How do I calculate cubic yards of concrete?

Multiply length (ft) × width (ft) × thickness (ft) to get cubic feet, then divide by 27. A 20 ft × 12 ft slab at 4 inches thick is about 2.96 cubic yards before overage.

How much extra concrete should I order?

Many crews add 5–10% to cover sub-grade variation, form deflection, and spillage. Talk to dispatch about your specific site.

Is there a minimum for colored concrete?

Order colored concrete in 3-yard increments or more. Full color consistency is not guaranteed on smaller quantities.
