Adding a waste factor accounts for spillage, settling, and other factors that might require additional concrete.

Tips for Concrete Slabs

  • Standard residential concrete slabs are typically 4 inches thick
  • For driveways and patios that will handle heavier loads, consider 5-6 inches thickness
  • For proper drainage, slabs should have a minimum slope of 1/8 inch per foot
  • Always order 5-10% more concrete than calculated to account for spillage and variations in subgrade
  • Concrete is typically ordered in cubic yards (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet)
