Q: Should I reinforce new concrete?

• <div><p>If you're planning to lay new concrete over an old demolition site, reinforcements may be a good idea for larger builds, such as patios, decks, and concrete slabs. Concrete that exceeds 6 inches of thickness is often reinforced. It will cost more to lay but will give your new structure a solid foundation. </p></div>

Q: 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: What type of concrete stain is best?

• <div><p><b>Acid-based concrete stain</b> is generally considered the best option because it lasts about four times as long and penetrates the deepest into concrete to give richer, full-bodied colors. If you prefer more vibrant colors, though, many water-based concrete stains are available that could provide a solution you can't find from earth-toned acid-based solutions.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to Pour Concrete Over Asphalt?

• <div><p>You can pour concrete over asphalt if it&rsquo;s in good condition, thick, stable, and well-compacted. Concrete is more durable than asphalt and can extend the lifetime of your driveway without having to pay frequent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asphalt-driveway-repair-cost.htm">asphalt driveway repair costs</a> or replace it completely. </p><p>But this is best reserved as a temporary solution based on budget restraints, as asphalt requires more frequent repairs and assessments than concrete. Once that concrete top is poured, it&rsquo;ll be harder to accurately understand what&rsquo;s happening beneath that layer, which could lead to more issues.</p></div>

Q: Can you pressure wash rust off concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, pressure washers can remove rust stains from concrete. However, when coupled with an acid treatment, they can be even more effective. Just be sure to use a minimum of a 15-degree nozzle to prevent damage to the surface, and users must also be careful not to get in the way of the pressure washer&rsquo;s jet as they can cut through skin and cause injury. </p></div>

Every single time, they have earned a perfect score on all aspects of their service. VERY honest about telling me when something really does not need repair or it is too soon for routine maintenance. I have sent others to Hill 'N Dale, and was happy that others reported the same level of service.
