Cost guide

Concrete cost per yard

Ready-mix concrete is usually priced by the cubic yard, but the delivered price can change with location, strength mix, additives, truck minimums, short-load fees, distance, and placement method.

What to confirm before ordering

• Required mix strength and slump for the project.
• Whether the supplier has a minimum order quantity.
• Truck access, chute reach, and whether a pump is needed.
• Waste allowance for uneven subgrade and edge forms.

Use the calculator result with the 10% waste number as a starting point, then confirm final quantity with your concrete supplier or contractor.
