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: How to dry concrete quickly?

• <div><p>Use a dehumidifier for indoor concrete and a wet vacuum for outdoor surfaces. Sprinkle absorbent materials like sawdust or cat litter to soak up the remaining moisture. If the concrete is outside, simply wait for a few hot, dry days. If the concrete is inside, make sure you have good ventilation for a few days so that any remaining moisture can completely dry out.</p></div>

Q: Are polished concrete floors worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, polished concrete floors are worth it for homeowners who want durability, style, and low maintenance in one sleek flooring surface. You get the modern visual appeal of stone or tile with far less upkeep and far less cost. Polished concrete flooring is tough enough for high-traffic areas, it&rsquo;s a great choice for people with allergies, and it&rsquo;s easy to clean. If your existing concrete is in good shape, polishing it can give you solid value that shines on for years.</p></div>

Q: Can you remove concrete by hand?

• <div><p>Yes, you can remove concrete by hand with a sledgehammer if the concrete is no more than 4 inches thick. Most patios and sidewalks fit into this category. With concrete deeper than 6 inches, a jackhammer may be necessary to break it up. Only use a jackhammer if you have the proper training and safety equipment.</p></div>

Q: Will concrete set in rain?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pouring-concrete-in-the-rain.htm">concrete can set in rain</a>, but it&rsquo;s best if you pour concrete 4 to 8 hours before any rain to ensure it won&rsquo;t impact its strength and appearance. Exposure to heavy rain during the early stages (the first 48 hours after pouring) can significantly reduce the structural integrity of the concrete. Over time, cracking is more likely due to softer concrete. </p></div>

Starrville Concrete poured a large driveway for me that connected to a large carport slab they also poured. They were easy to do business with and left my yard looking just as good once they were finished. I would recommend them for any concrete needs.
