Can you pour concrete over an existing basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour concrete over an existing concrete basement floor to save time and money on fully ripping out an existing concrete slab. However, it’s not a perfect solution, so consult a pro before moving forward. You must take specific measurements, and these kinds of floors don’t have the same longevity.</p></div>

Will projects involving cement affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, adding concrete landscaping features will cause your property taxes to increase. That’s because projects that involve a permanent concrete foundation require permits and permanently improve the land. Since taxes are based on improvements, your taxes will go up. Here are some projects that will likely have an impact on your taxes:</p><ul><li><p>Concrete pool decks</p></li><li><p>Concrete patios</p></li><li><p>Concrete walkways</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-concrete-driveway-cost.htm">Concrete driveways</a></p></li><li><p>Concrete steps</p></li><li><p>Concrete foundations</p></li></ul><p>Since most of these will only lead to a partial improvement, you can expect the bump in your taxes to be minimal, but this is still something to consider.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you over-trowel concrete?

• <div><p>If you over-trowel concrete, it will be difficult for moisture to move through it. For this reason, it may be worthwhile to hire a professional, especially if you don&rsquo;t have the advanced knowledge and techniques required to avoid this issue. </p></div>

Q: How do you make concrete shine like glass?

• <div><p>Polished concrete gets its glass-like finish from several rounds of polishing, using increasingly finer grit diamond grinding pads. The concrete&rsquo;s hardness will determine which grits you need to get your desired finish. The densifier and sealer also contribute to the look of the final floor, so either talk to a concrete pro (or hire one) to achieve the right <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-floor-finishes.htm">concrete floor finish</a>.</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>

I was happy with them because Chris offered some suggestions to make the yard work better for me. But the options are not probably the best for my needs. The gravel and mulch areas are great and the drip system seem to be working just fine but the mulch may not be a good choice for my dogs since...
