </p></div>

Q: How much do cement companies charge for concrete projects?

• <div><p>Cement companies often charge a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-deliver-concrete.htm">per-cubic-yard cost for concrete</a>, which averages around <b>$130</b>.

Q: What factors affect stamped concrete costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on design complexity, area size, and additional features like borders or color enhancements.</p></div>

Q: Which surfaces are scorpions unable to climb?

• <div><p>Scorpions have difficulty climbing smooth, non-porous surfaces like clean glass or polished metal because their pincers and feet cannot grip the surface effectively. While they are excellent climbers on rough or textured materials such as wood, stucco, or brick, slick surfaces prevent them from gaining traction or anchoring themselves. If you're trying to scorpion-proof parts of your home, using smooth materials for barriers or containers can be an effective deterrent strategy.</p></div>
