Concrete curing help - how much to water?

[Pauls234]

Hey all,

So many experts on concrete, surfaces, corrosion, etc around here so looking for thoughts.

Apron (below sidewalk) portion of my driveway was just redone with concrete. I know watering during curing helps improve strength and it is 90 here. But what schedule? Sprinkler over it for x minutes daily? Or just a daily spray? And for how many days?

Concrete was poured this am. It is through a city curb/ concrete improvement program so that's why I can't ask guy who did work.

Can't think of how it might help but if it does here is a pic.

Thx!
Paul

Wet curing should be done for the first week, minimum of 5 times a day to obtain standing water and if possible not to allow the water to evaporate, after 28 days it reaches up to 90 percent curing.

I was about to ask a follow up question but after reading your sentence several times I realized you've already given the answers. Super helpful, thank you!
