This video will show you when to start finishing concrete after you pour it.
If you're pouring a concrete sidewalk, patio, walkway, pool deck, or driveway, this video will teach you when to start edging, mag floating, and broom finishing the concrete.
Finishing concrete at the right time will be the difference between a really nice looking job and a not so nice looking job.
Knowing when to start is a matter of understanding how concrete reacts to a number of different factors.
Some of those factors are air temperature, how wet or dry you pour the concrete, sub-base material, if the concrete is in the sun or shade, just to name a few.
In the video I show you how to check the concrete and what to look for before you start your concrete finishing process. Starting too early or too late can have a big impact on how hard you have to work and how good or bad the final outcome is.

Yeah, very nice. The hacks that did the concrete around my inground pool here in Rochester NY were a disgrace. High spots, low spots, puddles, kids scrape their knees getting out. He broomed with a big hard bristled push broom way too soon and it is so rough you can't even kneel down on it to pull out the skimmer basket. Butchers. Oh, no edge either, it's just an ugly rough finish all the way around on the outside.....

Mike Day you have the best concrete videos. At first I shied away from your videos because the first one I watched you and your guys were floating the floor of a large commercial building (It was your video on pouring concrete in cold weather) and I figured they were a little too advanced for me. I'm glad I checked out some more though because your videos have been immensely helpful to me in several projects. I wish that I lived in Maine so I could ask you to hire me, because you seem like you would be a great guy to work for. Many thanks.

Love your videos Mike! I’ve been pouring for decades, but only say a few times a year, so these are great to brush up ( or rake up ) on the skills! Had a pour yesterday winter in London, had it poured and levelled at 14:00, still to wet at 22:00 let’s say it was over late one, but last good day before Christmas. Client came out at 23:55 to check all was ok😂!

It's interesting to see how different techniques are used in other parts of the country. I always use an edger with a pole and I've never broomed before using a fresno or trowel. Looks like it works well for you.
@jeffnorbert1871
@jeffnorbert1871 9 ай бұрын
That's called a "walking edger". Additionally a skinny little edger like he used in the video is something I would only use on curved edges or what might be called detail work. 6 inch wide edger is the tool most who aren't playing use. Most finishers I've seen use both a mag and a "pool trowel". A finishing trowel but with rounded corners instead of square. Some work doesn't really even need to be "finished". Parking lots for example. Strike it, bullfloat, edge and joint and then brush it. All depends on what the intended use and desired appearance is. A nice patio slab takes more work.

I’ve worked on two skeleton crews doing driveways, patios, and sidewalks. My uncle is always very adamant about pulling the wire up as concrete is being poured on that given section. The other crew I was with did not seem to prioritize it. I’m always thankful when we do a tear out and wire isn’t involved. The worst was working around a pool, boy that sucked. I’ve always found enjoyment in this work. I work in the oil field as a boilermaker, but am also venturing out into other avenues within it to beef up the resume, however I do concrete during the off seasons with the turnaround circuit. One thing I will say about the concrete trade is badass finishers seem to be a dying breed unless you go Union where guys are willing to really teach you, and the rare occasion guys nowadays want to stick with it long enough to make a real career out of it. Some very fulfilling work at the end of a job though, I love seeing the finished product. Proud to have worked with guys that really know their stuff so the customer is happy. Nice video.

like the videos and just have one question, after the forms are removed which is the case in my new driveway and sidewalk, they left a 4-6" trench around the slab and sidewalk, what is going to prevent water from going under the driveway and sidewalk and washing it away over time? I have been combing over your videos and haven't found an answer.

I really enjoy your videos, and have learned a great deal. I now have the confidence to try a few small projects, and I'm getting better every time. My one question is what is the primary difference between bull floating and mag float? I haven't invested in a bull float yet because I'm doing small jobs, but it seems like they are very similar?

The hand float and the bull float are both usually made of Magnesium. I think Mike is used to saying "mag" as short for Magnesium. Around my area the small ones are called hand floats.

I have been taught that you want to lightly cut the edge in as soon as you finish running the bullfloat on it. To at least get the edge pushed in if it starts to set up or if we are short on people. Thoughts?
