Winter Concrete Tips: Building in the Cold

Did you know that winter weather can impact how concrete sets and performs?

Whether you’re laying foundations, driveways, or paths, here are some key tips to ensure a strong, durable finish this season:

Keep It Warm: Concrete sets slower in cold temperatures, so consider using thermal blankets or insulated covers to protect it from frost.

Avoid Frozen Ground: Always pour concrete on thawed, stable ground. Frozen surfaces can cause uneven curing and weaken the structure.

Use the Right Mix: Winter-ready concrete mixes, like those with accelerators, can help it set faster and resist freezing.

Timing Matters: Aim to pour concrete during the warmest part of the day to give it the best chance to cure properly.
