Again it comes down to how much of this you need or want to do.


800-1,000 sf.

GOOD GRIEF, man, you will kill yourself!


He should probably also look into stamped concrete, assuming that a
concrete truck can get close enough and drainage of the area isin't an
issue.

I also don't know if we're talking about a large rectangular area (40 x
20, 30 x 30, etc) or is this a 2-foot wide path that's 450 feet long?

He would need 8.3 yards of concrete to do 900 sq feet, 3" deep. Or 5.5
yards if it was 2" deep.

The smaller concrete mixing trucks come in a variety of sizes, from
about 3 to 6 cubic yards, and the large trucks can carry 10 cubic
yards. Most will want to do an order of 5 cy minimum.

The cost per delivered yard has basically doubled over the past 5 years,
to about $120 to $150 per cy.

So assuming 7 cubic yards and $140 per yard delivered, he'd be looking
at about $1000 for concrete. Coloring, form work and stamping would be
extra. Even if that cost another $1000, then he's looking at $2000 for
900 sq feet, or about $2.25 per sq ft.
