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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
