Concrete Patio FAQs
How long does a concrete patio take to cure and be usable?
You can usually walk on a new concrete patio after 24 to 48 hours. However, it takes 7 days to reach 70% strength and 28 days to fully cure before heavy use (like placing heavy furniture or vehicles).
What causes concrete patios to crack?
Cracking is primarily caused by improper sub-base preparation (not compacted enough), rapid drying, or not having control joints placed correctly to guide where the concrete contracts.
