About the concrete yardage calculator
How accurate is it?
It is a planning estimate. Grade, forms and the mix change real orders, and we confirm every number in your estimate.
Why add extra for waste?
Uneven ground, spills and form movement use more concrete than the math says, so five to ten percent extra is common.
When do I need a truck instead of bags?
A few small slabs can be done with bagged mix. Anything much larger is easier with a mixer truck, which often carries around ten yards.
