New driveway poured. 5 inch pour, 6 bag, 4000 psi, wire mesh... The concrete truck guy said keep it wet for at least three days then you can drive on it. Concrete crew said wait 48 hours then whatever I wanted. My dad (retired old school contractor) said to wet for two weeks and wait a month to drive on it.
I currently have 2 sprinklers keeping the whole surface evenly wet. I was going to water for three days. I read that at this point it's going to have 80% it's compression strength and already be stronger than letting it air dry.
Any concrete experts lurking around here?
