How Much Does Concrete Weigh?

Concrete weighs 150 pounds per cubic foot. A cubic yard would weigh 4050 pounds or two tons. Therefore, be aware that hauling a concrete truck up to a pour site may cause damage to lawn or landscaping that the concrete truck must drive over.

Since landscaping and lawn can be damaged from a concrete truck, you can haul the concrete with a powerbuggy, pump it to the site with a concrete pump, or use the old-fashioned wheelbarrow to transfer concrete to your site. If you do this, remember to keep loads small enough to handle.

1 yard of concrete = 12 full wheelbarrows. The average patio requires 2-3 yards of concrete. This will be about 40+ wheelbarrows full.
