Maintenance:

Exterior Concrete Slabs & Care:

  • Placing exterior slabs is not recommended when freezing conditions could occur within 28 days of the pour.
  • Avoid using salt, calcium chloride, fertilizers, commercially prepared de-icing chemicals, or any products that increase freeze/thaw cycles on concrete surfaces.
  • Freeze/thaw cycles cause the concrete surface to flake or scale off, which is not covered by any warranty.
  • Proper curing and annual fall application of a concrete sealer is critical to reducing this damage.
  • For safety, Joe & Sons Ready Mix recommends using clean traction sand where conditions are icy.
