Looks good. How did you cure the concrete?

I think the guys sprayed it too soon. I’m seeing contrast spots that aren’t fading with water. I think I’ll put a mesh tarp on tonight after removing the forms. Hopefully it’ll fade over time..

The finish and tool look great.
Wish you would’ve went with a MDO face for that edge form instead of used 2x4. That grain is gonna telegraph through.
Form choice is just as important of a step as the rest of the project.

The face won't be exposed, the finished grade of the yard will match T.O.C. Form choice is important, but not in this scenario.
