Measure and establish the

boundaries of the slab using a

measuring tape, spikes and string.

Excavate the area to remove grass and debris. Ensure that the

excavated area is pitched in the direction water should run, away from

any building.

Add forms using 2x4s and ensure they are level. Nail the forms

together and remove the string.

Lay a gravel base (1 to 2 inches in depth) using Sakrete All Purpose

Gravel. This will help with any water ow or substrate movement and

prevent the concrete from buckling.

Use a 2x4 to screed the surface with a rocking motion

eliminating any voids and removing excess product.

Add water as needed, 3.5 to 4 quarts of water depending on the

type of concrete mix. Concrete can be mixed in a wheelbarrow,

mortar pan or a mixer. Add enough water so mixture moves

freely and does not ball up.

A mixer is an inexpensive rental item and will make the project

easier.

NOTE: Over-watering concrete will make it weaker.

Pour concrete mixture into forms and begin spreading.

Once the wet sheen of the concrete has disappeared, apply the

nal trowel coat.

NOTE: The sheen will reappear as the surface is troweled.

Using an ordinary broom, lay it on the surface of the slab and

gently drag it across the surface to create a textured, non-skid

nish.
