Hi there,
About 6 weeks ago, I got some local landscaper to solidly concrete my back garden. To keep the story short, my job looked super. It dried in a couple of days, although on the 2nd day of concreting there was some rain.
After a week or so I noticed some sand. I thought its normal as the concrete might still need time. Its now been 6 weeks and the concrete has a lot of loose sand and I'm thinking if this is normal or has the job been messed up?
My questions are:-
1. Is this normal?
2. If the answer to question 1 is a NO, then could rain have caused this?
3. If the answer to question 1 & 2 is a NO, then could the landscaper have mixed the concrete to a wrong ratio?
any advice would be helpful
thanks!
