Do not for get to "float" your concrete and trial the edges. Using a 2 x 4 simply fills the edeges of your forms and levels the surface.

Also, it is much easier to use rebar stakes to drive in the ground and remove when setting up your form boards.

I would also recommend using a rough broom finish below the water line. You may also consider a steel rake to establish traction lines.

If you do not kno what you are doing you can really make a mess and it is very expensive to redo. You would be able to tell a huge difference in a do it your self project and a professional job done by a crew with experience.
