Q: How do you get a smooth finish when pouring concrete?

• <div><p>The trick to getting a smooth finish when pouring concrete is to smooth the surface of the concrete with a magnesium float.

Q: What are the benefits of stamped concrete?

• <div><p>Stamped concrete is durable, low-maintenance, and offers customizable designs that mimic stone or brick.</p></div>

Q: Is stamped concrete hard to maintain?

• <div><p>No, stamped concrete is extremely durable and relatively easy to maintain. To keep your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-stamped-concrete.htm">stamped concrete clean</a> and help prevent staining, you should sweep any debris off it regularly, like you would with any other hard outdoor surface. You should also plan on resealing the concrete about every four years, which is about the same timeline you&rsquo;d expect from pavers and natural stones.</p></div>

Q: Do services include decorative finishes?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals offer stamped, stained, or polished concrete for enhanced aesthetics.</p></div>
