Should there be wire mesh in sidewalk?
Wire mesh should always be placed in a sidewalk. The wire mesh reinforces concrete that is only strong in compression. The concrete expands and contract in the summer and winter and the mesh will minimize cracking. It also helps when your neighbor drives his pick up truck across your sidewalk. Whenever a concrete road/bridge deck is placed reinforcing steel or heavy mesh is in it. The state agency doesn't do it unless it's needed.
How long after pouring concrete do you apply sealer?
Depending on what kind of sealer you use, the concrete should be completely dry and firm enough to walk on.

Check out the products as you go and see what might work best for you. See the attached link.
