Is concrete stronger than masonry?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.</p></div>

Can I pour concrete directly on dirt?

• <div><p>It is not advisable to pour concrete directly on dirt. Even compacted soil—known as a subgrade—is not strong enough to maintain the form of concrete. You can, however, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-over-concrete.htm">pour concrete over concrete</a> as long as the overlay has proper bonding agents and the slab below is clear of damage.</p></div>

Q: Can you put thin pavers over a concrete driveway?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put thin pavers over a concrete driveway. However, it's always best to talk to a driveway installer before starting. You'll need to ensure that the concrete below is in good enough shape to hold the pavers and that the driveway will still meet local building codes.</p></div>

Q: Are concrete countertops hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Yes, concrete countertops are harder to maintain than other materials. You don&rsquo;t have to stress about them every single day, but they need to be resealed at least once a year, if not multiple times a year. Concrete also stains easily, so you must clean spills immediately. Avoid harsh, acidic cleaning products, as they can damage the sealant. Finally, concrete is prone to cracking over time, requiring repairs.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain finished concrete?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, reseal every 2-3 years, and avoid abrasive cleaning agents to preserve the finish.</p></div>
