Order a little extra

Concrete and masonry jobs almost always need more material than the exact volume. Add 5–10% for spillage, uneven ground and breakage — running short halfway through a pour is far more expensive than a few spare bags.

Bags or ready-mix?

Premix bags are practical up to about one cubic yard. Beyond that, a ready-mix truck is usually cheaper, faster and gives a more consistent slab.
