How it's calculated
No black boxes — here is the exact math behind your estimate, so you can check it or adapt it for your own quote.
- 1
Volume (ft³) = length × width × (thickness ÷ 12) - 2
Cubic yards = volume (ft³) ÷ 27 - 3
Bags (80 lb) = ⌈ volume (ft³) ÷ 0.6 ⌉ - 4
Cost = cubic yards × price per yard
Worked example
A 10 ft × 10 ft patio slab poured 4 inches thick.
