Heat and drying

Summer brings about 54 days at 90°F or hotter, 45 of them in June–August. High temperatures speed up setting and drying, which raises the risk of plastic shrinkage cracks. For a summer pour we schedule outside the hottest part of the day and protect the slab from drying too fast. NRMCA's hot-weather guidance covers retarders, early starts and curing.^[4]

Cold and freeze-thaw

Freezing nights are a regular part of winter in Fulton County, about 41 of them in December–February, but rare outside it. A pour between late fall and early spring may need the cold-weather precautions ACI describes for air temperatures expected below 40°F. For driveways, walks and patios that freeze while wet, NRMCA recommends air-entrained concrete to resist scaling. Our estimates say whether the mix is air-entrained.^{[2, 3]}

With 48 inches of precipitation a year, we plan how fresh concrete gets covered if rain arrives during or soon after the pour, and slope the finished slab to shed water away from the house.
