Concrete Contractor Spring Hill

Some cracking is normal — concrete shrinks as it cures, which is what control joints are for. What is not normal is cracks wider than about a quarter inch, cracks with one side higher than the other, or cracks that keep growing. In Middle Tennessee the usual causes are an inadequate base, clay soil moving with moisture, and freeze-thaw cycling getting into water that has already found a way in.

Square footage, thickness, and site preparation. The pour itself is the visible part; the base — excavation, grading, compacted gravel and reinforcement — determines whether it lasts and is where the cost sits. Removing an existing slab adds demolition and haulage. Decorative finishes such as stamping, staining or exposed aggregate add labor and are priced well above a broom finish.

Walk on it after about twenty-four to forty-eight hours; keep vehicles off for at least seven days, and heavy vehicles off for a month. Concrete reaches most of its strength in the first week but continues curing for weeks after. Driving on it early is the most common way a new driveway ends up with cracks the contractor did not cause.

Repair works for surface cracks, spalling and slabs that have settled but are otherwise sound — settled slabs can often be lifted rather than replaced, which is far cheaper. Replacement is the answer when the slab is broken into multiple pieces, when the base beneath has washed out, or when cracks run all the way through and the sections move independently underfoot.

Below about 40°F the cure slows dramatically and the concrete can be damaged if it freezes before it sets; above about 90°F it cures too fast and cracks. Both are workable with additives, blankets or scheduling around the day, but they change the job. In Middle Tennessee that makes spring and autumn the reliable seasons, with summer pours usually starting early in the morning.
