From How to Pour a Concrete Landing Pad for Deck Stairs, Step 6: Screed the Concrete
After the concrete is roughly spread, use a screed board (a long, straight piece of lumber or metal) to level the concrete precisely with the top edge of the formwork. Place the screed board across the forms, resting on both edges. With two people or one person using a vibratory screed, move the board back and forth in a sawing motion while simultaneously pulling it forward. This action removes excess concrete, fills any low spots, and compacts the surface, creating a flat and even slab. Ensure smooth, continuous passes to avoid leaving ridges or dips.

0:02 We're connecting the building, which is up here in front where you can't see on the video, to a slab up back that we poured previously this year. And they have like the golf carts when they're going around the golf course, they stop at this section up there where the slab is and they'll put like a like a cookout grill up there. They'll cook burgers and hot dogs and stuff like that. So you can stop with the golf course, pick up some golf cart, pick up some food and then, you know, just keep going if you want, I guess. But the concept was they wanted to be able to get from the building to that slab without having to walk through the grass and be able to wheel their stuff onto the slab, you know, from the concrete. So that's why we're installing this walkway for them. It was no like set way we had to form
0:48 it. It's just they wanted it about 5 ft wide. They dug it out for us. They did all the prep. We just put in the forms based on kind of how they dug it out as far as the curves go.
