Frequently Asked Questions

The thickness of a concrete slab depends on its intended use. For most residential applications (patios, walkways), 4 inches is standard. Driveways typically require 5-6 inches, while heavy-load areas may need 6-8 inches or more. At Grand Prairie Concrete Pros, we assess each project individually to determine the ideal thickness for your specific needs.
While concrete begins to harden within hours of pouring, full curing takes time:
  • Initial set: 24-48 hours
  • Ready for foot traffic: 3-4 days
  • Ready for vehicle traffic: 7-10 days
  • Full strength: 28 days
We provide specific care instructions to ensure optimal curing and longevity for your concrete slab.
Yes, it’s possible to pour a new concrete slab over an existing one, often called an “overlay.” However, this is only recommended if the existing slab is in good condition without major cracks or settling issues. We thoroughly inspect the existing slab and can recommend the best approach for your specific situation, whether it’s an overlay or a complete replacement.
