Troweled & broomed
Broom finish
A bristle broom dragged across the fresh slab. The cheapest finish there is, the most slip-resistant, and — laid straight, jointed thoughtfully and kept clean — a completely respectable surface.
Essential cost band
The workhorse option. Does the job, lasts, and is what most of a yard is made of.
