How thick should you pour concrete over existing concrete?

• <div><p>Concrete should be at least 2 inches thick to maintain its stability and quality. Most concrete slabs fall between 4 and 6 inches thick, but you should be careful not to make the new slab too high or heavy. If you're considering a stamped concrete overlay, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-tips-hire-best-stamped-concrete-contractor.htm">hire an experienced stamped concrete contractor</a> to determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-thick-should-a-concrete-patio-be.htm">ideal concrete thickness</a>. </p></div>

Q: How many 50-pound bags of concrete do I need for a fence post?

• <div><p>The number of concrete bags you'll need depends on the width and length of your fence post hole. A 50-pound bag makes about 0.375 cubic feet of concrete. So, if your hole is 30 inches deep and 12 inches wide, you'll probably need around five 50-pound bags for each post.</p></div>

Q: Can I pour the concrete myself after delivery?

• <div><p>DIY pouring is feasible but requires expertise in leveling and finishing to ensure structural integrity and aesthetic quality.</p></div>

Q: Can I drive on concrete after 7 days?

• <div><p>Yes, you can drive on concrete after seven days. While doing so, take extra care around the edges of the freshly poured concrete surface, as these areas may not be as strong as the main concrete surface. You should also avoid driving heavy trucks and machinery on new concrete until it&rsquo;s fully cured, 28 days after it&rsquo;s poured.</p></div>

Q: Which is better, asphalt or concrete?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-asphalt-vs-concrete-driveway.htm">Asphalt and concrete have their pros and cons</a>, but it really depends on your priorities. If you&rsquo;re looking for durability, concrete&rsquo;s your best bet, lasting up to 50 years with minimal upkeep. Asphalt, on the other hand, needs more TLC with regular resealing but is cheaper to install and easier to repair. Concrete also wins in curb appeal and resale value, offering homeowners more customization. But if you&rsquo;re looking for quicker, more affordable installation, asphalt has the advantage. Ultimately, your decision should align with your budget, willingness for maintenance, and design preferences.</p></div>
