What happens here

Before pouring concrete, properly cover any adjacent surfaces like doors, windows, and siding with protective material. Concrete can splash during placement and finishing, and if it lands on unprotected surfaces, it can be extremely difficult to remove once it hardens, potentially damaging the finish of your house.

Goal: Prevent concrete from splattering onto and damaging adjacent house surfaces.

What they say

Hide

you're going to order over a half yard of concrete, just order a truck. If your concrete's too wet, it could be weaker and take forever to dry. If it's too dry, it can be hard to work with. If you don't properly cover doors and siding, concrete can splash and can be hard to get off. Now we'll tap or vibrate our forms. If we don't vibrate or tap our formwork, these edges won't turn out. Screed our concrete. If we leave low spots, do a bad job
