What is the Best Time of Year to Pour Concrete in Oregon?

If you're planning a concrete project in Oregon, whether it’s a new driveway, patio, walkway, or slab foundation—timing is everything. The Pacific Northwest’s unique weather plays a big role in how well your concrete sets, cures, and performs over time. So, what is the best time of year to pour concrete in Oregon? Let’s talk about it.

 

Spring Through Early Fall: The Ideal Concrete Season

Late spring, summer, and early fall (May through October) are typically the best months to pour concrete in Oregon. During this window, the weather is generally more predictable with milder temperatures and less rainfall, which allows concrete to cure properly. For best results, we recommend scheduling your concrete work when daytime temperatures range between 50°F and 75°F, that is an ideal spot for hydration and strength development.

Why Rain Matters (and How We Work Around It)

Rain is one of the biggest challenges for concrete projects in Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, and surrounding Oregon areas. Excessive moisture can weaken the surface, wash away finish textures, and delay the curing process. That’s why at Premiere Concrete LLC, we closely monitor weather forecasts and use professional-grade tarps and covers to protect fresh concrete when unexpected showers roll in.
