How the Pro's Pour Concrete with Victory Outdoor Services #3

What happens here

As the concrete continues to set and becomes firmer, the team switches from walking jointers to working on their hands and knees using knee boards and smaller hand jointers. This allows for closer, more detailed work. They carefully refine the previously cut control joints, ensuring smooth, consistent edges and a clean finish. This stage also involves meticulous hand troweling to achieve the final desired texture and flatness across the entire patio surface.

Goal: Refine control joints and achieve final surface flatness and texture.
