Frequently Asked Questions
How much does concrete cost in 2026?
Ready-mix concrete costs $125 to $165 per cubic yard in most US markets. Prices vary by region, PSI rating, and delivery distance. Urban areas tend to be 10–20% more expensive than rural areas.
What factors affect concrete cost?
Key factors include: concrete mix type (higher PSI costs more), delivery distance, order quantity (short-load fees for small orders), site accessibility, additives (fiber, color, accelerators), and regional labor rates.
Is it cheaper to mix concrete yourself?
For small projects (under 0.5 cubic yards), bagged concrete can be cheaper at $3–5 per 80 lb bag. For larger projects, ready-mix delivery is more cost-effective and provides consistent quality. The break-even is typically around 1–2 cubic yards.
How much does concrete delivery cost?
Most ready-mix companies include delivery in the per-yard price for orders of 10+ cubic yards within their service area. Short-load fees of $15–50 per yard may apply for smaller orders. Saturday and holiday deliveries often have surcharges.
How can I reduce concrete costs?
Order the right amount to avoid waste. Schedule pours during off-peak times. Compare quotes from multiple suppliers. For small projects, consider mixing your own bags. Ensure proper site preparation to avoid costly re-pours.
