Broomed finished concrete—also called a broom finish—is a widely used surface treatment where a broom is dragged across freshly poured concrete to create a textured, slip-resistant surface.

🧹 How It’s Done:

• After the concrete is poured and leveled, but before it fully sets, a broom (usually with stiff bristles) is pulled across the surface.

• The direction, pressure, and type of broom used can vary depending on the desired texture—fine, medium, or coarse.

🏠 Common Uses:

• Driveways

• Sidewalks

• Patios

• Commercial walkways

• Pool decks

✅ Benefits:

• Slip resistance: Especially important for outdoor surfaces exposed to rain or foot traffic.

• Cost-effective: Simple to apply and doesn’t require special tools or additives.

• Durable: Holds up well under weather and wear.

• Customizable: You can vary the broom direction (straight, swirl, crosshatch) for aesthetic effect.
