Coloring the Concrete








The second cement truck came and delivered the last bit of concrete for the section by the hot tub. Then the crew just smoothed all the concrete to a glass-like finish then took bags of color and threw handfuls of it on the wet concrete. This first color is the base color. Another color will be added later right before they put the rubber stamps on the concrete. I had no idea that to color the concrete you just get handfuls of colored powder and through it out on the surface. It looks great though so they must know what they are doing!
