  • Why do you recommend colored concrete over stamped?

    We recommend colored concrete over stamped because it allows for a broom finish, which provides better grip. While stamped concrete with textured sealant can become slippery when wet, the broom finish on colored concrete maintains traction in rainy conditions.
  • How soon can you walk on concrete after it's poured?

    The time frame for walking on newly poured concrete varies from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the size of the area poured.
  • How do I maintain my new concrete driveway?

    For winter maintenance of your concrete driveway, we recommend using calcium beads instead of salt. This alternative helps to better preserve the condition of the concrete surface.
  • What is the best season for a concrete project?

    The optimal seasons for concrete projects are early summer, spring, and fall.
  • How soon can I drive on my freshly poured driveway?

    You should wait 7 days before driving on a newly poured concrete driveway. For more information or to start your project, please contact MAAP CONCRETE.

  • Is it necessary to seal concrete?

    While sealing concrete is not strictly necessary, it can significantly enhance the longevity of the surface.
