LeTendre Concrete & Design

Concrete not placed on footings may experience some rising when ground water freezes. However, it typically settles back into place as the frost leaves the ground.

While we implement extensive measures to prevent cracking, including proper base compaction, reinforcement with rebar, and strategic control joints, concrete is a natural material subject to environmental factors. As such, some cracking may occur despite our best efforts.

To maintain your concrete, promptly remove any fertilizers, snow, or ice buildup. Avoid using de-icing chemicals and opt for sand instead. When removing snow, use a snow blower or shovel rather than a plow. Ensure proper water drainage to designated areas.
