The duration of a concrete installation depends on the complexity and size of the project. Generally, a simple patio or driveway may take a few days, including site preparation, pouring, and curing. Larger or more intricate projects may take longer. We provide detailed timelines and updates throughout the process.

Concrete typically takes about 24 to 48 hours to set enough for light foot traffic. However, it requires a full 28 days to achieve its maximum strength. We use sealing and curing techniques to protect the concrete and ensure its durability during this period.

Maintaining concrete surfaces involves regular cleaning and occasional sealing. For exposed aggregate and stamped concrete, we recommend using a mild detergent and water to clean the surface. Re-sealing every 1 to 3 years helps protect against wear and weathering. For specific maintenance advice, feel free to ask our team.

Design changes are possible, but they can affect the project timeline and cost. It’s best to discuss any changes with us as early as possible to understand the implications and make necessary adjustments.
