With the weather getting cooler and drier every day, now is the perfect time to finish off your list of home improvements before winter rolls in. The weather is especially helpful during outdoor projects, as most materials need temperate conditions to properly cure. If you’re looking to make some last-minute updates to your home and impress your guests over the holiday season, the following ready-mix concrete ideas are sure to fit the bill.

3 Ready-Mix Concrete Pouring Projects That Are Perfect for Fall

1. Patio

There’s still plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors before snow covers the ground, but you’ll need a safe, attractive patio space on which to do so at home. Whether you’re bobbing for apples, roasting marshmallows, or just enjoying your morning coffee, a freshly poured surface will lay the foundation for the season’s festivities. To personalize your patio, inquire about the various possibilities of concrete stamping and staining. With these techniques, you can even imitate other materials like natural stone.

2. Walkways

However, slick surfaces can become twice as dangerous in the winter, when melted snow and humidity create an icy sheen. Fortunately, you can resurface your walkways with ready-mix concrete and have it textured for added grip. This also allows you the chance to repair cracks and potholes that could cause trips and falls.

3. Retaining Walls

If you’re an avid gardener, your landscape might benefit from a retaining wall. This hardscaping feature serves to prevent erosion from runoff and wind, and it will keep your plantings in place so they can develop strong roots. However, they need time to settle into the land. By using ready-mix concrete to complete this project in the fall, you can ensure your garden is settled in time for the spring planting season.
