The cost of concrete per cubic yard in 2025 generally ranges between $110 and $180 depending on region, supplier, and project specifics. The nationwide average price is around $125 to $166 per cubic yard for the material alone, excluding delivery and labor fees
. Key details include:
- Typical price range: $110 to $165 per cubic yard on average
- Some sources cite $120 to $150 per cubic yard including delivery within about 20 miles

- Labor and finishing costs add approximately $6 to $9.50 per square foot on top of material costs
- Prices vary by concrete strength (PSI), location, and additives used
For example, a 24x24 foot slab 4 inches thick (about 7-8 cubic yards) could cost roughly $1,250 to $1,600 for the concrete material alone, based on $158 to $200 per yard estimates including additives and taxes
