Frequently asked questions
Why does concrete crack?
Concrete shrinks as it cures and can crack at joints or weak points. Proper base prep, reinforcement, control joints, and curing reduce the risk.
How long before I can drive on a new driveway?
Cure time depends on the mix, weather, and thickness. The contractor should give you a specific timeline before you use it.
Can a cracked patio be repaired?
Some cracks can be sealed or resurfaced; larger structural cracks or settling may need removal and replacement. A contractor can assess the cause.
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes. Water pressure behind a wall is a common cause of failure. Proper drainage, backfill, and reinforcement are essential.
