Ugh, local weather says it could freeze tonight! We are inland, so generally we are about 5 degrees warmer, but still. There is nothing on the concrete now, its exposed.

Samoan Contractor Guy should've done it for you as part of the job.

Did he put expansion joints in it every 8 feet?
Yes
Did he put plastic underneath so the soil wouldn't suck the moisture out and dry it prematurely from below?
No, but the soil here in Seattle is very soggy this time of year
Did he install steel reinforcing mesh properly?
Yes
Did he put some sawhorses or some other barrier out by the street so no one inadvertently drives on it for a week?
Yes
