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: What are different types of masonry?

• <div><p>Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.</p></div>

Q: Do you need to wet concrete to cut it?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need to wet concrete to cut it, particularly if you are using a dry-cutting blade. However, adding some water can help cut down on concrete dust. If you&rsquo;re using a wet-cutting blade, then yes, you need a constant stream of water on your cutting piece while you&rsquo;re cutting. </p></div>

Q: Is masonry more expensive than concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it&rsquo;s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.</p></div>

Q: How to stop concrete from going green?

• <div><p>The prevention steps are essentially the same, no matter the patio material. Keep the surface clean and maintained. Ensure there's no debris buildup, and cover the whole thing in a quality sealant. If it's the start of a season or it's been a while since you've cleaned the area, use a pressure washer. </p></div>
