- We poured a border of Belgium slate with a midnight color concrete then we poured the inside an Italian slate with a hailstorm gray color. We will post a video of sealing it in 5 weeks. Along with another job we sealed at the beginning of the season.
Looks fantastic!!!
Great work bro , I am a finisher over here in California , game recognize game keep up the good work just for the record I also steel trowel when I stamp concrete People be talking stupid sometimes
Thanks brother we do try our best. Hope the weather is still looking good over there. And yeah I have never met anyone who stamps without hitting it with a trowel first. But everyone is different. Thanks for the comment and support!
That will look awesome with a glossy high solids acrylic sealer. Great work mate. I like your attention to detail and not cutting corners.
Thank you, I try and not only meet but exceed the industry standard for residential flatwork. There is also a video on her where I seal this job. It did look amazing after the sealer.
I live in the Springs. Looks like you're in Black Forest. Great work man! I see your truck around town
This definitely was black forest. And right on. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Turned out nice man!
Gonna post a video of sealing it tomorrow. Stick around. And thank you.
Never seen the joint strip stamps, pretty cool. Solid work!!
They leave the joints looking really clean for sure. Thank you for watching!
Great job love the work you guys do great work I'm definitely a sub now
You are the first person that said something along the lines of "Because of how you do your work I want to sub". You don't know how much we appreciate this. We will continue to post videos every week and hopefully I get better at editing so that they can be more fun to watch. Thank you again and we appreciate your support.
Would of been nice to see the finished product after sealed to see the true color of the border
You are absolutely right.. But we will be posting a video of sealing 3 jobs all at once. Wanted some effects and to show how consistent I am from job to job. Stick around I should have it up within a month.

Gracias, le hechamos ganas pa que salga bien el jale.
@11:51 Best part of this video !!!
Same here. Those 2 never left us alone.
Seems kinda crazy to wait til u poured the outside edge before u threw a stone base in the middle. Guess maybe u didnt have the stone the first day but sure does make things take more effort. Kind of like adding fuel to a fuel tank before installing said tank onto truck. Some sexy concrete though. Before yotube i never had a clue u could make concrete look as cool as u guys on here do.
Seemed easier to add what I needed instead of taking out what would be extra. It gets in the way up until you need it. And thank you. We were very proud about how this came out.
Great work, I just just became a sub.
Thank you, we appreciate the comment and support!
Looks good man, only thing I’d say is I would have used expansion where the new concrete met the old because that’s probably going to get a stress crack, and how do you pour concrete with the ground at freezing temps? The ground is frozen and swollen, when spring comes isn’t it going to drop and settle? Maybe it’s different in your region?
The concrete has room to expand outward so no expansion. And the spot where the new met the old was an area where water dripped from the deck up top. Didn't want water finding a way under. The soil was never frozen since we did this work in May. An odd snowfall that was though. And it's all sitting on a densely packed granular base to avoid frost expansion.
Absolutely brilliant work no shortcut.
I've noticed the yellow strips that you use so the gaps don't close up what are they called and where would I get them from . Dave from the uk cheers
Thank you and we call them joint strips. I believe PROLINE sells them here in the US.
Very nice work! Where did you bought your stamp mats? Thank you!
Rented them at bobcat of the rockies. And thank you.
I think u need to narrorate some more videos, all of them have done really well, double down on what works
I think it would be better. The videos that i narrate are actually the ones I like more.
The Sun Hats R SmaRt..............
I completely agree with this. I see most guys wear those now. We don't work too late into the day so I wear a ball cap. But when we work later past 1pm. I notice how I need a sun hat. My neck will be a little burnt.
microfiber? those fibers dont affect the finish?
U ever put that rattle stick on you screed? You can put it right on an ez screed
Have not considered it. Most the guys on the crew are old school and like to use a standard aluminum screed. I will look into it though. Atleast after a pass with the rattle stick it leaves it real clean.
What are those yellow strips ? Nice looking job .
The yellow strips are textured so that when you stamp over a joint you don't squish it closed. And after you are done stamping and remove it. Not only will the top surface be textured but every surface down to the bottom of the joint will be also. They add to the aesthetic of the stamp. And like I said they keep the joints open while you stamp. Thank you for your comment and support!
@@jmconcretecoloradosprings where did you get them ?
@@leecheever903 Bought them from WESTERN HARDSCAPES here in town. They ordered them from a company called Proline.
What do you spray before you lay the stamp
It's called bubblegum release. It's a liquid release agent that smells like bubblegum.
I would have done it all in 1 pour, but hey there is many ways to skin duck
Actually not on this 1 but I nor do
I prefer to do borders separately. Doing them together gets sloppy. I've seen some kinda clean looking. But done separately they are very clean. Plus it keeps your attention in the right place. Trying to stamp different stamps takes up alot of bandwidth. Plus when you want such a large contrast in color it's best to pour it separately. It would be hard to stain it that black and not Stain the inside. Just needs a whole bunch of plastic. Now if the inside was the same Integral color but only broomed. I would do it all at once and just seal the outside after using that EZTIQUE.
Yeah I wouldn't do that 1 in 1 pour, especially w those joints. They would jump through. I just rent my buggys I don't own, I'm saving for a volumetric mixer. Do they have volumetric mixers in colorado?
@@GRUBB-MUDD we have a few volumetric that some outfits own. But I like to order from a wet batch plant for consistency. Funny thing is I have been considering ways to increase profits. We thought about getting a pump. But the Georgia buggy handles 95% of pours with a hugely lower upkeep cost and the pumps are cheap to hire out. Then I also looked into the volumetric mixers or having a small mobile batch plant with a small cement truck. Many ideas but for now just trying to be the best in town. Depending on the availability of mud though. A volumetric mixer might work for you. Always ready when you want it and only use what you need. Just have the logistics for materials set up before hand. Also I think I saw you on r/concrete on reddit.
I've never used a volumetric mixer nor has 1 In indiana. Only prob is they are rear load and I've never used anything but a front discharge truck. Do u write off all your stuff u buy on taxes and it seems like u bring in finishers. Do u find that more cost effective than having a crew and doing all the prep yourself. And yeah redit is a great way to grow your youtube channel or so I've heard. I have only used it 1 time
Where did you get the big skins at?
Rented them at WESTERN HARDSCAPES here in Colorado springs.
Please advise what would be a good sealer to use on stained stamped concrete driveway that would be safe for hot-tire marks?
Concrete was already sealed with (1 coat) solvent based sealer
Thank you kindly, as always super work!
That's a complicated question. We usually use dayton superior j-25 but most film forming sealers do not get along with hot tire marks. I would recommend getting with a local decorative concrete supplier in your area and asking them.
@@jmconcretecoloradosprings Appreciate your response!
What's going to keep the border and big slab from frost heaving separately
Valid question. Both are pinned with plenty of dowels with one another. Every joint in that border has had a demo saw score it. Worse case scenario I see is a random crack where we don't want it. That's if the base wasn't done so well. . And the water cement ratios on both pours were nearly identical. If they move they move together. Unless somehow the border gets 70 degree weather and the inside gets 25 degree weather I don't see any problems.
@@jmconcretecoloradosprings didn't see pins in the video. Just curious
@@scottcosta8567 It was a very good question and observation. But there is close to 10-15 short ones I believe around the perimeter. Also I waited till right before the pour to drill the holes. I wanted it cured as much as possible before drilling. Didn't want to chip something.
How did you get the rounding?
Rounding?
Never steel trowel stamped concrete
Why? Every contractor that I have ever seen pour stamped has steel troweled. Never had any negative effects on the surface, color, or strength. And we have gone back to some stamp jobs 10 years later without problem. But I am interested in your input.
@@jmconcretecoloradosprings magnesium flot brings the cream up steel brings up the rocks steel trowels are made for smooth finishes. Garage basements nothing exterior should be steel troweled
@@scottcosta8567 You want me to just float it then stamp it? How long have you been finishing concrete?
Do you ever use mini delay set retarder paks in the summer, and water reducer?
