๐Ÿ’ก How to Calculate Concrete for a Patio

Patio concrete volume = length ร— width ร— thickness. Standard patio thickness is 4 inches. The base should be 4 inches of compacted gravel. Include control joints every 8โ€“10 feet to prevent random cracking.

Finish options significantly affect cost: broom finish ($8/sq ft installed), exposed aggregate ($10/sq ft), colored/stained ($12/sq ft), and stamped concrete ($15+/sq ft). Stamped patios can mimic stone, brick, or slate.

A 16ร—12 ft patio at 4 inches thick: 64 cu ft = 2.37 cu yd. Order 2.6 cu yd (+10%). Stamped finish: $192 ร— $15 = $2,880.
