Concrete Paving FAQs

It’s our goal to make sure you fully understand our products and processes prior to starting your concrete project.

1. What is concrete made of?

Concrete is a mixture of portland cement, water, coarse and fine aggregates, and chemical additives.

2. What is the best outdoor temperature range to pour concrete?

In general, the optimum air temperature to pour concrete should be between 50° F and 90° F. You can safely place concrete outside of those limits with a few extra precautions.

3. How long does concrete take to cure?

Depending on the weather and other environmental conditions the curing time of concrete can vary. Generally, after 7 days, it is considered to be cured. The full strength can take about a month.

4. Is concrete cracking normal?

Concrete is rigid, so it is likely to crack during freeze/thaw conditions. This is perfectly normal and small cracks won’t compromise the concrete’s strength.

5. Why is jointing important?

Beyond aesthetics, jointing has many purposes including improving long-term durability. Some of the best concrete projects have been achieved with proper jointing patterns, completed at the correct time of placement with proper tools and without secondary reinforcement.

6. How much does concrete cost?

Each project has variable costs that are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Some of the factors affecting price include pavement thickness, nature of preparation (if removal of the existing pavement is needed), the cost of materials, how elaborate the installation is, and the size of the project.

7. How long will concrete pavement last?

The lifespan of concrete pavement is 20-40 years on average.

8. Does concrete require maintenance?

Concrete is fairly durable on its own, however, there are some things you can do to ensure that it stays in good shape. Foregoing the application of deicing chemicals during the winter and cleaning your concrete regularly throughout the year are two of the best concrete maintenance practices.
