How thick should concrete be for driveways?

4 inches is standard for passenger vehicles, 5-6 for heavy trucks. Commercial applications may require 6-12 inches.

How do I convert to cubic yards?

One cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3ft × 3ft × 3ft). Our calculator automatically converts to the most appropriate unit.
