Amazing Stamped Concrete Job Start to Finish...Design, footings, Cost?

What happens here

The colored concrete is discharged from the mixer truck's chute onto the apron area. Workers use concrete rakes (lutes) to manually spread the concrete evenly across the surface. A screed (a long, straight edge tool) is then used by two workers to level the concrete to the desired height and achieve initial flatness. This ensures a consistent thickness and prepares the surface for subsequent finishing steps. The concrete appears as a brown/tan color at this stage.

Goal: The integrally colored concrete is poured onto the prepared area and manually spread using rakes and screeds to create an even surface.

[Music] we're kind of going to step out of their way a little bit let them get their job done right here guys you can see that the concrete is not gray it is brown okay it's like a tan color it will change a little bit as it dries which is pretty cool too we decided on this color because it was again more natural it just looked natural when you do some kind of crazy off color it just doesn't look very natural we wanted it to kind of match the building and the rock formations here on the farm [Music] oh guys we're putting rebar in right here just a little piece to keep it from cracking off the corner right there a little trade secret
