Remove grass and top soil or you will see differential settlement. May crack the slab. Compact with jumping jack. Run field proctor via DOTD 15-B. Shoot density test with nuclear gauge. Passing is 95 % compaction at 13% moisture. Proof roll with pneumatic double axle truck with 15 tons. Insure proper subgrade modulus.

Then pour concrete at a 3-5 inch slump.

get him to use fiber instead of wire mesh. it is more integral and holds the concrete together better

as long as it is level i dont think it would matter since it will all be dead
Isn't the level part accomplished at the top, not tha bottom? I am from Washitaugh, the only slump I know of is not finding a sorostitute at the Dugout for three straight weeks.
Pretty sure you wil need more ball bearings than have been talked about previously.
