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.

nish.
