Spring into action: Why spring is the perfect time to start your concrete projects

As the days get longer and the frost melts away, spring offers the ideal conditions for getting stuck into construction and landscaping projects. We know that when the weather turns, so does the pace of work. Ready mix concrete plays a key role in helping builders, homeowners, and landscapers hit the ground running.

Why spring is the season for concrete

Spring’s milder temperatures create optimal conditions for pouring and curing concrete. Unlike the colder winter months, where you have to plan more around cold snaps and consider slower curing curing times, spring can be a great time to get cracking on your projects (although there’s always the great british weather to contend with regardless of season, so it’s still worth avoiding days with a rainy forecast).
