What is an acceptable moisture level in concrete?

• <div><p>The actual moisture level that is acceptable for your concrete floor depends on what primer or flooring material you plan to install above it. For this reason, you should check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact details.</p><p>Generally, the moisture levels should be 3.5% to 4.5%, although it does vary. Some products can handle higher levels of moisture, so you should always test your concrete before purchasing your flooring materials.</p></div>

Does concrete dry faster in heat or cold?

• <div><p>Concrete dries faster in the heat than in the cold, but when concrete cures too fast, it can cause weak concrete. It’s best to pour concrete when temperatures are between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, watering it five to 10 times per day for seven days (unless you pour concrete in the winter). Slower cure times, such as when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pouring-concrete-in-cold-weather.htm">pouring concrete in cold weather</a>, can cause strong concrete, but you need to monitor the temperature drop and moisture levels. Avoid pouring concrete when temperatures are below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.</p></div>

Q: What is a driveway apron called?

• <div><p>The driveway apron is a technical term referring to where a private driveway meets the public street. If there is a sidewalk in front of the house, the driveway apron is typically on the opposite side of the public sidewalk from the driveway itself. </p></div>

Q: Do you set aluminum fence posts in concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, it's typically best to set aluminum fence posts in concrete. You can technically use a mix of gravel and soil instead, but concrete is more stable and secure. Concrete also lasts longer and does a much better job of withstanding the outdoor elements than a gravel or soil mix.</p></div>

Q: Is fiber concrete good for a driveway?

• <div><p>Fiber concrete can be a good option for a residential driveway that will hold up standard passenger cars. The fibers provide increased flexion over a rebar-reinforced concrete driveway, so you&rsquo;re less likely to see surface cracks. For driveways that need to hold commercial vehicles or multiple vehicles, rebar reinforcement is a better option. Ask a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/concrete-driveways/">concrete driveway company near you</a> which is the best option for your situation.</p></div>

These guys are incredible! Reasonably priced, nice, and, most important, fantastic at what they do. They cut down a huge tree with ease (it was entertaining to watch!!), they were systematic, organized, and they cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Cross Island Tree Service!
