Pouring Concrete with Victory Outdoor Services #2
What happens here
The initial step involves placing wet concrete onto the prepared base, which includes a wire mesh reinforcement. Workers use rakes and shovels to roughly spread the concrete. Critically, during this stage, the wire mesh needs to be pulled up from the base so it's embedded within the concrete slab, providing structural integrity. If the wire mesh remains at the bottom, it will not prevent cracking effectively.
Goal: Distribute concrete evenly and properly position the wire mesh.
