Medium-to-fine-texture broom finish: Draw a soft-bristle broom across float-finished concrete surface, perpendicular to line of traffic, to provide a uniform, fine-line texture.

A broom finish concrete driveway ranges from $8 to $12 a square foot. This is the most common and popular textured finish for concrete. A stiff broom is pushed through the concrete, leaving behind a distinct texture.

Broom finished concrete is usually sealed to keep out road salts, stains, mold and mildew. Penetrating concrete sealers are the best option to seal broom finished concrete as they will not change the look or the appearance but will provide the longest lasting protection.
