Abstract
A method of forming a concrete wall having a substantially uniform exterior surface texture. The method includes the initial step of pouring concrete into a wall form. The concrete is poured from a first mixture and is allowed to cure. After the concrete is cured, the wall form is removed from the resultant concrete base structure. A roughened texture is then created on the base structure. A finishing mixture is then applied to the roughened texture. The finishing mixture may be created by separating the aggregate from a portion of the remaining first mixture. The finishing mixture creates a smooth texture on the exterior surfaces of the initially formed base structure.

A method of forming a concrete structure comprising the steps of:
- disposing a first concrete mixture into a form, wherein the first concrete mixture includes large aggregate;
- allowing the first concrete mixture to at least partially harden and form a concrete base structure;
- providing a finishing concrete mixture including aggregate;
- and
- applying the finishing mixture to an exterior surface of the base structure.
A method of forming a concrete structure having a substantially uniform exterior surface texture, comprising the steps of:
- allowing a first mixture of concrete including large aggregate to at least partially harden and form a concrete base structure;
- creating a finishing mixture having a lesser amount of large aggregate than the first mixture of concrete;
- and
- applying the finishing mixture to the base structure.
