What happens here

After the main finishing of the flat surfaces and joints, focus shifts to the perimeter. Francisco, another worker, meticulously finishes the exposed edges of the concrete patio. Using a small hand trowel, he carefully smooths and rounds the edges that were previously formed by the removed wooden boards. This detailed work ensures a clean, uniform, and durable finish along all perimeter sections, enhancing both the appearance and longevity of the patio. He also helps with the general surface troweling, as the concrete continues to firm up.

Goal: Meticulously finish all exposed concrete edges for a polished look.
