Q: How do you get a smooth finish when pouring concrete?

• <div><p>The trick to getting a smooth finish when pouring concrete is to smooth the surface of the concrete with a magnesium float. This tool helps bring the finer, smoother aggregate to the surface for a cleaner finish. Don&rsquo;t overdo the floating process, though, or the slab can become weaker and start to scale. </p></div>

Q: Could I get a concrete slab instead?

• <div><p>If you're only working with a gravel pad, and there is no concrete foundation, you might be able to upgrade to a concrete slab, but you&rsquo;d have to speak with a professional concrete expert to confirm and get pricing. If you have a concrete foundation or cement block walls around the area where you want to build flooring, you might be able to pour a new concrete floor over the existing one to forgo repairs. Again, speak with a concrete expert or foundation company to see if this is an option.</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: What is the difference between a concrete floor and a concrete slab?

• <div><p>A concrete floor is just an indoor finished surface on a concrete slab, which a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-flooring/">local concrete flooring company</a> will polish or coat for aesthetics and stain resistance. A concrete slab is more often an unfinished slab of concrete that serves as a foundation for a structure, like a shed or home. However, they can also be finished for outdoor use, as in the case of a decorative concrete patio or walkway. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take for troweled concrete to cure?

• <div><p>The curing time for troweled concrete depends on different factors. The type of concrete mix used in the project can impact the time it takes for the concrete to cure, and climate conditions such as moisture and humidity can as well. It can take several days to a few weeks for concrete to fully cure, depending on the concrete mix. </p></div>
