If they warranty their work do as they say and document it. A lot of concrete companies are against covering or spraying it down. Concrete is a science every batch can be tailor made

When I think of spalling it’s usually the rebar rusting and expanding causing the concrete to separate. “Spalling” or losing the top finish from pealing can be caused by multiple factors. Yes much is caused by oxidation of rebar, but there are other reasons. |

Concrete begins to shrink once it loses it's original hydration - should've been covered after the final finish & control joints cut 10'-12'within 24-hrs of casting back your section.

No cracks so far, been watering down two or three times a day. I removed the wood forms yesterday since they never came back. I doubt I ever see them again and that is fine by me. The rain screwed it up a little with some rock showing in sections, but it isn't the end of the world. Hopefully, when I finally park the truck on it in a few weeks it won't break and I will be fine with it.
Still got a pile of broken concrete to deal with, I am going to call them in a couple of days if they do not pick it up by then.
