What happens here

Once the concrete has set enough to support a worker on kneeboards, use hand trowels to achieve a very smooth, dense, and finished surface. This involves working the trowel in arcs and circles, ensuring all aggregate is covered and the surface is free of marks. This process is repeated until the desired smoothness is achieved.

Goal: Create a smooth, dense, and finished concrete surface.

Tools and materials

  • Hand Trowel — Smoothing and densifying the concrete surface
  • Knee Pads — Protecting knees during extended kneeling
  • Kneeboards — Distributing weight and allowing workers to move across the concrete without leaving deep impressions
