FAQ
Is concrete the same thing as cement?
No. Cement is one of three ingredients that make up concrete. The three ingredients are water, aggregate (sand or stone), and Portland Cement.
Can I add color to my patio or have it stamped to look like pavers?
Yes. Color dyes can be added to the concrete during the pour or applied as a stain afterwards. We also have the ability to do a variety of stamped patterns (i.e. cobblestone, ashler slate, etc.).
Why does concrete crack?
Cracking can occur for two reasons: (1) The groundwork under the concrete settles or moves due to frost or lack of compaction resulting in the concrete moving. Since concrete is rigid, the movement usually results in a crack. (2) More common are shrinkage cracks. Water, an additive of concrete, evaporates as the concrete hardens causing the concrete to lose some of its mass creating shrinkage cracks. However, control joints can be cut or formed to control where the shrinkage cracks occur. When reinforcement is added (rebar or fibermesh), most cracks tend to be nothing more than superficial.
