In this video we do and expose aggregate driveway and a house surrounds with Simon and his boys . Start to finish hope you enjoy please subscribe and share this video 👍
Glad I found you guys, very informative. What ratio Sugar / Water do you use, it looks like 2kg to 20 ltrs? Wife has me doing a path at the side of my driveway and just watching a few of your vids has answered all my questions. Thanks for uploading.
Bar Chairs non existent, they are required to set the reinforcing mesh to the correct position within the concrete cover. Concrete will fail unfortunately, be aware people, make sure this critical work is done.
Bearded Bricky awesome mate love to see it we have to actually do this driveway again on Friday I will make a video and explain what happened. . Was an hour fault it was the concrete companies about time they take some blown . 🤙🏻😉
Concrete ninja yeah bro they can make a hard job even harder with some of the crap they send. Two months ago spent 9 hours watching a driveway because they put the wrong sand in it and too much water at the plant. 🤷♂️😱🤬👊👍💯🤦🏻♂️you da man bro!
Bearded Bricky Yes they don’t take the blame very much it’s very easy to blame us . 😉 but sometimes we get listen to . If they don’t we just go somewhere else and they lose our business . 🤙🏻
Walking around on semi wet concrete in workboots leaves impressions that can be seen even after exposing the stone, thongs or flipflops as you call them are a neccicarity doing exposed mate ya take ya boots off chuck ya thongs on tread lightly
Hi Boys fantastic job! I'm from the highlands of Scotland and would appreciate some advice in regards to your process in the past I've used a self neutralising retarder which is depth specific 2mm, 3mm, 5mm 10mm based on the size of the aggregate to keep the surface fat/paste live which is costly! I have heard of sugar being used and watched yourself in this video but how much suger? per litre of water? I Imagine its caster sugar? Also what is the ratio of aggregate to concrete per m3 cubic metre of concrete that does away with seeding the chips into the surface to insure a uniform blanket of chips on the surface if you could advice this would be amazing many thanks Big T
Hey I'm from Devon and am about to do a drive way in the same way. Wondering how you got on with using sugar? I've heard you can use coke a cola as well
Alright man I gotta know what the heck is going on with the Sandals on the job site?! lol .... if my guys don’t wear steel toe boots they are off my jobsite.
What's this sugar mix ya using ,we use a product that green it's called" prime exposed" in a red drum , but it's pretty pricey , are you litteraly just mixing sugar and water?
@@concreteninja thanks, i am contracter for the exposed aggregate finish in korea, we apply to mortar thk20~30mm on subconcrete by hand trowel. it is very important to mix and mixing matrial for good quality in exposed aggregate, so we use of something additive to concrete mortar. As you video, i can find out it is good and special mixtures to be good for workability and gravel stability, etc.
고안종 It is good to have it all through the next that way you will not miss nothing but if you have to sprinkle the stone later just make sure you do it when it’s wet and put plenty of stone down . If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask and if you ever want me to come to Korea just let me know I will come for the right money 😉
I've being doing some exposed for a small landscaping company . Used a product called Ccs reveal . You stick it once then spray the fuck out of it . Looks like shit cause you can see every stick trowel line but when you wash off it comes up mint .
Sometimes when I do an exposed aggregate job the end result is very “milky” or “white” when the concrete cures. Am I not removing enough of the cream during the spray/wash period? (I just order a standard pea gravel mix)
you need to give it a light acid wash 4 or 5 days afterwards. 1 part hydrochloric acid to about 30 parts water, not too strong a mix. you just want to get rid of the concrete stains left on the exposed stones. let it dry a couple more days before applying sealer.
I didn't see any expansion joints or control joints. Not a good job, This driveway will crack when the when changes. I have never seen a complete solid driveway
I dont actually think they are mower strips, they are for builders warranty purposes. Builders tell clients they require it to have a better warranty or that they need it. The truth is you don't actually need it, if a apron around the house was required for structural reason it would be part of the house build to get certificate of occupancy. Its a stupid thing builders came up with to avoid claims... basically if you make a claim they ask you if you have concreted a apron around the house, then they tell you they will do the repair once you get it done... its a bit of obfustication... yet if it was integral to the structural integrity they should do it as part of the build.. Its so dumb... as people used to put garden around there house and up to windows... now people are so worried about the legalitys of it they dont.,.. Its fckn nuts... and it looks stupid.
bobbybish xo most of the time just my phone I have to go pros but it takes me too long to download the content and then make a video . I do do it once in a while 👍
Low Flynn Hey mate they call that a mower strips in Australia so you do not have to run your lawnmower against the house. . People have too much money 😂😜🤙🏻

Greg Brown thank you my friend 🙏
Hello. You do very good job. I have a question please answer me. What kind of concrete did you use in this video? I really want to know. Thank you!
What sizes Timber are you guys boxing? It looked nicely done.
Great job !....old dude LOL LOL
Are dowels needed to bolt to the home slab for the driveway. Does that cause increase load on the house slab if there is movement.
Is that a bitumen paint on edge of house slab?
Also is the sugar mix in weed sprayer crucial?
New Invention called Work Boots. Never in my life seen a bunch of Men working in Flip Flops lol.

I found the hosing / exposing the aggregate extremely satisfying. I don't know why
Hey mate any reason u didn't use mesh for the perimeter of the house and just rods?
Hi, congrats for the job. Please, how u insert those different color rocks on concrete? Here the concrete supply only sends with normal aggregate.
U can chicken feed it in on top
how long the surface retarder is washed away to reveal the aggregate in the concrete?
hi Concrete ninja on summer time how long i need to wait till i wash the exposed aggregate? thanks
Alright man I gotta know what the heck is going on with the Sandals on the job site?! lol .... if my guys don’t wear steel toe boots they are off my jobsite.

Yup sugar and water does the job
wonderful and excellent job for the exposed aggregate finish. Can i ask of you what is the concrete mixing ratio for the best job like this ?
고안종 I’m not exactly sure what the mix is but it has stone all through it

@@concreteninjawhy do u strip the forms while u r still finishing
that is so beautiful here in America we mostly broom finish the driveway
What breed of Fresno trowel is that mate??
Muito bom mas qual é o nome desse produto mágico ?
Hi mate, I love your work ? what size of stone do you use in concrete.
Cheers
I’m pretty sure this one is seven mil
Hey mate how much would a job like this cost?

Yeah what he said ya gotta acid wash it a few days after to remove that shit then clear seal it
U gotta wash ur gravel also
so ur concrete companies carry this kind of aggregate and mix it with the concrete? must be nice
Do you wash on the same day? As I can see boys are walking on the concrete, or did you wash it the next day?
Furqan Alam Akhund Hey mate we do wash off the same day about four hours after concrete
Concrete ninja My concreter washed after two days, it looks nice now.
I know he's been riding them for a while but damn does Utah make riding one of those 2wheelboards look easy.
Nicholas Ivanov Yes he does 🤙🏻 easy style I just wish I could do two of those tricks 😂😜
I didn't see any expansion joints or control joints. Not a good job, This driveway will crack when the when changes. I have never seen a complete solid driveway
Good call

how long does it takes to wash after sugar spray?
thanks
It depends on the day and as long as your rocks are not moving underneath, you can wash off
Whats purpose of sugar water?
Quero fazer aqui no Brasil?
Thanks for uploading but In terms of giving instruction or teaching us how to do it, there was none. NONE !
Hi what’s the sugar to water ratio for the retarder
Go the trade certified jandals 🤣
Did u wash off same day as pour?
Jason Cafeo yes
@@concreteninja what is the purpose of the sugar water?
@@smackflack5771 stops top from setting
What do you use to record

Nothing says I am a ex-convict like working concrete
Why don’t yous ever get a pump?
67 ' We do just not for jobs like this
lol you didn't even show how you got it from plain to exposed
Apply a good coat of Master Finish 380 out of a weed sprayer/squirter bottle.. then pressure wash the following morning
You ever use tool joints?
Jose Alvarez not very often I think I did one job last year . Most people around here just cut the slab The next day
@@concreteninja hi there how much do you charge per square feet of exposed concrete please you can reply so I can do my dryveway thanks
Why do y’all pour concrete on the side of the house like that weird we don’t do that here in the states
