Supply MathWhat 10 yards of concrete covers
| Thickness | Area from 10 yd³ |
|---|---|
| 4 in | 810 sq ft |
| 5 in | 648 sq ft |
| 6 in | 540 sq ft |
Work out your exact yardage with the concrete calculator, then round up to the supplier’s order increment (often a quarter or half yard).
Frequently asked questions
How many yards does a full concrete truck hold?
A standard ready-mix truck carries up to about 10 cubic yards; many deliveries are 8–10 yards. Smaller trucks and “short loads” are available for small jobs, often with a fee.
What is a short load fee?
Many suppliers charge extra when you order less than a minimum (often a few yards), because the truck makes the trip anyway. Ask about it when comparing quotes.
