Did you feel like it was necessary to have a cement truck for such a small job. As opposed to just mixing it up yourself in a wheelbarrow or cement mixer?
Within the first hour of pouring, but you have to pour the concrete dry. Also when the driver cleans his chute save that concrete and keep it wet so you can use it to touch up any imperfections when the forms are pulled.

Our building codes require 8 bag mix, from a verified source to pass inspection.
@@ozarkhandyman7031 I should've figured there was a good explanation. Thanks for the info.
could you give a ballpark time of how long until you can take forms off the curbing to do the finish trowel work (1 to 4 hours later?)

U could save money and set forms and pour in 4 hours with 10 concrete mix bags of 80 pounds 4 hours or less job
Definitely an option, I do these as a subcontractor so they provide the concrete, also our codes require 8 bag mix.
