Concrete Coverage Per Yard
how much does a yard of concrete cover
A cubic yard of concrete covers approximately 81 square feet at a 4-inch depth. Coverage varies based on thickness and project requirements.
Coverage Based on Thickness
At 4 inches thick, one yard covers 81 sq ft. For a 6-inch thickness, coverage reduces to 54 sq ft. Thinner slabs allow more area coverage.
- 4-inch thickness: 81 sq ft
- 6-inch thickness: 54 sq ft
- 3-inch thickness: 108 sq ft
Calculating Concrete Needs
Measure the area length and width in feet. Multiply by depth in inches divided by 12. Use online calculators for accuracy and order slightly extra for waste.
Proper calculation ensures you have enough concrete without overspending. Always consult with suppliers for specific project advice.
