Concrete is going to crack.
The goal isn’t to stop it completely — it’s to control where it happens.
Once our stamped pool deck had cured enough, Andreas came back with the Stihl concrete saw and cut relief joints using straight plywood guides to keep every cut perfectly straight.
These cuts create a weak point in the slab so any movement or shrinkage happens where we want it to, instead of randomly across the finished surface.
It’s one of those steps most people never see, but it plays a huge role in the long-term durability and appearance of the concrete.
Details matter. 👊
Would you rather see the finished product or the behind-the-scenes work that makes it last?
