Do concrete surfaces require seasonal maintenance?
While concrete requires very little to maintain, there are a few things you can do seasonally that will help extend the life of your concrete surface.
Fall Maintenance:
🍁 Have cracks & gaps caulked/sealed by a professional before the first frost to prevent further damage.
🍂 Be sure to keep leaves and debris swept from the pad to prevent staining.
🍁 Add soil and/or landscaping around concrete surfaces to prevent erosion and settling.
🍂 Clean & Repair gutters to direct water shed away from nearby slabs to prevent undermining and settling.
🍁 Sealing concrete before the temperature drops can provide excellent protection for the upcoming winter months.
Winter Maintenance:
❄️ Avoid using salt as a deicer as it can lead to cracking and flaking of the surface.
⛄️ Shovel Snow to keep the surface as dry as possible to lessen the risk of cracking during the freeze and thaw cycles.
❄️ Inspect any tree or large shrub roots to ensure they are not lifting any surrounding slabs.
