The Tried & True Broom Finish

Broom finish is a more traditional style of concrete finishing. The point of broom finish has always been to enhance texture so that driveways and walkways are less slippery.

Texturing

The technique is simple: A concrete finisher sweeps a broom (designed just for that purpose) over the not-quite-dry surface perpendicular to the slope, creating a rough texture. Afterward, the concrete is cured.

Decorative effects

We have found that the broom finish is every bit as durable as the slicker smooth concrete finish. We can even add decorative effects by swirling the broom or moving it in different directions. Call us and ask about the possibilities!
