Concrete Slab Construction Concrete Slabs DVD Concrete Slab Video.

Water down the grade a day before pouring concrete and prior to pouring concrete slab, preventing water from being absorbed from the concrete mixture.

Have a designated area for the Ready-mix truck to wash out, or wheelbarrow.

Delivery drivers will put there own shoots on and discharge concrete. Let the driver know what slump you want before pouring concrete slab. Most drivers should be able to accommodate the desired slump(Moisture content). (6 inch slump min. 7 inch slump max. suggested)
Time is a factor, don't waist any time pouring out, Rodded off and Tamped. Note; (The longer it takes the faster the concrete slab will set.)

Have enough help with you leveling the concrete as your pouring the slab. Pour 1/3 of the concrete slab, Stop, Rod off. Then repeat this process until done.
Do not over pour!

Start Tamping. While Tamping, your helpers can use a Magnesium float to level the edges to existing concrete slab and
forms. After Tamping, your concrete slab or driveway
should Bleed.

(Bullfloat after Bleeding minimizes.) Not Bleeding, Bullfloat immediately .
Starting from where you started the pour, Bullfloat the concrete slab in two different directions, if possible, to assure a level surface.

Then, edge perimeters of the drive with a Walking Edger.
Edging, takes a light touch the first go round, be careful not to push the slab edge down. If so, bring it back using a Magnesium float.
