Understanding Ohio's Masonry Season
Ohio's weather directly impacts when masonry work can be done. Here's what you need to know to plan your project.
The Ideal Season: Late Spring to Early Fall
April through October is the prime season for masonry work in Ohio. Here's why:
- Mortar needs temperatures above 40°F to cure properly
- Rain delays work but is manageable during warmer months
- Consistent temperatures ensure proper mortar bonding
