Title: What are you paying for cement slab?
Post by: Coleman on May 06, 2015, 04:15:36 am
I got a quote back from my cement guy for a 10' x 10' x 4" thick reinforced for $600. I don't have a good way into my backyard  He said  he would wheelbarrow it in from the street What a champ he is for doing that.
So what is your price for a cement slab?
Thanks Coleman

That sounds like a fair price to me.  You are looking at 33 cubic ft. of concrete, which equates to a little more than a yard.  Here in So. WI, a yard goes for around $100.  If you just ordered one yard from the concrete company, you would get hit with a small load charge, and that could be a minimum of $300.  If I were you, I would make it bigger so you can step out of the tub onto concrete, unless this is going in an existing patio area or something similar.  Having to wheel barrow it in place is very labor intensive, and therefore the high price. 

On a side note, I was very active on this site last year at this time.  I haven't been on much at all, and it sure seems to be dead around here.  Maybe Trouble Free Pool is the place to be!

A 10' x 10' x 4" using a wheelbarrow would be around $750-$1,000 in this area depending on the logistics of it

Sounds like a reasonable price if it's done correctly.  I had a 10x10 paver deck put in for mine it was $750...

  Just paid $400 for a 8' x 8' slab here in Michigan and he was already here extending the driveway, so no extra delivery charge. $600 is a good deal.
