How Much Is Concrete per Square Foot?
Concrete per square foot is an installed price that bundles the material, base preparation and basic finishing into one figure, which is why contractors often quote flatwork this way. Your total is the area times that price. A decorative or stamped finish raises the per-square-foot price above a plain broom finish. The calculator multiplies your area by the price you enter, so use a local installed rate for an accurate estimate.
Per Square Foot or per Yard for Concrete?
Per square foot and per yard are two ways to price concrete. Per yard prices the raw material by volume (good for ordering ready-mix), while per square foot prices the finished, installed surface (good for budgeting a project). For a quick project budget, per square foot is simpler; for ordering material, per yard is exact. The calculator supports both, so pick the one that matches your quote.
