Is concrete stronger than masonry?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.</p></div>

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

In most cases, you can also expect to pay for leveling, surfacing, and add-on services, like stamping concrete.

Q: Will baking soda and vinegar remove rust from concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, baking soda and vinegar can remove rust from concrete. Vinegar is acidic and can remove rust stains from concrete on its own. Adding baking soda may increase abrasiveness, which could help loosen some of the stain even more when scrubbing the stain. However, a stiff-bristled brush can do the same. </p></div>

Q: What is the longest-lasting driveway material?

• <div><p>With an average lifespan of 30 years, concrete driveways last the longest of any material on the market. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s the go-to choice for most contractors throughout the nation. Gravel driveways can also last up to 30 years but require much more maintenance&mdash;and regularly buying and adding more gravel&mdash;to make it that long. </p></div>

Q: What is the safest ice melt for concrete and pets?

• <div><p>Magnesium chloride is often said to be the safest salt-based option for pet owners. Potassium chloride and calcium chloride are other common choices. For homeowners with dogs, urea is generally safe for their paws and won&rsquo;t be harmful if ingested. You might also consider opting for an ice melt brand designed with pet safety in mind. </p></div>
