A power screed for smoothing freshly poured concrete and a method of operating the screed is described. The screed has adjustable vertical support means to account for uneveness in the supporting surface. The support means are located near each side of the screed and are controlled by hydraulic motors. The screed can be adjusted manually and/or automatically through the use of an external laser source. When concrete is poured, it is roughly smoothed by rakes or similar tools. The screed is then advanced over the concrete with the lowest level of the screed determining the level of the surface of the concrete. Where the supporting surface upon which the concrete is poured is uneven, the screed can be raised or lowered to ensure that the upper surface of the concrete is level. The support means are each composed of two screw jacks mounted on a ski. As the screed advances through the concrete, the support means leaves a track in the concrete which must be smoothed and filled manually. Presently, the level of a screed is controlled by bulkheads located at either side of the screed. The bulkheads must be installed in such a manner that an upper level of th bulkheads corresponds to an upper level of the finished concrete. With the present invention, the bulkheads can be eliminated.
