Can you use self-leveling concrete in the garage?

• <div><p>Self-leveling concrete is the best option for your garage floor since it guarantees an even surface in the end. However, most garage floors weren’t made with self-leveling concrete. You don’t need to fully replace the garage floor to use self-leveling concrete. A quarter-to-half-inch of self-leveling concrete on top of your existing floor will be sufficient for a smooth and even finish.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you over-trowel concrete?

• <div><p>If you over-trowel concrete, it will be difficult for moisture to move through it. For this reason, it may be worthwhile to hire a professional, especially if you don&rsquo;t have the advanced knowledge and techniques required to avoid this issue. </p></div>

Q: What is concrete discoloration?

• <div><p>Concrete discoloration is when some or all of the concrete has a different color than its intended shade. It could be dirty, stained, or have issues from installation, such as improper curing or inconsistent finishing. You can fix concrete discoloration in various ways, such as cleaning the surface, painting it, or resurfacing it. To prevent concrete discoloration, hire a pro who has experience with your type of project, whether it&rsquo;s a garage floor, patio, or porch.</p></div>

Q: How thick should pervious concrete be?

• <div><p>Pervious concrete should be between 4 and 8 inches thick to drain water properly. Surfaces like parking lots and driveways should be at least 6 inches thick to accommodate the weight of vehicles, while patios and walkways may be poured between 4 and 6 inches thick. There&rsquo;s no standard for pervious concrete thickness, but in most cases, the more weight the surface will need to hold, the thicker it should be. </p></div>

Q: What is the longest-lasting driveway material?

• <div><p>With an average lifespan of 30 years, concrete driveways last the longest of any material on the market. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s the go-to choice for most contractors throughout the nation. Gravel driveways can also last up to 30 years but require much more maintenance&mdash;and regularly buying and adding more gravel&mdash;to make it that long. </p></div>

Jason listens! He tried very hard to do exactly as we requested. He removed the swimming pool, totally removed all the concrete and debris associated with the removal, then filled and cleaned up the entire area. We are highly satisfied.

This is the second time that we have hired Mark to install a mailbox for us. (We live in a rural area, where mailboxes get destroyed by vandals). He dug up the old mailbox post (which was not easy, as it was cemented into the ground). I purchased the mailbox and post. He un-boxed and assembled...
