Cost Estimate for 9'x18' x6"

Purchasing ready-mix concrete is by far the easiest way to mix concrete for medium to large projects and can even be used on smaller projects as well. We have provided a cost comparison between ready mix and DIY concrete premix bags to give you a rough ballpark estimate.

Bag Cost Estimate

Pre-mixed concrete bags cost on average $3.50 per 80lb bag. Using pre-mixed bags to cover 162 sq ft at a depth of 6", the estimated cost is $472.50
$472.50
for 135 x 80lb bags

Truck Cost Estimate

Ready-mixed concrete costs on average $108.22 per cubic yard delivered. Using a concrete truck to cover 162 sq ft at a depth of 6", the estimated cost is $324.66

Concrete trucks may also charge a "short load" fee for partially filled loads. Short load fees are charged at about $17 for every yard not used on the truck.

So for a 10 cu/yd Truck Load - 3 cu/yd concrete = 7
7 x $17.00 = $119.00
$324.66 + $119.00 = $443.66
$443.66

*6 inch pours and under.
**Cost assumes subbase and general prep is done.

Concrete Extras

A well-compacted subbase provides a strong foundation for concrete to lay on. We recommend you contact your nearest concrete supplier for their recommendations on whether you need a subbase, base depth, and rock type.

With a brief look, a 9x18 area at 6 inches deep, you would need approximately 4.26 tons or 3 cubic yards of gravel.

Concrete reinforcing is also recommended in high traffic areas and medium to large areas. Wire mesh on average costs $0.56 per sq ft and fiber mesh costs $0.13 per sq ft.

So for your 162 sq ft area, this may roughly cost $90.72 for wire mesh, $486.00 for thicker wire rebar mesh and $21.06 for fiber mesh.

*Reinforcing for 10 inch pours and under.
How to Calculate Concrete Amount for 9x18 x6"
9 * 18 = 162 sq ft
6 / 12 = 0.5 ft depth
162 * 0.5 = 81 cu ft
81 / 27 = 3
= 3 cu/yd
How to Calculate Concrete Weight
3 * 3590 = 10770 lbs
Density of concrete used 2130 kg/m3or 133 lbs/ft3.
