1 Use a sawing motion to pull and push the 2x4 across the concrete as you move it down the length of the forms. This sawing motion helps prevent tearing as you level the surface.  Tilt the leading edge slightly away from the direction of travel to create a thin cutting edge where the screed board meets the concrete.
Below are best practices that the American Concrete Institute and most experienced concrete professional recommend. 1  Make sure concrete is poured over a solid base. 2  A driveway slab should be no less then 5â³ in thickness. 3  Use 4000 psi concrete with a water reducer and low chert aggregates. Fiber and steel reinforcement should be used together or a high dosage of Macro fibers. Concrete finishing should be done after all the water on top of the surface (bleed water) is gone. Early finish will cause surface problems later.
