Concrete and Asphalt

Concrete and asphalt are strong, long-lasting construction materials made up of binders and aggregates like rock, sand, and gravel. Prior to application, concrete and asphalt are mixed in a flexible, semi-viscous state. They harden into a durable solid form after setting, making them suitable for new construction projects like sidewalks, driveways, and roads, as well as maintenance and repair jobs like patching and tuckpointing. Concrete is a strong and durable building material made up of Portland cement and gravel that is widely used to place posts and pour foundations. Mortar is used to construct and repair brick and block walls, as well as to fill cracks and gaps in concrete and masonry walls. It is weaker, holds more water, and has a larger air content than concrete
