Every modern house includes flat concrete surfaces. Concrete features range from utilitarian sidewalks to garage floors to tennis courts made of pervious concrete so water won't pond on it. You don't need years of experience to build a good concrete floor, but you do need information. Until now, that information has been surprisingly hard to find. Learn all you need to know to plan and complete small concrete pavement jobs around the house. Included are footpaths, driveways, patios, sports surfaces, and indoor floor slabs. There is guidance for all the basics: ordering concrete, adding joints, curing, and more specialized topics including pervious concrete and exposed-aggregate finishes. The final chapter addresses things that can go wrong, and how to prevent and fix them. AUTHOR: A widely recognized expert George Garber has been working with concrete since 1979. He has served as a consultant on concrete floors in 18 countries and has written about concrete construction for numerous engineering and industry magazines. SELLING POINTS: Basic guide to creating perfect concrete surfaces Includes indoor and outdoor flatwork, pervious concrete, and specialty finishes Invaluable advice for problem prevention and correction ILLUSTRATIONS 109 b/w photos *
