How Much Concrete for a 10x100 Driveway?
How much concrete for a 10x100 driveway depends on thickness. The driveway covers 10 × 100 = 1,000 square feet, and at 5 inches thick that is about 15.43 cubic yards, or 16.98 yards with a 10 percent allowance. Mixed from bags, it is roughly 695 bags of 80 lb mix.
Concrete calculator →The math for a 10x100 driveway
- Area: 10 ft × 100 ft = 1,000 sq ft.
- Thickness in feet: 5 in ÷ 12 = 0.417 ft.
- Volume: 1,000 × 0.417 = 416.7 cubic feet.
- Cubic yards: 416.7 ÷ 27 = 15.43 yd³.
- With 10% extra: 16.98 yd³.
The concrete calculator runs the same steps for any size and thickness.

How thick to pour it
Residential concrete driveways are usually 4 to 6 inches thick. Five inches is a sensible minimum if a pickup or delivery truck uses it, and 6 inches if heavier vehicles or an RV park on it. The apron at the street often gets the thicker section.

Truck or bags?
Ready-mix is priced and batched by the cubic yard (27 cubic feet). Plants commonly add a small-load fee when an order is under a set minimum, so ask about it when you call. Ordering a little extra costs far less than a second truck.
Prep before the pour
Uneven ground is the main reason pours run short. Every half inch of extra depth across the driveway adds concrete you did not plan for. Screed the base flat, check it with a string line and set the forms to finished height before the truck arrives.
Joints, mesh and rebar
Reinforcement does not stop cracks, but it holds them tight. Wire mesh or rebar set mid-depth on chairs is common for a driveway that carries vehicles; fiber-reinforced mix is an option for light-duty slabs. Joints about 10 feet apart control where cracks form.
