Your Questions, Answered

Find clear answers to the most common questions about our concrete services, installation process, and maintenance options.

What’s the difference between cement and concrete?

Cement is just one ingredient used to make concrete. When mixed with water, sand, and gravel, it creates the durable material we know as concrete — strong enough for driveways, patios, and foundations.

What exactly is concrete made of?

Concrete is a mix of cement, aggregates (like sand or gravel), and water. When combined, they harden through a process called hydration, creating a solid and long-lasting surface.

How do you control concrete strength?

The strength of concrete depends mainly on the water-to-cement ratio. Less water means denser, stronger concrete — ideal for heavy-use areas like driveways and foundations.

Why is proper curing important?

Curing allows concrete to reach its full strength. Keeping it moist and at the right temperature prevents cracks and ensures durability for decades.

What is a concrete sealer and why use it?

A concrete sealer protects the surface from moisture, stains, and cracking. It can also enhance the appearance. We offer both topical and penetrating sealers depending on your needs.

Can concrete installation be affected by weather?

Yes. Cold or hot conditions can affect curing time. Our team uses the right tools and techniques — like heated mixes or insulation blankets — to guarantee a strong, even finish year-round.

How are different concrete strengths achieved?

We adjust mix ratios, aggregate quality, and curing time to reach the perfect balance for each project — from decorative patios to industrial slabs.

Will my concrete crack over time?

Minor cracks can appear naturally due to temperature changes or soil movement. However, professional installation and sealing minimize this risk. We also offer repair and maintenance services.

Do cracks mean structural problems?

Not always. Many cracks are only cosmetic. Still, it’s best to have them inspected early to prevent future damage — our experts can handle both minor and major repairs.

Why choose concrete instead of asphalt for a driveway?

Concrete driveways last longer, look better, and require less maintenance than asphalt. They also allow for decorative finishes like stamping and color, boosting your home’s curb appeal.

How can I remove stains from concrete?

Oil, rust, or tire marks can all be cleaned effectively. Degreasers, vinegar, and poultices work well — but we can also deep-clean and reseal your surface for a brand-new look.

Does concrete require ongoing maintenance?

Concrete is low-maintenance, but regular cleaning and sealing help it last for decades. We recommend pressure washing and resealing every 2–3 years.
