We get a rush of calls every October from homeowners who suddenly realize winter is right around the corner and want a driveway poured immediately. It makes sense to want the project done before the snow hits, but rushing a concrete job late in the season often leads to disaster. 📉
The reality is that concrete needs a specific amount of heat to cure properly. If a contractor promises they can pour your new driveway during a freezing week without discussing specialized heating blankets, you will likely end up with a surface that chips and peels by April. 🥶
We put together a straightforward guide explaining the temperature limits for concrete and how to spot red flags this fall. 📝
