Should I add reinforcements for my new concrete slab?

• <div><p>Whether or not you need reinforcements for your concrete slab depends on the thickness, what you’ll use the slab for, and the climate and soil conditions in your area. Adding reinforcements increases the strength and durability of your concrete slab, so it’s ideal for load-bearing slabs like driveways and home foundations. It can also help reduce the risk of cracking in extreme climates and areas that see excessive soil movement. Speak with your professional to determine if your project requires reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between masonry and concrete?

• <div><p>Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-concrete.htm">Types of concrete</a> applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.</p></div>

Q: Does a paved driveway add value to a home?

• <div><p>A paved driveway adds <b>$5,000 to $7,000</b> to the value of your home. That&rsquo;s because it increases your curb appeal and the functionality of your outdoor space, which appeals to potential buyers.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to pour and finish concrete surfaces?

• <div><p>Usually 2-3 days, plus additional curing time before full use.</p></div>

Q: Does a concrete driveway need rebar?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no legal requirement that states that you need rebar in a concrete driveway, but since the slab will be supporting heavy vehicle loads, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to pay a bit more for rebar reinforcement. Your driveway will be much more likely to crack if you don&rsquo;t reinforce it with rebar. Driveways that need to support commercial vehicles or provide parking for multiple vehicles at once should always include rebar reinforcement. If you&rsquo;re <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-concrete-over-asphalt.htm">pouring concrete over asphalt</a> or pouring concrete over an existing slab, you may not have enough depth for rebar, meaning an increased risk of cracking. </p></div>

We have had a need for masonry work five times over the 27 years we have owned our home. The last mason (the fourth we had tried), who came last year to replace two broken concrete slabs and sections of our front stairs, did such a sloppy job that the areas looked worse than they did before he...
