How NOT to Pour Concrete with Victory Outdoor services. #4
What happens here
The video introduces the 'picture framing' technique for concrete patios. This involves using a concrete edger tool to create a smooth, rounded edge along the perimeter of the freshly poured concrete. The worker demonstrates the movement: pushing the edger forward with slight pressure to form a visible line with the outside corner of the tool, and then lifting slightly as the tool is pulled back to avoid scraping material. This process is repeated around the entire patio edge to achieve a consistent, finished look.
Goal: Create a clean, smooth, rounded edge around the perimeter of the concrete patio.
