As winter comes to a close and the warmth of spring begins to melt the cold, now is the ideal time to evaluate/inspect your property’s outdoor concrete surfaces, including driveways, sidewalks, slabs, and retaining walls. Winter can be tough on concrete, with the freeze-thaw cycle, salt, and heavy moisture taking a toll. As temperatures rise, it's important to focus on concrete maintenance to ensure your concrete surfaces remain in good condition and continue to perform well for years to come.
When winter temperatures dip, concrete pouring requires extra care to ensure durability and performance. Cold weather—defined as below 40°F for more than three consecutive days—can delay setting times, weaken the mix, and lead to costly repairs down the road. Fortunately, by following best practices for cold weather concrete pouring, you can achieve strong, reliable results even in challenging conditions.
