Default how much would be looking at for a concrete pad?

it's really hard to work under a car in a gravel/seashell driveway. I was thinking about getting a singe-car concrete pad laid down.

what's the current going rate?

Last time I checked it was about $1.50 - 1.75 a sqft.

10x20 slab should cost about $300.00 if you do all the work and pour yourself.

If you get somebody to do it, it will cost about 2-1/2 that much. Say $750.00

all depends on location. To prep, frame, and finish runs about 1.25 a sq ft here, or .60 cents just to finish. Concrete with fiber runs about 110 a yard after taxes here.

If you can level the ground, and frame it up yourself, just have someone finish it.

Lots of that depends on location, IF they can safely back a loaded concrete mixer truck into the location site without battering/breaking foundations, you are fine, but it's a chance on bare dirt next to a basement....

just in front off the streets are fine.....but up in back yards is the issue...

concrete was about 100 bux/yard here last I heard....

plus a pumper for 300 bux to get it into the back yard if necessary.....

you can pump/screed/frame your own slab fairly easy...trick is to get a bullfloat on it quickly or it will be rough....

you WILL need help if you not done it before...it's lots of work, you WILL be at it for a while, long day....especially without any experience....
