Impressive Concrete Finishing
On our latest job we aren’t doing any decorative… but we are doing alot of concrete. Some very nice folks in Chickasha, OK called Impressive Restorations to add 8 more yards of concrete to their back patio. That’s 60 feet long by 10 feet wide, four inches deep. In addition to that, we are powerwashing and retopping all of thier existing concrete and stain sealing it all the same color. When finished, it will all look new. Just gray. But all the same color and it will stay that way.
On Monday, we used a monolithic pour method of adding the concrete to the back patio. We formed it up so that we have two levels, reinforced it with rebar to join it to the existing slab, and then we poured it all at the same time. (Monolithic, big word for pouring all at one time.) There were four of us to finish it in this August Oklahoma heat, which means it wants to set up fast. One finisher was a friend who was a rookie. You learn real fast when that concrete is shooting out of a pump truck hose lickety split. Thanks for hanging in there Alex! We screeded, leveled, and smoothed out the top of the concrete, and Alex learned how to do the edges. Got some shots of Daniel using trowels to get out onto the concrete as it’s setting up.
More photos to come on this job. We are topping it all with an overlay, mortaring brick on the edge and surfacing the front edge and a step all in brick as well. Then overlaying the front walk, the pad in front of the garage, and all the back patio area. To finish we will stain seal all the concrete surfaces around this home.
