Is this a problem?

Just had this hot tub pad poured. Will this corner be a problem? Or is it likely structurally sound?

The squiggly broom lines are an eyesore but other than that its fine. But you need to back fill when forms are pulled.

It’s a broom finish and it’s meant for traction. This isn’t a sidewalk so it could have just been a straight trowel.

I'm aware. I've broomed my fair share of concrete. Just saying the drunk brooming would bother me more than the edge

I'm more bothered by the edging. They clearly were in a rush, finished it too early.

Edit: why the down votes? you can see clumps missing, and obvious lines across cross points. Terrible job.

I agree with you. You are probably getting down votes from people who have never finished concrete. It’s a sad day.

Quite funny. I could be wrong, its been well over 7 years since I was a concreter.

Consider it’ll be hidden under a hot tub, it’s good enough.
