Concrete patio calculator FAQs
How thick should a concrete patio be?
Many residential patios are 4 inches thick. Thicker slabs may be needed for hot tubs, outdoor kitchens, heavy furniture, poor soil, or local requirements.
How do I calculate concrete for a patio?
Multiply length by width by slab thickness in feet to get cubic feet. Divide by 27 to convert cubic feet to cubic yards, then add waste.
Should a patio have gravel base?
A compacted gravel base usually improves drainage and support. Base depth depends on soil, drainage, climate, and the patio design.
Does this calculator include stamped concrete?
The calculator includes a finish cost input, so you can enter a higher finish cost per square foot for stamped, stained, broom-finished, or decorative concrete.
