Excavation, Foundation and Flatwork

By placing the cellar half in the ground, we saved on hauling cost and maximized the view.

We treated the exposed concrete with a tilt-up patch to create an almost smooth as glass surface. The 1st coat leveled everything out. We then burnished the second coat with steel trowels. The third coat was sanded off while it was still green to bring the burnished layer through. Finally, we topped it off with three coats of a matte sealer.
