Cost of pouring concrete for patio
Posted on 5/19/15 at 1:29 pm
Posted on 5/19/15 at 1:29 pm
I am interested in getting concrete poured to make a patio larger. It would be 12 feet by 50 feet, or 600 square feet, in Baton Rouge. Do you guys have an idea of how much that would cost? Do you recommend a company?

How will he do that when he needs about 8 cu yds with waste? Pour that shite on the ground with no need for fill dirt and form boards?
OP is looking at about $2500 minimum subbing it out.

It's $900 worth of concrete ding dong.

Make sure you have expansion joints in the appropriate places.
If the total addition is a uniform 12' x 50' rectangle, you need four distinct (almost) squares 12' x 12'6" in dimension.

glad someone answered this I want to park my boat and a trailer on concrete and was going to extend my back driveway and widen it. It's 45' long and I need to add 10' to width.
so 450 ft sq.
If I can get that for 2500 that's not bad.
Would you let cement trucks drive on the driveway to the new fill spot or have them load into wheelbarrows?
I'm of course worried about parts of the driveway that need to be repaired getting messed up.
Also, kinda unrelated. -- If my front driveway has a crack where it meets the street and I have a sewer access in my driveway, is the city responsible for the repair, or am I? I'm pretty certain that the cracks all are coming from the drain and it weakened the structure.

450 square feet of concrete that is 4" thick will need 3 1/2 cubic yards of concrete to do it.
That's going to cost you about $500.00 to pay the company supplying the concrete to you.
Don't let the concrete mixer truck onto your driveway. Use two or three wheelbarrows.
NOT one. Especially witha suspect area in your driveway.
A piece of driveway 4" thick that is 45' x 10' will make its own cracks to relieve tension about every 10-14 feet. Do yourself a favor and scribe control joints into the concrete while it's still wet to allow the concrete to fail in those joints. Think about the little joints in a sidewalk every eight feet. They are sometimes called "dummy joints" because they don't have a transitional cage under them.
So you'll have five paving panels each 10' wide by 9' long.
Technically, the cracked area is probably on the city's right-of-way and as such they SHOULD be responsible for the remediation. In real life they will probably not repair your driveway unless and until they have to dig up your apron to fix the problem.
Good luck.

Your math is off or mine is but 45x10 at 4" is closer to 6

45' x 10' x 4" (0.3333') = 150 cubic feet
150 cubic feet/ 27 cubic feet per yard = 5.55 cubic yards
Good catch. Brain Fart on my part.
The concrete will cost around $700.00 with tax and possible Shortload Charge.

You'll need 6.48 cubic yards of concrete. Right now, I think concrete is about $116 a cubic yard. But, they may charge you for a full load which is 8 cubic yards, I think. Check with them. Anyway, a full load will be $928. Now, you still have to deal with the forms. If you do it yourself, you'll cut the cost down. You have to have someone to work the concrete. One guy that I used charged me 50 cents a sq. ft. if over 1000 sq. ft. Anything under that, it was closer to $1.00 per sq. ft. You'll have to check in your area. Ask around. People will know who does a good job and who doesn't. A concrete company may have recommendations. Here's a link to figure out how much concrete is needed.

I'm in WBR and just extended my patio. Did about 700 Sq feet for around 2600

Home Depot find some undocumented workers pick up some ready mix and knock it out in a few hours.
Posted on 5/20/15 at 9:51 pm to lsulaker
(LxWxH)/27=CY baw. Probably a 6" slab. Lookin at a little over 11CY. 3000psi concrete will probably run you a little over $93/CY not including the short load fee. That'll run you about $1000 plus some wwm and formwork. Do that yourself and you can probably get away for round $1200-$1300. Good luck
