No job is going to last if the prep work isn't completed
Exposed aggregate
Here, a customer's son is washing the surface to expose the pebbles and create the finish desired before the concrete sets
Forms still on
The wash is almost complete here, The forms come off later but the finish is starting to look about right
Custom forms
John was about 52" tall here. The round form is to be placed around the flower bed. Custom forms like this, are easier to get right in the shop. A perfect circle with a brick ledge for the brick edging around the flower bed
