"Usually the edges have to hounched up meaning if the block doesn't fit directly up to fence or a finished edge ,mortar has to placed around it to hold it together,then the day after I would spread kiln dried sand all over and proceed to whacker plate this sand into the blocks meaning the sand is all the way from the bottom of the block to the top ,then your good to go, so usually a day after completion

"Allowing at least five days for concrete to cure
You must allow at least five days for your new driveway to completely cure before parking on it. There are several factors that can affect how long the concrete needs to cure. Adding too much water can lengthen the time it takes to cure."
