The biggest mistakes that occur during the finishing of concrete driveways are overworking the surface and performing finishing operations while bleedwater is present. Finishing is generally a three-step process. Your contractor should: Level or strike off the concrete with a screed to achieve a uniform surface. Float the concrete with a wood or magnesium bullfloat before bleedwater accumulates. Apply a simple broom finish to improve traction-unless plans call for stamping the driveway or applying another type of decorative textured finish (see Making Concrete Slip Resistant). Final finishing with a steel trowel is unnecessary and can actually do more harm than good by sealing the concrete surface prematurely and preventing the evaporation of bleedwater.
