Abstract: A concrete screeding tool includes an elongated stake, a disk, and a bar. The stake has a longitudinal axis, an outer surface, a first end, and a second end. The disk extends radially from the outer surface. The bar is spaced from the outer surface and is parallel to the longitudinal axis. Slurry depth is measured by vertically positioning the concrete screeding tool spaced from an outer frame; pouring a slurry into the frame; placing a screeding board between the bar and the elongated stake and on the outer frame; and leveling the slurry with a sawing motion. The tool is small and durable, is easy to set up and clean, prevents dips in concrete, makes bull floating concrete easier, and can save man hours in screeding the concrete level.
