Will wet concrete bond to dry concrete?

• <div><p>No, wet concrete will not bond to dry concrete without an additional bonding agent. The common alternative is adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-anybody-use-sand-base-they-pour-concrete-driveway.htm">sand or gravel layer under a concrete slab</a> to enhance bonding and create a stable foundation. The right choice depends on the height and thickness of your two slabs, local laws, and the use of the specific concrete slab. </p></div>

Q: How do you cut cement pavers without a saw?

• <div><p>An easy way to cut concrete pavers without a saw is to use a hammer and chisel. You can make a few passes over your paver with a hammer and chisel to make a fissure where you want the paver to break. Once the divot is about 1/8 inch thick, drive the chisel hard into the center of the line to complete the cut without using a saw.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between masonry and concrete?

• <div><p>Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">Types of concrete</a> applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.</p></div>

Q: How long does a concrete driveway last?

• <div><p>A concrete driveway lasts between 25 and 30 years on average, and that's only with proper maintenance. The longevity of a concrete driveway also depends on the method and quality of installation, as well as your local climate. If your driveway gets a lot of wear and tear from several vehicles&mdash;especially heavy ones like trucks and RVs&mdash;your driveway will last less than the typical 25- to 30-year lifespan. </p></div>

Q: What is the life span of a stamped concrete driveway?

• <div><p>While stamped concrete can last <b>up to 50 year</b>s on average, a driveway will likely need repairs or resurfacing within 25 years. Comparatively, the life span of a stamped concrete driveway is much longer than those built with pavers or asphalt, which will often crack or break down under the weight of your vehicle much sooner.</p></div>
