  • What is the ideal season to undertake a concrete project?

    At Southside Concrete Supply, we suggest scheduling your concrete project during the warmer months, usually from late spring to early fall. This timeframe offers the best conditions for curing, as temperatures between 50°F and 90°F are optimal for proper concrete setting.


    In colder weather, curing can take longer, which may result in problems like cracking or reduced strength. If you must work during the cooler months, our team is here to offer guidance on using additives to enhance the curing process.

  • How do I maintain my new concrete driveway?

    To keep your new concrete driveway in top shape, clean it regularly, apply a sealer every 2-3 years, avoid de-icing chemicals in winter, manage weeds, limit heavy loads, and address any cracks quickly. For additional tips, reach out to Southside Concrete Supply!

  • How do I prepare my site for a concrete pour?

    To prepare your site for a concrete pour, begin by clearing debris and vegetation, ensuring proper drainage with graded slopes, and setting up forms to define the shape. Compact the soil for stability, install reinforcement if necessary, and double-check measurements before the pour. For expert advice and materials, contact us.

  • Would weather stop you from pouring concrete?

    Our concrete experts have observed that below-freezing temperatures combined with rain can impact the quality of poured concrete. It's best to schedule your concrete project during warmer weather for optimal results.

  • What are the benefits of choosing concrete over asphalt?

    Opting for concrete instead of asphalt comes with several advantages, such as enhanced durability, a longer lifespan, and lower maintenance costs. Concrete also offers superior resistance to various weather conditions, as well as a smoother, more reflective surface that helps reduce heat absorption and improve safety. Plus, it is less likely to crack or shift, making it a great long-term investment. For more insights, feel free to reach out to us!
