A guy on a job site told me to stop overworking my concrete edges

I was finishing a driveway in Austin last month and this older finisher walked over. He said I was messing up the edges by going back over them 3 or 4 times with my edger. He told me to just do one clean pass and leave it alone. I tried it on the next slab and the edges came out way sharper with less chipping. Has anyone else gotten a tip about overworking that actually helped?

Yeah exactly, one clean pass lets the cream do the work without dragging in aggregate.

Exactly. "One clean pass" is the whole secret.
