#EverythingAboutConcrete #TheConcreteUnderGround

In this video I'm installing a concrete apron in front of a garage that's 24' x 24'. This garage apron is 3' wide and 6 inches thick.
I'm matching the height of the garage floor and sloping the concrete apron 2 to 4 inches away from the garage to match the driveway height.
I used a 4000 psi 3/4 aggregate concrete mix with fibermesh and air-entrainment in the concrete. I live in a freeze/thaw environment with 3 months of winter so the air additive is important to help prevent surface damage. A good concrete sealer is also important to help protect the concrete.
