Welcome back to The Concrete Edge on Deco-Crete TV! In today's episode Jeff will be diving into the details of achieving a professional broom finish on your concrete driveway.

We'll start by discussing the importance of using the right tools, such as a straight edge and a magnesium bull float, to level and smooth the surface. These tools help push down aggregates and bring the cream to the top, preparing the concrete for a perfect finish. We'll also show you how to use a concrete edger and mag float to create sharp, clean edges and ensure a flat surface, explaining the nuances of handling these tools effectively.

Timing is crucial in this process. We'll explore the critical moments for using a bull float and applying the broom finish to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without leaving unsightly lines or ridges. You'll discover the best practices for dampening and using a broom to achieve the ideal texture on your concrete surface, and we'll highlight how to avoid common mistakes like bristle marks or "boogers."

Additionally, we'll demonstrate how to add a professional touch by creating clean borders and using smaller tools for precise touch-ups in tricky areas or after minor mishaps.

What cure and seal product do you use? And then what penetrating sealer would you use? You mentioned these in your video and just wanted to know what products, specifically. Please and thanks. Great tips and great video.

There %100 is a right way for not wiping your broomed edge to smooth with a edger if it gets wet/slick it defeats the purpose and it’s right on the edge of where you step. Quit doing this
