For form or function, the best in concrete pathways

Concrete sidewalks are an accent to your home or place of business so why wouldn’t you want yours to look their best? A lot of times, Complete Concrete is called to repair concrete sidewalks that are breaking down or have extensive cracks or chips when they should have been called from the start to do the job right.

The first thing to know is that concrete is extremely sensitive to water. It doesn’t need much water to create the consistency needed to pour, but adding more water makes it easier to pour. However, by adding more water to make it easier to pour diminishes the concrete’s strength and durability. While the watered down concrete sits, the water evaporates and causes it to shrink. The more water in its mix, the greater the shrinking effects will appear and that’s how cracks appear.

Another important step in concrete sidewalks is using control joints. Control joints are points set up in the project area so the concrete can crack where it’s needed. This can make a big difference of your concrete sidewalks life span.

Using concrete sidewalks allow accessibility and safety into your home or business. Laws require that homes or businesses have a friendly and safe entry points and using concrete sidewalks can accomplish that with ease.
