Add Tons of Water to the Concrete Mix — It’ll Be Better!
A common myth is that the more water you add to the concrete mix, the better. In reality, the proper water-to-cement ratio is key to the final result. If you add an incredible and overwhelming amount of water to the mixture, the chances of a surface crack increase dramatically. Always stick to the proper ratio for the best results!
All Concrete Will Crack
Not true! If your concrete structure is improperly installed, used an alarming amount of water (see above), or your concrete contractor did not use common industry practices, your concrete has a high chance of cracking. However, strategically poured and properly mixed concrete will yield a beautiful and sturdy result!
No Maintenance Required
Many homeowners believe that they will never have to maintain their concrete fire pits, concrete outdoor kitchens, and even concrete countertops. While concrete is extremely durable, regular maintenance and other safeguarding steps will protect and preserve your concrete structure.
