PSA: I keep seeing guys skip the broom finish on exterior slabs
I was at a job site in Spokane last week where the crew just power troweled a patio and called it done, no broom at all. That surface is gonna be slick as ice with the first rain and someone's gonna take a bad fall. How do you even forget that basic step?

Maybe it's not that big a deal for every patio. Some finishes are pretty rough even without a broom, so they might still have decent grip. Could just be a style choice that works fine.

My uncle's patio was power troweled and it's like an ice rink after rain. Honestly that smooth finish is a real problem.

A power trowel leaves it way too smooth for safety, that's just asking for a slip and fall lol. It's not a style choice, it's skipping a basic safety step.
