HOW TO POUR AND FINISH A CONCRETE PATIO AND WALKWAY
#concretepatio #concretewalkway #mikedayconcrete
In this video I'm showing you how we setup, pour and finish a concrete patio with an attached concrete walkway plus a separate concrete entry slab.
I start by showing you how we installed our forms for the patio slab and how we attached the concrete walkway to the patio with a little ramp section.
We also formed a concrete slab for the entry door that was 5' x 5' and finished it with a broom finish.
The concrete patio, walkway and entry slabs all had 2 inches of styrofoam under them to help control (and stop) any frost from getting under the slabs and heaving them in the winter.
We have good luck with using 2 inch styrofoam on a good gravel base under our exterior concrete in Maine. It insulates the ground enough so it doesn't freeze and heave the concrete.
We poured the concrete 6 inches thick for all the slabs and thickened the edges for the patio for some extra strength. All the concrete was 4000 psi with 3/4 stone and had air-entranment for freeze/thaw protection.
For the concrete finish, we mag floated the surface using our new funny float, and cut in our grooves with our new walk behind groover. (see below for a link to check out).
We gave the concrete surface a broom finish left the finished tool marks to both the groover and concrete edger.

Yea, we have to do that a lot for frost protection on most our exterior slabs.
Those octagon blue handle racks are the best! You can keep a good grip even when your hands are really sweaty.
that funny float looks awesome! :) handy if you dont want to get out there and fix the wall line
Beautiful work. And efficient!
Hey mike you need to get yourself a torpedo jointer you will love it

beer!! we have some breweries in florida
Mike you have nailed it with the format: narrating and 4x speed 👍
I don't do concrete but find the videos interesting... Very cool--far better than TV. Do you ever consider putting up something to shade the concrete in extreme conditions?
Michigan!
I thought you used bar chairs to keep your mesh up? I like the bead board for frost .
I don't have a know it all KZread page but foam also needs to be out 5'ish feet from the structure as well. Kind of basic
Beer. Lots of breweries in the Qaud cities
The funny float. Handle does it have a moving knuckle or is it fixed

i think you should extend the insulation beyond the pour to protect to outer edges.

The excavator does that when he comes back to back fill. That's not part of my bidding.
