    Do I need to saw cut my concrete pad if I used both rebar and fiber mesh?
    I poured a 4" slab with a thickend edge and have rebar as well as fiber mesh in the concrete. Do I need to saw cut the slab?

    How large is the slab, like maybe a two car garage? Cutting into quarters is a good idea. Rebar or not it will eventually crack and the saw cuts give it a chance to make a clean line and releave the stress evenly.
