Can anyone give me a ball park cost for a yard of concrete? Does the price per yard go down as the yardage goes up? My project will take about 68 yards. Thanks __________________ Bill Waller New Eagle, PA Using Google as "pennsylvania+concrete+price" yields, for a common variety: 12+ yards, $101.00/yard plus tax from Hartzle's Concrete. This is a LOT of concrete (6 - 8 truck loads). Are you sure you've got your figures honed to perfection? |

Thanks __________________ Bill Waller New Eagle, PA Why not ask your local dealer? At 68 yard you'll be getting the best price. Hope you have a lot of help lined up. Pricing also takes into account how it must be delivered. Just a dump? Pump? What mix? |

A cubic yard is L*w*d= /27 assuming the measurements are in feet or a fraction thereof. 1foot*27foot*1foot = 27 /27 = 1 cubic yard The first 3 yards (here) cost more because of the haul charge and the price per yard is less after that. -- Colbyt Please come visit www.househomerepair.com |

Maybe it's a sidewalk: 1/3 foot deep (4") x 3' wide x 27' long = 1 cubic yard. 68 yards x 27' = 1,836 feet. |

The project is the replacement of a 310', plus large parking area driveway. The total area is ± 5550 sq. ft. On top of that, I am considering having the front staircase redone plus a small slab for an outdoor shower. ....and no, I am NOT going to do it myself. I plan on going out for bids this week. __________________ Bill Waller New Eagle, PA |

Ask the local pre-mix or talk to the contractor. Any figure given here will not be what you pay there whereever it is. Harry K |

Concrete costs vary due to availability of stone, sand,
competition, etc. All concrete is going up with fuel surcharges, etc on almost a daily basis. Admixtures and fibers increase the cost. All this said, only your local supplier could possibly price the concrete to you. For a ball park figure, use $100 per cubic yard. As a home owner, one-time purchaser you will NOT get competitive pricing. A local concrete man may well buy concrete cheaper than you can possibly get it. Most suppliers offer an additional 1 1/2% if paid by the xxx of the month. I can't imagine a contractor sharing that with you. -- ______________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . . .
