Did you know that if you know what you’re doing you can pour concrete almost all year round?
That is if the general air temperature is between 10° C and 32° C you should be safe. There are other factors that might determine the outcome like wind and humidity along with water temp have an effect on pouring concrete in less than favorable conditions.
Cold Weather
Temperatures below 0° C should be left until warmer weather or best recommendation would be to hire a pro. Concrete sets slower in colder temperatures so the key to getting it right is to make sure the concrete sets fast.
Here is a cold weather tip to get your concrete set right, use hot water. You could always use a fast setting concrete to pour you your slab but if you really want it done right call someone who does it for a living.
Give us call or email us for more information on how we can get that late summer concrete project done right.
What is the first thing a potential home buyer sees when they view a property? The driveway. They will either park in it or walk up it as they approach the home. If you think a cracked and pitted driveway doesn’t matter to a potential buyer you would be wrong.
Here is what one agent had to say.
“A new concrete driveway will greatly increase your home’s curb appeal. Better curb appeal can speed the sale of your home. It may be an upgrade that will not increase the value of your home but without repair it might cause your house to not sell at all.”
Hardscapes Inc. is expert at repairing cracked and pitted driveways and garage floors. Don’t wait until your house is up for sale to get the job done.

No matter how much care you take with your concrete driveway it will eventually start to wear.
If your home was built in the last fifty years your driveway, and probably your walkway, are built with concrete. These outdoor features of your home need to be made of materials that are durable and long lasting, and concrete fits the bill.
What do you do when signs of aging start to appear? Whether it’s pitting due to oil or other petroleum products leaking from vehicles onto the surface, or from shifting soil that leaves cracks in the cement where grass and weeds can grow, your driveway can become an ugly welcome home.
If your driveway is looking like it may need to be jack-hammered out and re-poured that can be a big expense.
Here’s the good news, don’t just put a bandage on it, there is another solution. Concrete resurfacing is a way to bring those aging concrete walks and drives back to life.
Its spring and we all know what that means, time to pull out the lawn furniture and clean up all the stones, mud, salt and whatever else your vehicle has deposited over the winter.
That’s not the worst part though. What are you going to do about those nice big cracks in the concrete left from the big temperature swings here in Alberta?
Don’t try to patch them up with some concrete sealer you got from the local hardware store. Save time and money and call Hardscapes Inc. for an estimate on how to beautify, protect and fix your nasty garage floor.
