Abstract
A decorative concrete with a very uniform finish surface and a method of fabricating the same is disclosed. A concrete mixture is poured over a subgrade which defines an exposed surface. The exposed surface is finished with any of several techniques, and the surface is then worked with an abrasive material, and additional techniques are used to color and seal the concrete.

A method of forming a decorative concrete slab having a highly uniform exposed surface, comprising:
- pouring a concrete mixture over a subgrade, the concrete mixture defining an exposed top surface when poured;
- finishing the exposed top surface;
- allowing the concrete to harden;
- working the exposed top surface with an abrasive to roughen the top surface and form a highly visually uniform exposed top surface;
- and
- applying a surface retarder to the exposed top surface after the working with the abrasive.
