A Broom Finish Adds Functionality & Character
A broom finish is the classic standard for concrete installations. It looks sharp, adds traction, is cost effective and helps mitigate water flow. Choose broom finished concrete for walkways, driveways, patios, porches, steps and just about anywhere with heavy foot traffic. Colored concrete options can be incorporated with a broom finish but stamps cannot be added. One trick is to use a broom finish on pathways while incorporating decorative stamps on the perimeter and less walked upon areas.

A Professional Touch
Sure a Broom Finish is exactly as it says, running a broom over concrete before it sets in. But as with any simple concept the work can be deceivingly difficult. It takes an experienced hand to run consistent pressure and to get tough angles or end joints. The Dundee service pros are well versed in concrete. They know when to run the finishing touches and how to get the project just right before it seals.
Fine Broom Finish
A soft finish with easy traction. The Fine Broom Finish is excellent for areas that could use additional character but don’t receive heavy foot traffic.
Medium Broom
This is the most typical install and could also be referred to as the standard broom finish. Works great in practically any application. Patios, stairs walkways, you name it. For great traction and and a sharp look, the medium broom finish is it.
Broom Swirl
This is done with a gentle swish but we’re not making ‘happy little trees’ here, we’re adding foot traction. For an artistic rendition of an old standard style the broom swirl is an excellent option. Note that there are different types of broom swirl finishes as well, so when requesting a quote be sure to ask about our broom swirl options.

The fine finish is an excellent choice for the gentler touch. Standard finish is considered the medium type and the heavy broom finish is ideal for high traffic areas or just simply to add dramatic contrast. When working on a budget but still looking for style, consider the broom swirl. This is a feature that involves a gentle swish which looks great but also adds a little traction to your step.
