Shack Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 And what mix you are buying also!Buying as a regular Joe,I would say a good deal on 6 bag, would be around $100-$110 a yard if you buy in a non-short load situation, will not frills add in now we are done (gosh I hope) with added warming charges for the mix. With fuel sur-charges and short load prices, it will most likely increase as the summer rolls on. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawdog Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 so I was asking a guy about putting in a pad for in front of my garage and I was told the one guy would probably charge 2.65 to 2.75 a square foot. Would that be a price that includes the concrete or would that be more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just got 5 yards of a footing mix had to come in 2 loads because of road restrictions it was about $140.00/cu.yrd. I am working with a contractor who needs 8 yards of colored spec. curb mix who is paying $300/cu. yrd. Your best bet is to call the redimix plant close to you tell them you dimensions L x W x D and they will give you a cost estimate. Also they will want to know if you are on a 5 ton road (which all City streets are unitl road restrictions come off). I am in the north metro area.

Would that be a price that includes the concrete or would that be more? I would have to say Lawdog, no. That is just a finishing charge and a good price I might add. Also I would say that does not include forming, rebar or ground prep. Make sure when you sign or go with someone, this is worked out before hand.Also do not for get about tax and like Biff just said, add in's like fiber are going to be extra. Now-a-days, a short load charge will be added in if the load is under 5 yards (used to be 3.5 yards a couple years back).A good formula to go by for a 2x4 formed level area is:W x L x .33=?, then divide this by 27 to get your total cubic yards. Add in 5% to 10% of this total number for and insurance you will not be short.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozer Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Rumor has road restrictions are going off on friday May 9th. So if you need a larger load it will be cheaper after they go off since they might only have to make one trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatfixer Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 They go off May 12th at midnight in the northern region. In other words tuesday morning we can start hauling full loads. By the way $99.50/yd - 4000 psi.(6 bag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul pachowicz Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 area estimate for concreteW X L X 4 divided by 327 the 3 is one 4th of a footthe 27 is the number of sq feet in a yardexample:10 X 10 = 100 ( lenght X width)100 X 4 = 400400 divided by 327 = 1.25 yds mudFOOL PROOF formula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSB Ice Man Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 The slide-rule concrete calculators work well too. If you want 4" concrete, take your length X width and divide by 81. For 3.5" concrete divide by 93. I usually grade my slabs at 3.5 inches, then tamp it and order for 4" concrete. I never run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maros91 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 yep, same thing I do. Never run out. Always want to much than not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom7227 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 If you have too much don't you end up paying to get rid of the leftover? I thought I could take care of that by making a form and dumping the extra into it and make a bumper for the end of the drive. All I had was 2 X 10's. The extra ended filling the thing up. The sides bowed out and I ended up with this huge thing that weighed so much we could hardly move it into place. It's good for a laugh now but was a PIA at the time.
