How long does concrete take to completely harden?

• <div><p>Concrete can take <b>up to 28 days</b> to completely harden, depending on the type and its water content. But it dries enough for foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours. If you're curious about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-concrete-take-to-dry.htm">how long it takes concrete to dry</a> entirely, the answer is more complex, so always check with the specific mixture instructions before adding heavy machinery or driving on new concrete.</p></div>

How thick should a concrete patio be?

• <div><p>Most standard concrete patios are around 4 inches deep. However, concrete patios that need to support very heavy items, like a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-tips-installing-indoor-hot-tub.htm">hot tub</a> or outdoor kitchen, should be around 6 inches thick to support the full weight of these items. You'll also want to make sure you install rebar for patios that need to support a lot of weight like this. </p></div>

Q: Can you pour a slab without footings?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-contractors-pour-solid-concrete-foundations.htm">pour a foundation</a> slab without footings, in which case it&rsquo;s often called a floating slab. Floating slabs don&rsquo;t have separate footings poured beforehand for support, which means they&rsquo;re better suited for smaller structures. Monolithic concrete slabs are another option for a slab foundation without standalone footings, although the vertical edges of the single-pour slab do act as footings.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to stain or paint concrete?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, stain is a better option for concrete because it soaks into the surface and won&rsquo;t get worn away like a topical paint will. Painting concrete increases the risk that moisture will get trapped beneath the top layer of paint, which wears concrete down over time. So long as you know how to prep concrete for staining, you'll maintain its strength after you finish your project.</p></div>

Q: What are the main ingredients to make concrete?

• <div><p>The main ingredients to make concrete are cement, water, air, and aggregate for proper formation. Mixing concrete occurs just before use to ensure proper curing after it is combined with water. Cement, however, is the key ingredient to concrete, and includes a collection of natural binding elements and sand, clay, and limestone. </p></div>
