Wooden Shoes & Pool Floaties Too

Timing is critical when laying concrete around a pool. In fact, it often has to be placed in tight spaces, sometimes in hot weather where it begins to set quickly. The crew must work fast and efficiently to pour, spread, edge, and finish the surface before it starts to harden. With decorative finishes—like broom texturing, stamping, or exposed aggregate—the pressure is even higher, because the surface has to be worked at precisely the right moment.
