Step 6 · Screed the Concrete

Using a straight piece of lumber (such as a 2x4) as a screed board, rest it on top of the 2x6 formwork. Move the screed board back and forth in a sawing motion across the surface of the wet concrete, dragging excess concrete with it and filling low spots. This process levels the concrete to the height of the form.
