If you are pouring a driveway, consider 6 inches thick. At that thickness, you will need about 826 bags of 80 lb mix.

This slab needs about 11.11 cubic yards, and you order ready mix concrete in cubic yards.

A slab this size commonly serves a single or double driveway, plus parking pads. Because the pour is about 16.67 cubic yards, ordering ready mix by the cubic yard is the practical choice, and a 6 inch pour, the thickness vehicles need, takes 826 bags of 80 lb mix.

how thick should a concrete driveway be

A concrete driveway needs a 6 inch thick slab to carry vehicles. That thickness takes 826 bags of 80 lb mix, which is about 16.67 cubic yards of concrete. Ordering ready mix by the yard is the usual route at this size.

ready mix or bags for a driveway

At driveway volume, ready mix replaces bags. About 45 bags of 80 lb mix make a cubic yard of concrete, so the 826 bag estimate for this slab means far more batches than a hand pour can handle. About 16.67 cubic yards from a ready mix plant is the practical order.
