In Elkin's climate, concrete typically takes 24-48 hours before you can walk on it, and 7 days before light vehicle traffic. Full cure takes approximately 28 days. During hot summers, we take extra precautions to prevent rapid drying, while in cooler months we may use accelerators or blankets to ensure proper curing.

Most concrete driveways, patios, and sidewalks in Elkin don't require permits unless they affect drainage or are part of a larger construction project. However, foundation work and structural concrete typically require permits from Surry County. We handle all permit requirements and inspections as part of our service.

The ideal time for concrete work in Elkin is spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) when temperatures are moderate. We can work year-round with proper techniques - using retarders in summer heat and accelerators or heated blankets during colder months. Avoid pouring when temperatures drop below 40°F or exceed 90°F.

To maintain your Elkin concrete driveway: 1) Seal it every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and stains, 2) Clean oil spills promptly, 3) Avoid using de-icing salts in winter - use sand instead, 4) Fill small cracks early before they expand, 5) Keep it clean with regular sweeping and occasional pressure washing. Proper maintenance can extend your driveway's life to 30+ years.
