I
want to add a 4 square yard extension to an existing driveway that was
poured by the ready-mix truck. Thx. -B


Get the truck. It may even be cheaper. BTW don't expect it to match
what you have either from the truck or the bag. The sand and other
materials used will make for some difference. The finish you put on it

will
make a bigger difference and the age of the concrete will also make a
difference. Just accept it will not match now and you will be a lot
happier.

Stain the concrete after it ages for about 6 months. This will go a long way
to making the colors match.
