What happens here

Once the concrete is roughly spread, use a long straightedge (screed board) to level the concrete surface. This is done by pulling the straightedge across the top of the forms, removing excess concrete and filling low spots. This action ensures the slab has the correct elevation and a relatively flat surface.

Goal: Achieve the desired elevation and flatness for the concrete slab.

Tools and materials

  • Concrete Rake — Assisting in moving excess concrete during screeding
  • Straightedge — Leveling the concrete to the top of the forms
  • Fresh Concrete — The material being leveled
