What happens here

After screeding and applying retarder (if used), use a bull float to further smooth and level the concrete surface. The bull float is a long, wide tool attached to a long handle, allowing workers to reach across the entire slab without stepping on it. This process pushes down aggregate, brings fine cement paste to the surface (the 'cream'), and removes minor imperfections.

Goal: Smooth and further level the concrete surface.
