How long does it take to build a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>Building a concrete driveway normally takes between one and three days, including the time to cure the concrete. Wait at least seven days <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-before-drive-on-concrete.htm">before driving on your driveway</a> and two days before walking on it. Your contractor may require additional time if you need to level the ground, install a drainage system, or order special concrete materials. Installing a driveway also often requires a permit, so be sure to include this wait into your prep time as well.</p></div>

Q: Can fake grass be laid over concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you can lay <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-artificial-grass-concrete.htm">fake grass over concrete</a> in a few situations. Concrete that is both stable and has proper drainage is an ideal base for artificial grass and is even a great DIY project. In fact, it's an excellent low-maintenance and eco-friendly alternative to tearing up your concrete patio and planting grass or ground cover plants.</p></div>

Q: How thick should exposed aggregate concrete be?

• <div><p>A layer of exposed aggregate concrete should be 1 to 2 inches thick if you&rsquo;re installing it on top of existing concrete. If you&rsquo;re pouring a new slab with the finish, slab thickness will depend on the application. Exposed aggregate concrete driveways should be 4 to 6 inches thick in most cases or 8 to 12 inches for commercial vehicles. Sidewalks, patios, and walkways should be 4 inches thick. </p></div>

Q: When is the best time to pour concrete?

• <div><p>The best time to pour concrete is mid-afternoon when temperatures often sit between 50 and 60 degrees, and you don&rsquo;t expect rain for at least 24 to 48 hours. Avoiding direct sunlight in the peak afternoon hours can help reduce the risk of curing too quickly, as can avoiding pouring on hot summer days. Colder temperatures and rain can lead to slower curing times and weaken the concrete. If in doubt, especially if your concrete will provide structural stability, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-hire-a-concrete-contractor.htm">hire a contractor</a> to determine the best time to pour.</p></div>

Q: What building materials are in Federal architecture?

• <div><p>The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.</p></div>
