In this video I'm going to show you how to form, pour and stamp a concrete patio slab.
This is a backyard concrete patio that will look like Ashlar Slate when we are done stamping the concrete.
First, I show you how to build the forms for the slab. This includes measuring the lengths, screwing them together, squaring the forms and staking them in place.
I'm also using my Topcon HL5-B self leveling laser level to set the forms to grade/ This is the easiest laser level to use for this kind of work in my opinion.
Second, I show you how to pour the concrete for the patio slab. We spread out the concrete, mag float our edges and screed it level off the tops of the forms. Then I bull float the concrete to smoothen the surface and prepare it for stamping.
Third, I show you how to stamp the concrete using my Ashlar slate stamps. These stamps go together kinda like a puzzle, they have to go in a specific direction and inter-connect or the pattern will not come out right.
Forth, I show you how I saw cut expansion joints and power wash the concrete to prepare it for sealing.
Fifth, I show you what concrete sealer I like to use on my stamped concrete jobs and how to apply it.

Hi Everyone, if you want to learn how to STAMP CONCRETE like I do it, I can teach you online here: mike-day.mykajabi.com/offers/3hhjPXHx
If you want to learn how to form and pour concrete slabs, you can learn from me here: mike-day.mykajabi.com/pl/79570
Hey Mike, great video and awesome work. How much does something like this cost?
Mike Day Everything About Concrete I really enjoyed your program on stamping concrete Mike Excellent work!!!
Why do you cut the concrete after you have stamped; what’s the purpose?
@@TheSharpc The purpose is the concrete will crack eventually. By cutting it You leave a weak spot. So if all goes right the crack will be in the cut line so you will not see it.
How much should it cost for 200 square feet?
Not sure why I watched this whole thing, I am trying to get ideas, and this dude was just too good at this and very informative
Same haha
Same
Same. Wish you were in Florida to do my patio man
Same here! I was looking at paver ideas and came across this guy was just in awe!
Romans chapter 10 verse nine if you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead the Bible says you will be saved Jesus loves u Any prayer request put in comments
IVE DONE CONCRETE WORK SINCE 1999, IVE NEVER SEEN ANY PATIO THAT BEAUTIFUL.
YOUR AWESOME MAN.
Coolest Dad ever! Great daughters. This is not just a video on how to do concrete stamping but a fundamental father daughter teaming video.
You sound like an honest man who knows his job.
People who post DIY videos on RUclips should really watch this and take notes. Not only is Mike obviously an experienced tradesman who knows what he's doing, but the camera work is clear and steady and the narration is excellent. Super informative and easy to follow. None of this stammering through semi-incoherent rambling about this or that while the camera bounces around, is only focused half the time, etc. You just watch this and know with certainty that Mike does exceptional work and is a reliable, honest businessman. Thank you for posting this video; even though I have no plans to pour any concrete in the near future, I learned a bunch and its always a pleasure to watch someone create something with skill and pride.
Thank you Yuri, much appreciated!!
As good as an Egyptian!
What he said!
Yeah but he hours have known to raise the rebar. It does nothing laying on the ground.
Aside from the frankly reckless lack of any kind of dust prevention or protection. This guy is gonna need a new set of lungs in a decade if he keeps working like this.
Guy's look at a master concrete guy work his magic..wow he will never be broke long as his health hold up . I pray this guy stays healthy and doing what he loves
Thanks Daniel!
The finished patio looks fantastic!
That looks absolutely fantastic. The contrast in color you achieved after applying the sealer is beautiful. I wish I had that patio at my house!
Love this guy!!! Thanks for being a teacher
You sir are America's backbone, amazing work.
Thank you so much!
Your videos are great Mike, thanks for taking the time to do these. As someone who's learning is highly visually dependent I get everything I want from watching your work... just outstanding.
I keep coming back to watch this patio. I love it so much, I want this texture under a pavilion with a stone fire pit in my backyard in Arizona.
Call your local ready mix company, they'll know someone who can do this for you.
Loved seeing your daughters working with you! I got into concrete because my dad roped me into it as a kid and I've grown to love it ever since
It's awesome isn't it Bob!
That’s how it’s suppose to be done. Great job!!!
Great to see the details on how you guys stamp. I like the texture roller. Saving time is very important at that point. I'll definitely be trying a roller. We are using to flexible edge mats along the perimeter.
Came out awesome! And super cool of your daughter and her friend for helping with the slab! Most girls wouldn't even consider doing this for any amount of money. You raised her right 100%
Right
I like his girls working with him
Even more true today ,with these kids today
@@gregchapman6190 stfu, just say your kids don’t like you. Maybe bad parenting and lack of communication with your kids? Reflect on your parenting
@@AJ-ew7kr Nah kids today are lazy asf
@@gunnargetz5980 Nahh
That looks really nice my man, great job!
Craftsmanship and hard work results in a fine product to be proud of.
Thank You Dave!!
Getting ready to have my patio done. This was extremely helpful! Thanks for all of your effort in putting this together. You really do nice work.
Yes sir, this guy is awesome. I would give him an extra helping no charge.
Absolutely awesome to be able to do this with your children and have that bonding time is a blessing 🙏
I couldn't tell how nice this really was until you did the close up... Great work!
Looks great. The best part is. It’s a passion you have. That’s what makes it even better.
Right on, thanks!
awesome to see 2 young women working hard to help out on a job and get experience,,,you dont see stuff like that very often...god bless them
Amazing! You can tell Mike puts his pride into his work.
This was the first time I've seen concrete art. Very cool.
I wondered how this was done. Thanks for posting. Excellent job. Top notch craftsmanship.
Thank You!!
Mike, this project turned out great!!
Very nice final look. I appreciate a person that really takes pride in their work and it's obvious you really do👍👍
I love your energy and determination in getting it done properly
That looks incredible my friend. I know that its hard work but you and your daughters stepped it up like the pro you are. enjoyed ,dennis chandler fayette ga.
Thanks 👍
Beautiful Work! Us Working folk appreciate your skills and pride.
Thanks Eric, what do you do for work?
I really enjoyed this video and how you filmed it as a time lapse. It’s nice that your daughters help you. I wish I could get my daughter to help out with projects like this.
Thank you Mike for sharing your experience and expertise in this field, I am totally clueless and completely a newbie in doing things like this but watching your videos and listening to your instructions/recommendations/preferred methods and ways gives me a little confidence to move forward and do the DIY project I’ve been intending to do. More power to you, more success to your business and more blessings to you and your daughter and her friend! God bless.
This looked amazing! You make it look so easy... I just bought a house on a cliff and have to do driveways and walkways that circle the whole thing and it’s on a major incline so I have my homework cut out for me . Glad I found your channel. You narrate so well with information it’s so helpful. Love your videos and your work A+ channel 🏆
Thank you for watching and commenting!
It was a pleasure to watch this video. I absolutely love the outcome.
Thank you for teaching us
Thank you for sharing.
We remember a few years back these were extremely popular with the cobblestone/large rock finishes, we had one almost every week !
Great job and so nice to see you working with your daughters. Thank you for the great tips and info.
One of best "how to" videos I have ever seen! Perfect commentary, with steps and the "why" aspect which is really important.. Impressive!!
Thank you!
Danny beat me to the punch. I was impressed, not only with your phenomenal concrete laying, finishing and STAMPING skills, but
the way you used voice and video to communicate everything so well !!! What beautiful results!
I was just passing through and fell on this amazing video. Great tutorial, great job bro. I've done construction my whole life and you made this look so easy. I love how the kids knew what they were doing, you should definitely be proud of them. Thanks for a great upload.
You do beautiful work! I'll probably never even pour a sidewalk I but appreciate the workmanship seen here. Thanks!
That's a great finished product. I love the look of that stamping.
I had never realized how much work and precision goes into this! Loved the informative video! Thanks!!
Thanks Tim! It is a lot of work.
Hello Mike I thoroughly enjoyed the video! That was a besutiful design and yes the black really made the design pop and dimensional. I liked how you explained what, how, when, and why you performed a task a certain way or used specific tool or product. I really learned so much! Your calm voice coupled with your knowledge sharing made subscribing to your channel very easy. Thank you.
Pam
Thank you Pam! I appreciate it.
Great job you guys rocked and definitely salute you passing the great family techniques on to the young ones see at some point how important that will become in the future.👍🏿
This video was awesome! I enjoyed how detailed you explained everything from start to finish. I learned a lot! About to have a patio poured, so I’ll know what to watch for. Thanks!
I would like this guy as my neighbor, He is excellent I love how seriously he takes his work for me he is an artist on what he does.
Thanks!
Pretty good for not rolling or chiseling your joints. 1 man show! I like. 👍🏻
You are a credit to your profession! Great work!
This is the best job I saw in RUclips
About time a video where someone knows what they are doing great job!
Other than cross mopping..
@@davidjohnson3024 What is cross mopping?
@@kbanghart probably referring to the direction he pulled the screed off of the left side of the patio. Ideally you bull float perpendicular to the direction you screed
@@normanshaw2541 thanks. One more question if you don't mind, for a large area, would it be ok to place in sections, and have joints in between? I guess the risk is that later on, part could raise or settle above the others, but would a gravel base help with that also?
@@kbanghart You can absolutely pour in sections. Takes a lot more time and effort, but if you don't want to use a bigger crew or are working with smaller loads of concrete anyway, it can be done. You can run rebar through the form on the side(s) that abut the next section(s) to 'dowel' the slabs together. As an added bonus, that can reduce or eliminate saw cutting. Note that you can get inconsistencies between pours that may affect the aesthetics.
Wow! Fantastic video, I actually learned something watching this.
Love your relaxed style and easy to understand narration. Thank you sir!
Thank you for watching.
You can tell you take pride in your job it shows good job
End result is amazing. I was coughing watching all that concrete dust and no respirators.
I've been watching your channel for a while now Mike, very informative. I poured a shed slab myself... Went well. Now we are preparing to pour a 14'x28' patio slab for my outdoor kitchen in a couple weeks. Looking forward to it. Enjoying working with concrete, a new found skill and a lot of the knowledge comes from watching you. Thanks man! - Cody, Port Colborne, Ontario.
That is awesome!
I've seen stained concrete but never anything like this. Incredible detail and really gorgeous looking work.
Thank you!
You make this look easy! I am looking to lay a 15x15 concrete patio, debating on stamping it. I have never done any type of concrete work before so this video was very helpful
That release agent left a gorgeous color pattern. Saving this for later use on my own place
Never have I seen stamping, Nice Jo b
Thank You
That's the best video I've ever seen for concrete print! Really goes into detail and doesn't skip over anything... fantastic results! Look forward to seeing more of your work... David from Dublin Ireland
🇮🇪🍀!
Thank you. I'm glad you like my video.
Mike This was an awesome video! Having your girls working for you is priceless. They will never forget their experience with Dad!!
Mike. Your just so impressive. Doing some concrete work at home. Cant tell you how informative you are. Thank you
Great craftsmanship and even greater teaching to two young adults who will carry these skills the rest of their lives. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks Dan!
Mike I work in IT, have no concrete business, but love your videos for home DIY which I enjoy and there a lot of people out there like me. Thanks for passing on your hard earned skills, you don't skip any steps and show how to correct faults which happen in the real world. Thanks mate!
Was trying pick a concrete video out of like 30 options.Glad I ran into this video.Your a great instructor.very detailed and easy to understand.You have me excited to pour a slab for a shed here soon😆.Thanks for your help
I have never seen anyone better at this. Plus your knowledgeable communications is amazing!! Thank you!!
It's nice to see father-daughter work experiance! Greetings from Poland. ;)
I agree. It is nice.
WOW!
This is great free learning on how to lay concrete and nicely stamp it.
It is heavy work, because I have seen back home in Central México when I was a kid. It was really heavy work because I remember helping around my dad and the help around the house.
GREAT WORK SIR and your girls really tough workers!
Thank you for the amazing video and commentary.
Thank you very much!
That’s a great family working together and it’s satisfying to watch the video. I never seen concrete videos before
Really enjoyed seeing a family work as one. Will try a very small one.
This guy is great. A true professional. The 2 concrete companies I hired were complete hacks.
Thanks Jim, Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
In my experience you tend to get what you pay for. Never go with the cheapest guy and always look into their prior work
To Jim W: It is maddening to hire sloppy contractors. In the future, take note of their names and company monikers. Take their monkey business and plaster them all over the web -- all over the world!
Those girls know how to work! I'm sure you're proud of them. :)
Very proud of them!
those girls are awesome!!!
they thick
Dear David: It is nice to have a family giving each other support, help, and encouragement. The daughters can even earn some pocket money for college, whilst dad saves money and overhead regarding regular male contractor employees.
And they'll last longer if they wear masks and gloves
THANKS for taking the time and hassle to share your knowledge!
You make this looks so easy and simple when in reality there's alot of more to it. Looks nice, would love to put this in my backyard one day.
Great job Mr. Mike; my dad was a brick mason and the some of the BEST days of my life were the days that I got to work with him! Your daughter and her friends will never forget these times of working with you; you are a great and good man!
Great work sir, fantastic team with lady power.
It really helps to know how to build a project like this.
Thank you.
Go Abby, Tia and Dad! Go! Excellent job all of you! Very Inspirational!
Awesome job! I've got a 24x24 patio that i need to build for myself going back and forth between a deck and a slab, and this video is giving me a lot more confidence to be able to complete the concrete work myself. I was blown away by the quotes i was getting for a slab, so i decided i'm going to learn to do it myself. Really informative video, and great step by step for a DYI'er. I also found it extremely satisfying watching that water flow off the slab perfectly!
Excellent video. So great to see your daughters helping you. That’s really teaching them some character buddy, way to go.
Thanks 👍
That's a pretty good job really good explanation and see you too princess working with you just remind my dad with his princess the only daughter he have she was she was helping and anything she could. Thanks for sharing this video on your personal life.
I will be getting rid of my deck and having a patio put in soon. I'm wondering whether I could do it on my own, after watching your inspiring video. Wonderful that you had your daughters helping you.
The skills they have acquired from you are valuable, indeed.
Bro i love the connections you with your daughter's, by the look at it this is not their first job of concrete work they all awesome and know what to do... Cheers
Absolutely brilliant, I came here to watch “how to” and ended up learning way more than expected. In this video alone, I learn how to keep cost down, profits up, patiences, tips on what to do and what not to do, different tools and that your a pretty awesome father. 100% pure knowledge with no distractions of ads, always on topic and no crazy video shaking. Your commentary made me want to stick around for every second of this video and I did. Not to mention the willingness of your daughter agreeing to help in the scorching weather is a sign of your great teaching rubbing off onto her. This was best 27minutes 12 seconds I’ve spent in a long time during my quarantine. Thanks for this awesome content!!! You rock!!!
Thank you! I appreciate it!!
I agree with you fy hx 100% I feel the same way Great Video Señor Mike
K
Definitely awesome. I didn't even have any interest in concrete, just wanted to compare a job that my friend had paid someone to do for her and now im an expert lol🤣
I'm gonna go there tomorrow puffing up my chest on His knowledge like im the new cockerel in town 😆😆😼🥰
Jim Tyler come on man
Great video. Favorite part of it was your two girls helping you. Fantastic example you're setting for them (they're hard workers!) and for young women in general!
Yes! Thank you!
respect: family work. girls hustling the concrete, helping dad.. good stuff.
Thank you!
Watching you work tricks my mind into thinking I have accomplished something. Thanks.
Wow, great work Mike! I'm very impressed by your attention to detail and NO short-cuts! It's great watching and learning from someone who takes a pride in what he does! Thank you for a great video - regards from South Africa!
Thanks for watching Neville!!
This was so fascinating to watch. This didn't even feel like a 27 minute long video. I especially loved seeing that you had your girls helping out for a bit. They really looked like they knew what they were doing. You taught them well. Great job.
Watching from South Africa, you take great pride in your job, blessed to have such good and hard-working daughters.
Bless your heart.
I'm just looking around trying to figure out how to fill a patio crack and got mesmerized by this whole video, great teamwork, pattern looks terrific and wow did you hustle (even with vid sped up, you could just tell). Mike thanks for showing this, gives us much more appreciation for the talent and all that goes into concrete work.... Niiiiiccccce : )
wow, that sealant really makes a difference!
Yea, it makes the color really POP
That is the nicest stamped concrete job I have ever seen. I did not know that you could get such a realistic finish from stamps. And, that is no idle praise from me since I was raised by a cement contractor and, like your daughters, I was a laborer for most of my youth, which was my motivation to do well in college. You do great work.
Thank you Jack!
Wow watch the whole thing. Looks amazing
I have to say this video is amazing, lol I tried to build a patio and it wasn't nothing like this one lol but watching this really taught me a lot and the way he laid those stamp mats was really something that taught me something difference. Sir I have to say thank you for video, hey keep them coming!!!
I'm not a concrete person, just a homeowner, great looking job!
Thank you
I have two girls also and seeing your girls help you with the job made me so happy. I am now subscribed and sold and your channel. Keep it up! You seem like a great person/dad.
Thank you Robert!
Just beautiful too see you're kid's helping in the job site! teaches them the value of hard earned money.
I wish all people were as thorough as you Mr. CRAFTSMAN !!! Thank you for such a good video.
Nice job Mike, you need to start a hands on academy (I'd pay for that). You're teaching skills are great, until then I'll keep watching and learning. -Norcal Mike
I'm thinking about it, just trying to figure out the logistics.
Absolutely beautiful Mike. Great job
Thanks Buddy!!
I'm not going to lie here. You did an absolute amazing job. Super meticulous and clean. I'm having my patio and sidewalk done and was curious about the process. I hope they're at least half as good as you! Thank you. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB!!
