Does grass grow through concrete?

• <div><p>While most of the grass below newly poured concrete will die, some will grow through the cracks and around its edges with ease. Some grasses and weeds can even widen hairline cracks in your foundation, particularly the inevitable <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-cracks-in-concrete.htm">concrete cracks</a> that form during the curing process. This is just one of the reasons it's best to remove grass before laying concrete.</p></div>

What are the downsides of polished concrete floors?

• <div><p>Polished concrete floors also have downsides. Some homeowners, for example, might dislike the coldness of the material (though area rugs can help warm up the space). Concrete floors are also hard, which isn’t always ideal for children and pets. What’s more, these floors are susceptible to cracking, and repairs can be costly. Some homeowners might not like that installation isn’t DIY-friendly. </p></div>

Q: How long does a concrete patio last on average?

• <div><p>A concrete patio lasts an average of 30 years, but the length of life you&rsquo;ll get from yours depends largely on the climate. In harsh conditions, including excessive rainfall and snowfall, a concrete patio may only last for 15 years. In a moderate climate and with non-expansive, supportive soil below, a concrete patio could last for up to 50 years.</p></div>

Q: What is the best concrete crack sealer?

• <div><p>You have different options depending on the scale of repair needed. If you are repairing minor cracks that are between &frac14; inch to 1.5 inch wide and less than half an inch deep, a self-leveling polyurethane sealant would be your best choice. Polyurethane sealants dry to the touch within one to two hours. Since they come in a tube applier, you also have the option to complete the repair without emptying out your garage.</p></div>

Q: How do the size and features of a concrete floor influence its installation price?

• <div><p>Costs depend on floor size, finish type, and additional features like in-floor heating.</p></div>

Alex and his team were great to work with. He kept his word on his work, and had the job done by the given date. He expanded our concrete patio and then stained it. We are happy with the work that he did. He was also available via phone and in person if we had any questions or concerns.

Crew was very professional and respectful of my property and existing landscaping. Subs that poured the new concrete pad did an excellent job in framing the forms; fell short on the cleanup though. I found at least 6-8 large nails from the forms left in the dirt along the new pad and a styrofoam...
