Often, residential projects should be 470 lb per yard of concrete, more if you happen to live in colder areas. If your location experiences a thaw and freezes climate, 4% of air-entraining admixture is needed. This will prevent any scaling and spalling, which can damage your concrete. Other materials can be added like small stones, especially if it is going to be stamped. If you are going to ask how do we maintain our concrete fresh, well, we have our very own concrete truck that has a big drum, spinning slowly to keep the mixture from setting and getting hard.
After this, wet concrete needs to be cured. Large metal or wooden boards are used to screed or scrape the top of the concrete. This allows the concrete to be more compact and consolidate the mixture. It will also start the smoothing and leveling of the top of the mix. Next is the float.
