An old timer in Boise showed me his trick for a perfect edge with just a trowel and water.
He said, 'The finish is in the wrist, not the tool,' while we were waiting for a slab to set up. Anyone else learn a simple trick that changed how you work?

Sounds like a lot of fuss over concrete.

Ever dealt with a cracked slab? It's not just looks, it's a trip hazard and water gets under there. @wendysanchez is right, a good stamped job fixes that and actually adds value. My neighbor skipped repairs and now his basement gets damp every spring. That "fuss" saves you bigger headaches later.

We had to redo our patio last year. The old concrete was cracked and uneven. We hired a local crew that did a stamped finish, and it looks like real stone now. It was a hassle for a few days, but the result is totally worth it.
