Pricing
Customers should understand the variables of pricing for their concrete projects. These can include:
-How many total yards of concrete
-What type of finish
-How accessible is the area
-How many labor hours
Excavation requires small machinery and a dump fee to haul materials away.
Concrete suppliers also have a minimum load of ready mix concrete they will deliver, typically 3 yards. They will deliver less than that but at a higher price.
Driveways
Driveways typically require: excavation, soil compaction, 5/8" crushed rock compaction, reinforced with rebar, and a selection of finishes. Prices will vary depending on any customized shapes, concrete color, accessibility, and finishes. Here are the price ranges for different sizes:
Small- $8,000-$12,000
Med- $11,000-$15,000
Large- $16,000+
Foundations
Foundations are in a separate category due to the requirement of blueprints, permits, excavation with heavy equipment and specialized hardware.
Patios, Sidewalks and Stairs
These projects are usually very unique and have factors like: excavation, curved edges and type of finish. Excavation and compacted 5/8" crushed rock as a foundation is typical for concrete and pavers.
