Even though the temperatures outside are dropping, there is still time to complete your concrete projects, from a new Pleasant Prairie concrete driveway in to a beautiful Lake Geneva stamped patio.

But don’t wait too long. Winter in Southeast Wisconsin is coming quickly and cold temperatures can adversely affect the concrete mix. Cold temperatures slows the hardening of concrete — and in extreme cases, can freeze the mix — leaving the dried concrete weak and creating hassles in the future.

And concrete cannot be poured over frozen ground. Frozen ground eventually thaws, which will cause the concrete to shift and inevitably crack. If you can’t complete your concrete project this fall, it’s best to wait until spring when the ground thaws thoroughly.

If your concrete project is finished in the fall, it’s best not to use any de-icing agents on the concrete for the first winter.

While temperatures are falling, you can still add durable and long lasting concrete to your home or business to add curb appeal in time for the quick-approaching holiday season.
