Constructing Concrete Walkway with Crushed Granite Aggregate Video

Bob discusses the concrete walk with the contractor. He gives Bob some tips on how to make the concrete cure harder and have less cracks. They then discuss the aggregate, crushed granite that will be added to make the concrete look like granite. They use a special tool to push down the stones in the standard concrete to make room for the aggregate and the colorant. The concrete is allowed to set for four hours then hosed off to expose the granite chips.
