FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What size rock do you use?

We use 3/4″ crushed rock. Due to the gradation of the rock, some of the stones are as small as pea gravel.

Do you provide wheelbarrows?

We do not carry wheelbarrows on the truck! Sorry! =(

How long doe sit take for the concrete to set up?

It depends on several different factors, but normally you can walk on it CAREFULLY (No twisting!) in about 12 hours. After 48 hours you can remove the forms, but it’s better to leave them on for a whole week if possible. In 2 weeks you can park a car on your concrete. After 28 days, the concrete reaches its full strength.

How thick should my concrete be?

We recommend at least 4 inches on driveways, patios, sidewalks, and most slabs that we pour.

Do I need to use rebar of fiber mesh?

It depends on the application, but usually for driveways or other heavy-use areas, yes, using rebar and/or mesh helps to reduce cracking.

Do I need to have a gravel base? If so, how deep?

We highly recommend a sturdy gravel base. A base that is compacted and 2-3 inches deep is best.

What does 'air entrainment' do?

Air entrainment means the induction of very small air bubbles into fresh concrete. When the concrete hardens, the air bubbles form small voids, and these voids give concrete additional durability in freezing or thawing conditions.
