Concrete Cost Calculator Texas

In Texas, the price of concrete per cubic yard typically ranges from $110 to $150. The exact cost depends on factors such as:

• Type of concrete mix
• Delivery distance
• Order size
• Current market conditions

Our calculator uses an average of $125 per cubic yard for estimates.

For irregular shapes, divide the area into smaller regular shapes (rectangles, circles, etc.), calculate each separately, then sum the totals. Add 5-10% extra for waste and variations.

For complex projects, we recommend contacting us for a professional estimate to ensure accuracy.

For a 20x20 slab at 4 inches thick:

1. 20 ft × 20 ft = 400 sq ft
2. 400 sq ft × 0.333 ft (4 inches) = 133.2 cubic ft
3. 133.2 ÷ 27 = 4.93 cubic yards

We recommend ordering 5.5 cubic yards (about 10% extra) to account for spillage and variations.

Several factors influence concrete costs:

• Mix design: Specialty mixes cost more
• Delivery distance: Longer distances increase costs
• Order size: Smaller orders may have premium pricing
• Additives: Fibers, accelerators, etc. increase price
• Time of year: Seasonal demand affects pricing

Setting time depends on weather conditions:

• Summer (hot): 2-4 hours initial set
• Winter (cool): 4-6 hours initial set
• Walkable: 24-48 hours
• Vehicle traffic: 7 days
• Full cure: 28 days

Pouring concrete in light rain is possible with precautions, but heavy rain can damage the surface and weaken the concrete. We recommend:

• Rescheduling if heavy rain is forecasted
• Using tarps to protect the pour area
• Adjusting the water-cement ratio
• Providing proper drainage around the site
