We had our deck poured two weeks ago. I know it can sometimes take a few weeks for the concrete to fully dry and “bleach” out. Is this blotchiness normal from people who have had new concrete decks poured?

If I recall correctly mine looked like that before it dried out and cured. Its been close to 12 years now so its kind of hard to remember?

The color is probably normal. I had a concrete patio poured last year (albeit in early Spring with colder weather) and I was disappointed with color at first (blotchy and dark for a few weeks). It has bleached out pretty nicely though. I think you're on schedule!
Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured as much. Honestly in bright sunlight it really don’t look as drastic. Just wanted to make sure there isn’t anything I can do / should be concerned about. I know concrete is tricky due to all the factors like mixing, dry rates, temps, etc.
