No, he was hired to do all the prep work and pouring, finishing etc. They
excavated down, laid rebar etc. It looked normal to me, not that I'm an
expert. I basically live on top of a gravel pit, so no matter how far you
go down, it's all gravel/sand base. Now as far as curing, what's to be done
except stay off of it. I heard you wet it down every couple of days to help
it cure but we had rain on day 2 and day 5 after pouring. He gave me no
instructions to do anything.

JJ,

Was the contractor supposed to do all of the work involved in this
driveway or just pour the concrete? You mention not using the driveway
until it cured but not how the curing was done or who was responsible for
this. I'd guess based on what little info you provide that the driveway
was not properly cured or the ground under the driveway wasn't prepped, or
the wrong concrete was used. It needs to be completely redone. I'd suggest
that you get the contractor's insurance info and look for another
contractor unless you were doing most of the work yourself.
