Subject: Re: Cost to pour cement pad for basketball court


Morris, IL
I'd probably go 4" min, more if driving on it beside lawn mowers and maybe cars. I think cement truck around here can carry 8 yards, 8x27=216 cubic feet of concrete. 216/.3333=648 square feet at 4" so 648 square feet is a 25'x25' pad. We paid $86 a yard but that was for 75+ yards. I'd figure $90 at least for one truck load. So $720 min. double that for finishing and light prep work. Triple it if they are digging it out, forming all forms, and other stuff. Or form and finish it yourself with some buddies, it's not rocket science just back breaking.

Also i would make it square, the opposite corners of basket hoop never get used so make it a half circle what ever size you decide to go with.

Edited to add, one truck load isn't going to cut it, http://www.sportsknowhow.com/basketball/dimensions/high-school-bask...

Say a 50' half circle is 12 yards.
