Summer Heat Is Hard on Concrete
Most people don't realize July is the trickiest month to pour concrete.
When it's 90° out, concrete cures too fast. Water evaporates before the slab has a chance to gain strength — and that's how you end up with hairline cracks, dusty surfaces, and a driveway that looks tired in three years instead of thirty.
Here's how we handle it:
Early morning pours, before the heat sets in
Adjusted mix design for hot-weather conditions
Keeping the surface damp while it cures, not just walking away
Concrete is chemistry. Weather is part of the recipe.
