Why are small footing pours expensive per yard?
The truck, driver, batching, setup, and crew minimums do not shrink much just because the order is small.

Concrete Footing Cost
Footing cost is driven by excavation, frost depth, width, rebar, concrete volume, and whether a pump or short-load delivery is needed.

Typical Cost Ranges
| Item | Typical Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Deck post footing | $75-$250 each | Small isolated footing |
| Continuous wall footing | $15-$45/linear ft | Width, depth, and rebar matter |
| Short-load delivery | $50-$150+ | Common on small footing pours |
How To Estimate It
- Footing volume = length x width x depth
- Cubic yards = total cubic feet / 27
FAQs
How deep should concrete footings be?
Depth depends on frost line, soil, code, and structure load. Always confirm structural dimensions before pouring.
