Edging

As the sheen of water begins to leave the surface, edging should begin. Finish with an edger, as shown in Figure 72, all edges of a slab that do not abut another structure.

An edger dresses corners and rounds or bevels the concrete edges. Edging the slab helps prevent chipping at the corners and helps give the slab a finished appearance. Figure 73 shows an edger in use.
