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: 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: How does concrete not stick to formwork?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don&rsquo;t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won&rsquo;t stick to the concrete after it&rsquo;s cured.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to sand concrete before painting?

• <div><p>You should sand concrete before painting, as it helps remove any irregularities and pieces that stick out from the surface. This not only helps the paint look better but it prevents any unwanted water absorption.</p></div>

Q: 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>
