  • čas přidán 6. 11. 2023
  • In this video I just wanted to show in real time each step that I take to free-hand a decorative flower pattern into this new concrete patio.
    I used a 6 sack Meramec mix (1\2 - 5\8 aggregate) poured at a 5-6 in. slump.
    Then jitterbugged to knock the rocks down a little before floating.
    Thanks for watching!

    There's nothing more respectable than a man that can strike a balance between striving for perfection in his job and effectiveness, all the while avoiding becoming obsessive and dogmatic about methods.

    Another reason why I love the concrete industry getting popular on social media. So many of you guys are becoming friends throughout the country from social media. Sharing ideas. Just like you said, you got this idea from some guy in California you became friends with. Very cool.

    I think what would put it over the top if you put the veins on the mats in line with your flower petals instead of crossing over the lines it would add a whole different depth to your flower petals it was absolutely gorgeous the only thing that stuck out to me was when the vain crossed the top of the flower pedal but that’s 110% buds
