I finally stopped worrying about broom finish direction on driveways
After 12 years of always pushing my broom perpendicular to the curb I saw a job in Phoenix where the guy ran his lines at a 45 degree angle across a 3-car pour. Looked way better and hid the tire marks from the homeowner pulling in too early. Been doing it that way ever since on residential stuff. Anybody else try different angles or am I overthinking this?

Are you sure the 45 degree trick ACTUALLY hides tire marks or does it just make them less noticeable in the afternoon sun? I tried it once on a darker stamp finish and the lines looked all wavy and messed up because I couldn't keep a consistent angle across the whole pour. Might be a hot climate thing where the concrete sets slower and gives you more time to get it right.
