Was wondering what the price of concrete was these days delivered per yd?

Just under a hundred bucks in Detroit Lakes....

hahaha, 90-150 depending on who and where you are.

and how much you're buyin'

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.

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?

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.

Prices I have found in the Elk River-Isanti-Becker area with a 6 bag, Fiber mix is $115-$130 a yard.

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.

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.

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)

area estimate for concrete
W X L X 4 divided by 327
the 3 is one 4th of a foot
the 27 is the number of sq feet in a yard

example:
10 X 10 = 100 ( lenght X width)
100 X 4 = 400
400 divided by 327 = 1.25 yds mud

FOOL PROOF formula

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.

yep, same thing I do. Never run out. Always want to much than not enough.

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.
