What's the Difference Between Cement and Concrete?

Cement is actually an ingredient of concrete. Concrete is a mixture of aggregates and paste — the aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone, and the paste is water and portland cement. Think of it this way: cement is to concrete as flour is to cake.

How Do You Control the Strength of Concrete?

The ratio of water to cement is the biggest determining factor in the strength of concrete. The lower the ratio, the stronger the finished product. It is essential to have the proper mixture depending on the application and the specific requirements of each project.

What Is Proper Concrete Curing, and Why Is It Important?

Curing is a determining factor in the overall strength and durability of your concrete surfaces. The hydration process occurs through a chemical reaction with water. Proper curing through misting and moisture retention makes your concrete significantly stronger and longer-lasting.

What Is a Concrete Sealer, and How Is It Applied?

A concrete sealer protects your surface from damage and staining by creating an impermeable layer. Typically, two coats are applied — a penetrating sealer followed by a topical sealer. This also provides a visual enhancement of colors and extends the life of your concrete.

Is Concrete Installation Affected by Weather?

Yes, during extreme temperatures additional measures may be needed to ensure proper installation. The curing process requires specific moisture and temperature conditions. We take precautions to protect the concrete from damage during colder or hotter installation periods.

Will Concrete Crack?

When installed properly, concrete is one of the most durable and long-lasting products. To prevent cracking, it's crucial to have professionals who follow proper procedures every step of the way. Due to natural expansion and contraction, minor cracking can occur — that's what Mountain Top Concrete, Inc. is here for.

Do Concrete Cracks Indicate a Structural Problem?

It depends on the severity and behavior of the cracks. Some only need to be repaired with bonding agents to prevent further spreading. It's important to have any damaged concrete assessed by a professional to determine the cause and take care of it immediately.

Why Is Concrete Better Than Asphalt for My Driveway?

Concrete is much more resistant to acid and gasoline than asphalt, and it lasts significantly longer. While asphalt may have a lower upfront cost, the decorative options and longevity of concrete make it a highly versatile and affordable choice for any project.

Does Concrete Have to Be Grey?

Not at all! While standard concrete uses Portland cement which is grey, the mixture can be modified with pigments and coloring methods to achieve virtually any color you desire. We offer a wide range of decorative color options.

Does Concrete Need Ongoing Maintenance?

Maintaining your concrete will significantly extend its lifecycle and improve your curb appeal. Regular cleaning, debris removal, and occasional power washing are the primary maintenance procedures needed to keep your concrete looking great for years.
