Just a query. How do u stop mould growing on a concrete surface. Not how to clean it, as I have a pressure cleaner, but how to prevent it growing in the first instance. Its a shady area that is the problem.
@@Blue1Sapphire Simplest and cheapest method is 50/50 bleach. Mixed in a wide bucket and use a 12" wide very soft poly brittle broom like a boat deck brush. Dip the brush in the bleach, shake the brush to drop the excess into the bucket and then gently scrub the concrete. Don't get it on anything that you don't want to damage. >>> Like your nice grass lawn! Do this cleaning on a very cloudy day or at sun up before it gets too hot. You can go back and redo a scrub as you need. The first scrub and let sit will assure the mold will die and clean up. The second pass will assure a nice even clean concrete. Take your garden hose and wash down the concrete thoroughly!! Once dry, you can use a concrete sealer if you wish! Have fun, Cheers
@@lisab3396 how about just using straight cement mixed with water and spreading it over the concrete surface. Cement is alkaline I believe and so should prevent mould growing.
Wow I looked at the time frame of this video over an hour and thought I would skip through it. No - I sat and watched the complete video , it was so interesting the the hour flew by and I learned LOTS. Thanks for sharing your skills ....

Is this just plain concrete overlay? Or does it have self leveling epoxy in it as well? Can this be used on a concrete slab that has cracked and is uneven to make a smooth, level surface again?
this is a great video. thanks for the thoroughness and simplicity. I'm not a DYF person but I like to understand what is expected from those I hire. Thanks again.
Hi there. Thank you so much for the informative video. I was just wondering, the concrete in my garage is chipping similar to the sidewalk shown at the beginning of the video. Would you recommend that I use this method for the concrete inside my garage? or is there a totally different method when it comes to inside concrete? Thanks again.
All your work is awesome. As a do it right the first time guy I see quality work is done on all your projects. I have seen numerous videos you all post and are champion videos. Keep that shit up!! I will be an on going customer in the future.
Thank you so much! We really do appreciate your feedback and loyalty. Feel free to send us a review at 1-844-LEGGARI (534-4274) or customerservice@leggari.com if you would like. Thank you!
One guy said just use Quikcreate but in my experience and if you live in areas like Utah where snow gets everywhere, I have seen people here using Quikrete and they have to repeat themselves all over every summer or two, literally. I have also seen other people using similar solutions like this and they typically last 10+ years. I'm sold!
Great video.. I need this, I checked the price on this.. I think I must do new concrete compared to the price difference.. but as far as a DIY job looks doable.
So that's how the professionals do it! ( Was thinking of protecting my concrete porch) Working with your hands outdoors all day must be rewarding for you.
Did you not see him spray the surface with water out of his pump sprayer like 4-5 times, and then hose it down with the garden hose? He CLEARLY TELLS YOU TO “HYDRATE “ the surface! This is a stupid question!!! Not trying to be hurtful, but listen to the directions again.
I have an existing 1/4 overlay that was done a couple of years ago. I’ve noticed several small irregular cracks. I’m sure it’s because of the concrete underneath the overlay. What is the best way to repair / hide these small cracks?
We recommend using paintable latex caulking for small crack repairs on existing overlay, adjusting the caulk to match the overlay color as closely as possible for a seamless finish. Apply the caulk tightly for optimal results.
@@LeggariProducts awesome thank you! Is there a particular latex caulking product you recommend? How do you match overlay color with caulking? they see to only come in gray color.
I think so. I know someone who used bondo for that to seal the cracks and possibly reinforce the cracking from spreading out in the future...if that's even possible. I tried it on my condo floors before I tiled.
Nice work. Next, I'll be looking for a more damaged sidewalk concrete repair video. Breakaways, short of complete replacement and that kind of thing. Very informative video guys. Cheers!
It seems doable. You make it look so easy. But I'll need to do four 6'x10' slabs of driveway. But some parts of those slabs have cracked and fallen down, up to an inch or two below the driveway. Does this system level everything out, or does that situation require more intensive repair methods?
For that kind of slab movement you have massive underlying issues under that slab. Look at where your downspouts are draining and check to make sure it's finally settled and not moving more. Once it's stable that's when you can look at options to resurface it. Concrete levelling grinding and filling followed by a epoxy finish would be an idea. I'm curious to know if this method works in areas where temps are expressly cold and how well ice may stick to it
Any idea how well does it hold up over time? Does extreme heat (100 +) cause degradation? Is this a new product? Does anyone know how it looks after 5 years?
@@Smokey420Greenleaf Not something they did wrong on the job. Look closer and you'll see those are marks that are actually the concrete itself. Plus, they're using a brush to match the pattern on the slab which originally had a brushed look to it for better grip. The color will match the rest of the surrounding concrete as it ages and sees vehicle/foot traffic and inevitable dirt lol
A tip for using a sprayer; Be sure that the sprayer has a pressure relief valve. Normal valve will open at approx 40 lbs. Take an auto or bicycle tire valve stem, drill a hole to accomodate the valve stem,put the valve stem inside the sprayer and pull through the hole.The hole should be toward the top of the sprayer above the liquid level. Set an air compressor at 30-35 lbs and fill.
@@LeggariProducts Also, remove the tape before it completely dries. Same concept when painting a car. Either the tape becomes too hard to remove or it will remove some of the material you laid down.
That’s a great idea! I’ve wished I could pump my sprayer with a compressor, but didn’t know how to make a valve that would work (one way). That’s great advice. Thanks.
As someone that's newish to pressure washers and has never seen or heard of a pressure release valve for one... Your description while interesting and detailed enough for anyone that has ever seen a pressure release valve..... I have no idea where on earth you are describing to put one😂.
Did a reseal to a smaller section of driveway sidewalk with $10 pail of quickcrete a few years ago. Removed the loose stuff with a broom, hosed it down and mixed material to soupy texture. Used a hand trowel to spread and finished with a seven inch asphalt brush. One coat has lasted three years. A down and dirty option compared to this time consuming effort. It looks fine, not close to the final outcome here but it is just a sidewalk.
Please email customerservice@leggari.com and let us know where you live. We’ll get you in touch with a Leggari Certified installer in your area. Thanks
I like this. I know you guys are pros but I'm thinking that if you have planned where you will finish, it might be a good idea to tape down some overflow paper there outside the last piece of blue tape so you can squeegee extra product across the blue tape onto the paper.
Lol @1:09:02 the cops showed up to see what’s going on. Lol Also, are you able to put pigments into this overlay? How UV stable is this product? Great video.
The video was great - and very professionally done. You guys did an excellent job overall (narration, material application, thorough description of the tools used at each stage of the process)...and the end-result looks great! Pressure washing, taping at least twice, 3 coats of product, followed by 3 coats of sealer, and the requisite drying times between each coat. Plus, the labor component of at least two (and possibly three) people...in addition to the cost of the materials themselves. I couldn't help but to wonder about a cost-comparison between resurfacing that same area - and the cost of breaking out and replacing the concrete. Have you created a cost-comparison? As for myself, my motivation for carefully watching the entire video, was because the concrete in my 3-car garage (from the garage door...progressing two feet inward) is severely eroded and pock-marked due to road salt and slush that melted and fell from the vehicles (in Michigan). So, I'm evaluating my options to deal with this very pitted surface. How does your product hold-up in northern winter conditions? Will it maintain adhesion, or spall and delaminate? Once, again - great job, and great video!
So true! Huge difference between living in the frozen north and living in points south. Then again I don't have to deal with hurricanes and earthquakes.
Wow!!!! Great details and explanation how to do this job and just wondered….. how is your back pain??? I am already exhausted and tired jut to looking at you. I will like call you to do all this! Thanks for your video. I enjoyed it! Good luck
Looks awesome, been looking for a video on this so I can do mine!!! Can I use this product to go over brick and mosaic tiles on my porch? My house was built in 1962. Love the blower, what type is it? Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the video. We all need to understand that the concrete overlay is the cosmetic part of the process not the structural part. So with any cosmetics the process will wear out and need to be redone. Just like cosmetics for people they wear out over time, weather and other things. So will this process.

I was thinking of using this on my concrete front steps. Can you use it on vertical surfaces as well?
id use quickrete's concrete resurfacer, its a lot cheaper, easier to use, faster and it actually matches standard gray concrete.
Makes my back hurt just watching Tim tape.
TAPE - You may want to try using Gaffer's tape. It sticks really well and does not leave a residue.
Is the first coat youre doing a slurry mix ?
Is there a company you recommend to do this as efficiently as is done here .? Rsvp
Please email customerservice@leggari.com and let us know where you live. We’ll get you in touch with a Leggari Certified installer in your area. Thanks
How does this hold up over time?
I like this. I know you guys are pros but I'm thinking that if you have planned where you will finish, it might be a good idea to tape down some overflow paper there outside the last piece of blue tape so you can squeegee extra product across the blue tape onto the paper.
Will this work on a basement floor that's crumbling from water damage?????
Lol @1:09:02 the cops showed up to see what’s going on. Lol
Also, are you able to put pigments into this overlay?
How UV stable is this product?
Great video.
White portland one yes. Pigments don't do well in grey unless you want a dark colour then grey is fine.
Can this be used to resurface a garage floor?
The video was great - and very professionally done. You guys did an excellent job overall (narration, material application, thorough description of the tools used at each stage of the process)...and the end-result looks great! Pressure washing, taping at least twice, 3 coats of product, followed by 3 coats of sealer, and the requisite drying times between each coat. Plus, the labor component of at least two (and possibly three) people...in addition to the cost of the materials themselves. I couldn't help but to wonder about a cost-comparison between resurfacing that same area - and the cost of breaking out and replacing the concrete. Have you created a cost-comparison? As for myself, my motivation for carefully watching the entire video, was because the concrete in my 3-car garage (from the garage door...progressing two feet inward) is severely eroded and pock-marked due to road salt and slush that melted and fell from the vehicles (in Michigan). So, I'm evaluating my options to deal with this very pitted surface. How does your product hold-up in northern winter conditions? Will it maintain adhesion, or spall and delaminate? Once, again - great job, and great video!
So true! Huge difference between living in the frozen north and living in points south. Then again I don't have to deal with hurricanes and earthquakes.
Wow!!!! Great details and explanation how to do this job and just wondered….. how is your back pain???
I am already exhausted and tired jut to looking at you. I will like call you to do all this! Thanks for your video. I enjoyed it! Good luck
Looks awesome, been looking for a video on this so I can do mine!!! Can I use this product to go over brick and mosaic tiles on my porch? My house was built in 1962. Love the blower, what type is it? Thanks for sharing!!!
Very professional job. if i not mistaking this is Florida? 🤔
Works great! 💪 Less work with a smooth paint roller and wood pole.❤
🔥😎
Thanks for the video. We all need to understand that the concrete overlay is the cosmetic part of the process not the structural part. So with any cosmetics the process will wear out and need to be redone. Just like cosmetics for people they wear out over time, weather and other things. So will this process.
