Tips for a successful concrete pour:
Preparation of subsurface soils is very important, specially, if you have expansive soils.
The concrete slab should be sloped for proper drainage.
Pouring during extreme temperatures should be avoided.
During the pour, the adding of water should be kept to a minimum.
The mix design should be specified.
For a driveway, use larger aggregate. It will be less likely to crack and perform better long term.
We like to use the higher PSI special mix designs to better resist corrosive soils.
Proper reinforcing steel spacing and perimeter clearances should be a top priority.
Post pour curing is recommended for a minimum of seven days.
