Q: Can I remove concrete myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small areas, but professional services ensure safe, efficient removal with minimal dust and debris.</p></div>

Q: Can you dry pour concrete over existing concrete?

• <div><p>You can dry <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-over-concrete.htm">pour concrete over existing concrete</a>, but it&rsquo;s best to use wet pour concrete instead. Dry pour concrete is easier to apply, but in order for new concrete to adhere to old concrete, it needs the right mixture for slow, uniform curing. Additionally, dry pour concrete is less durable and less resistant to cracking and concrete sinking, so dry pouring over an existing slab may result in surface imperfections appearing prematurely.</p></div>

Q: Is asphalt better than concrete for driveways?

• <div><p>There are quite a few differences between concrete and asphalt. Concrete is more costly up front and more challenging to repair. Asphalt does better in cold climates and works well with radiant heat systems. Porous asphalt is also excellent for wet climates, as it allows the water to drain away. However, it does get unpleasantly hot in the summer and requires more maintenance than concrete. </p></div>

Q: What is the best base for a floating deck?

• <div><p>One of the best base materials for a floating deck is a layer of gravel or compacted paver base to promote drainage and stability. Additionally, using concrete deck blocks or similar supports helps evenly distribute the weight and keep the structure level. These base materials help minimize moisture buildup, reducing shifting and rotting. </p></div>

Q: How long do concrete steps last?

• <div><p>With proper maintenance, exterior concrete steps can last 25 to 50 years or more. In most cases, your steps will require some minor repairs over that time frame, including sealing surface cracks and resurfacing to keep them in good condition. Interior concrete steps should last even longer, normally between 50 and 75 years, as they don&rsquo;t have to stand up to the elements.</p></div>
