Concrete Placing & Finishing
Placing and finishing is where the concrete meets its final texture and durability. We place and finish concrete for pour-only scopes, with broom, smooth, exposed aggregate and stamped options where appropriate.
The Problem
What goes wrong with this work
Finishing fails when the concrete is placed on an unprepared base, the site isn't ready, or the finish doesn't suit the use. A good finisher can't save a bad pour setup.
What We Do
How this service works
We place and finish concrete to the agreed texture, with site readiness and coordination responsibilities defined in the quote. We work from a prepared, formed base — or coordinate what's needed to get there.
Scope
What's included — and what isn't
Every quote identifies the scope, the handoff, and what is by others. Here's what this service typically covers.
Included scope
- Concrete placement and levelling
- Finishing to the agreed texture (broom, smooth, exposed aggregate, stamped where appropriate)
- Jointing (cut or tooled)
- Coordination with site readiness
By others / exclusions
- Base preparation and forming unless separately included
- Concrete supply and pump unless separately included
- Curing/protection materials unless defined in the quote
- Engineering design
Process
How the work proceeds
A clear sequence so you know what happens and when.
- 1
Confirm site readiness
We confirm the base, forms and reinforcement are ready and the site is set up for the pour.
- 2
Place and level
Concrete is placed, spread and levelled to the forms and elevations.
- 3
Finish
The surface is finished to the agreed texture — broom, smooth, exposed aggregate or stamped.
- 4
Joint and clean up
Joints are cut or tooled, and the site is cleaned up after the finish.
Options
Finishes, applications & suitability
Broom finish
Standard non-slip texture for exterior flatwork.
Smooth / hard trowel
Smoother finish for interior or coated surfaces.
Exposed aggregate
Decorative, durable finish where the mix and timing suit.
Stamped
Patterned finish where the mix, timing and design allow.
Why Can Concrete
How we approach this work
Hebertson and Angel bring concrete finishing capability, and our crew can place and finish within a full package or as a pour-only scope. We're clear about what site readiness we need before we pour.
A clear, coordinated scope
Your written quote sets out the agreed work, the handoff, and what is by others — so responsibilities are defined before the work begins, and changes are discussed before they proceed.
Cost
What affects project cost
We don't publish prices or instant quotes. These are the factors that shape a written quote.
- Area and thickness
- Finish type and complexity
- Site readiness and preparation required
- Pump access and concrete coordination
- Weather and curing/protection needs
FAQ
Questions about this service
Can you finish concrete someone else placed?+
Sometimes, but we prefer to control placement too. Finishing someone else's pour depends on timing and site conditions — we'll review it during quoting.
What finishes do you offer?+
Broom, smooth/hard trowel, exposed aggregate and stamped where the mix and timing suit. Not every finish suits every mix or condition.
Do you supply the concrete?+
Concrete supply and pump coordination are defined in the quote. We don't assume them unless included.
