EdgersEdgers produce a radius along the slab edge which help the slab resist chipping and damage after the forms are removed. Perform edging after the bleedwater disappears from the concrete surface. Related Links: On most floors, edging will not be required, but on patios, curbs, sidewalks, and driveways, it produces a tighter, cleaner looking edge that is more resistant to chipping. Hand edgers require kneeling next to the slab and performing the edging operation. A walking edger attaches to a handle and allows the finisher to walk alongside the slab to edge the concrete. Different edgers produce different edge radiuses: 1/8" through 1" radius edgers are available. There are special edgers for steps and curb and gutter work.
