If the ground under your sidewalk has eroded or sunk from settling it can lead to cracking and most often a sinking of the concrete. This sinking creates depressions where water pools and can lead to other serious issues like pitting and staining.
Adding a layer of concrete is over the existing walk is one way to level the area. You can use anything from just plain old concrete to special cement mixtures that can be applied and stamped or colored right over existing work.
These processes can be tricky and if you’re thinking of coloring or stamping your concrete it is always best to hire an expert.
Hardscapes Inc. has all the necessary skill and equipment to make your sidewalk repair a quick and easy event.
If you recently had concrete work done outdoors like a stamped or textured driveway or sidewalk but didn’t get a chance to have it sealed before the weather turned cold, what should you do?
With unsealed concrete there is always a chance of freeze or thaw damage in colder weather. If the mix was correct you shouldn’t have any problems.
If you get a couple of warmer days it is advisable to get the concrete sealed but the concrete has to be dry for 24 hours before you seal it.
If the temperature remains cold you will have to leave it unsealed until the weather warms and allows for it to be properly sealed.
