Can You Pour Concrete in Cold Weather?
Updated: Sep 6
Cold weather doesn't necessarily mean your concrete project has to wait until spring.
Ready-mix concrete can be placed during colder months, but cold temperatures create additional considerations for the contractor placing and protecting the concrete.
Cold Weather Requires Extra Planning
Cold temperatures can affect a concrete project, so cold-weather pours may require additional planning.
The contractor responsible for placing and finishing the concrete should determine appropriate site preparation, placement, protection and curing requirements based on the project and conditions.
Talk With Your Contractor Before the Pour
If colder weather is expected, discuss the project and weather conditions with your contractor before scheduling your concrete delivery.
Ordering Concrete During Cold Weather
Becker & Scrivens supplies ready-mix concrete throughout the year from our Hillsdale, Michigan and Montpelier, Ohio locations.
