How to calculate concrete walkway

A concrete walkway slab. Enter length, width and thickness to get cubic yards.

Formula: volume = length × width × (thickness ÷ 12) ÷ 27 = 1.23 cubic yards. With 10% waste: 1.36 cubic yards.

Worked example

Example: 10 ft × 10 ft at 4 inches thick = 1.23 cubic yards. With 10% waste: 1.36 cubic yards, about $204 at $150 per cubic yard.

Tips

Measure the full area, then subtract large openings if you want an exact count. Order a little extra for cuts and breakage, and confirm quantities with your supplier before you buy.
