Concrete is made of water stone and sand and is recycled and reused. Concrete is crushed to produce concrete aggregate. This material is highly suitable for paved sidewalks, economical concrete bases, bridge foundations, curbs, gutters and more. Chris Foss Contractor will remove and haul away old concrete for recycling when installing new concrete on your property.
Everything that comes after the foundation depends upon it. The right foundation begins with a thorough review of the site; soil type and condition are important in determining how much moisture will be present and if drainage will be an issue. A review of local building codes is done, and building loads are determined by consulting the construction plans. Traditional poured concrete walls and footings are still common. Insulated Concrete Form or ICF foundations are durable and more energy efficient and are a trend worth considering for your new construction.
