Estimating Notes

  • Use 4 inches for patios and sidewalks; use 5 to 6 inches for heavier garage or driveway slabs.
  • Add 10% waste before ordering concrete, especially if the subgrade is uneven.
  • Stamped finishes can cost more than the concrete itself, so compare plain and decorative results before quoting.
