Which gravel can you harden into a solid surface?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-decomposed-granite.htm">Decomposed granite</a> and caliche can both harden into a solid surface using a plate compactor. However, due to decomposed granite’s fine particles, it’s not suitable for driveway surfaces. Some homeowners use pea gravel mixed with a gravel-binding resin to bind the loose stones and create a solid surface that won’t shift like loose gravel.</p></div>

Q: How much base is needed under a concrete slab?

• <div><p>You should have at least <b>4 to 6 inches</b> of compactable base under your concrete slab. Your contractor may recommend more depending on the structure.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete countertops hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete countertops are harder to maintain than other materials. You don&rsquo;t have to stress about them every single day, but they need to be resealed at least once a year, if not multiple times a year. Concrete also stains easily, so you must clean spills immediately. Avoid harsh, acidic cleaning products, as they can damage the sealant. Finally, concrete is prone to cracking over time, requiring repairs.</p></div>

Q: How do I find a reputable cement driveway contractor?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s important to protect your investment in your project by hiring a reputable contractor. First, make sure they&rsquo;re insured and with a licensed company. Get referrals by asking friends and neighbors who were happy with their finished products. </p><p>While you may initially think it&rsquo;s more affordable to use an independent contractor or friend of a friend, you might benefit in the long run from working with an experienced contractor who can take the job entirely off your hands. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-hire-concrete-driveway-contractor.htm">Hiring a concrete driveway contractor</a> takes a bit of up-front research.</p></div>

Q: How long does concrete take to cure in cold weather?

• <div><p>Concrete can cure in 24 hours if the temperature remains above 40 degrees, but it might take up to 48 hours for the initial curing if the temperature drops close to freezing. You can speed up the curing process in cold weather by using accelerants, or you can insulate the slab or enclose and warm the area with heaters. </p></div>
