I'm planning to make a concrete driveway by myself but planning to call a concrete truck for a pour.
Problem is that my driveway is narrow and there is a hill on the right side. So the truck can't just go along the driveway from that side. The houses are built in a staircase style going down in a slight decline.
In my mind, the only possible way the truck can go is from the end to the front. My worry is that he will need to go over the bar reinforcement. I worry this will damage the rebar spacing.
How is this type of concrete pouring done normally if this is the only way for the truck to go?
Will I need to put the rebars in as the truck moves?
What is the minimum width of the concrete driveway in Ohio anyway?

I'd have the rebar (or mesh) laid out and tied in manageable sections. Have a team of four or more people walk each section in the driveway out to the side during the inner pour. Walk them back into position as you work through the outer pour, following the truck's departure.
