Concrete Process
- Concrete is Broken out and hauled away
- 4" 21aa stone base in laid and compacted underneath your new concrete to provide a stable base and drainage.
- Re-bar - We install #3 rebar on all projects which helps with Michigan's cold and fluctuating winter temperatures this is installed at our standard 36" grid and wire tied at all cross sections
- Synthetic Fiberglass is mixed into the concrete mix on all broom finish to help add plasticity and help prevent concrete shrinkage.
- The concrete is screeded flat to grades set by us for proper runoff
- We bull float the concrete to push the aggregate down and create a smooth surface in preparation for finishing.
- The edges are tooled to create a nice rolled edge.
- We wait for the bleed water to stop.
- The concrete slab is then finished with magnesium trowels and steel trowels to give it a perfect flat finish.
- Finally a light broom finish is applied to the concrete for a non-slip surface.
- 24 hours later we return to saw cut control joints and remove form work.
- Final clean-up and Power washing is preformed
