Concrete Driveway Calculator — Yards & Bags for the Pour

The one-and-done driveway pour: dimensions and thickness in — cubic yards, bag counts and the ready-mix call, out.

Concrete Driveway Calculator

Sizing the pour

A two-car driveway is typically 10 × 20 feet; at the standard 4-inch thickness that's about <strong>2.5 cubic yards — roughly 55 bags</strong>, which is exactly the point where bagged concrete stops making sense and a ready-mix truck becomes the right answer. Enter your real dimensions and the calculator draws the line for you.

What a driveway pour needs beyond volume

Driveways carry vehicles, so plan 4 inches minimum over compacted gravel, #4 rebar on 2-foot centers or 6×6 mesh, and control joints every 8–10 feet. Order 10% extra concrete for subgrade soft spots — and schedule the truck for a morning pour so you have full daylight to finish.

FAQ

How many yards of concrete for a 2-car driveway?

About 2.5 cubic yards for 10 × 20 ft at 4 inches — order 2.75–3 yards to cover waste and uneven subgrade.

Should a driveway be 4 or 6 inches thick?

4 inches handles cars; 5–6 inches with rebar is the upgrade for trucks, RVs or poor soil — the concrete costs roughly 25% more.
