Concrete Cost Per Square Foot in Clarksville
Cost per square foot is the fastest way to ballpark a project. These are installed prices (material plus labor) for Clarksville, TN in 2026. Plain flatwork sits at the low end; decorative and stamped finishes cost more because they add pattern, color, and sealing steps.
Reinforcement, a thicker pour, and heavy site prep push you toward the high end. A simple, easy-access flat pour lands near the low end.
| Concrete Type | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plain driveway (unreinforced) | $6 | $8 | $10 | Standard 4" broom finish |
| Reinforced slab / patio | $6 | $9 | $11 | Wire mesh or rebar added |
| Stamped concrete | $9 | $12 | $16 | Pattern + color + sealing |
| Decorative / stained | $8 | $12 | $18 | Multiple color layers |
| Epoxy garage floor | $5 | $6 | $7 | Coating over sound slab |
Concrete Cost Per Yard in Clarksville, TN
When a project is measured in volume instead of surface area, price is quoted per cubic yard. In Clarksville, ready-mix concrete runs about $127 to $153 per cubic yard by PSI (strength) in 2026. Delivery-only material typically falls between $120 and $250 per yard once you add fuel and environmental fees.
Higher PSI (stronger mix) costs more per yard — a 4,000 PSI mix runs more than a 3,000 PSI mix.
Short-load fee: ordering less than a full truck (usually under 8–10 yards) adds a per-yard surcharge.
One cubic yard covers about 81 square feet at 4 inches thick, or 65 square feet at 5 inches.
Buying by the yard is material only. You still need a crew to place, finish, and cure it. See our ready-mix concrete page for supply details.
Concrete Slab Cost by Size in Clarksville
These are the slab sizes Clarksville homeowners ask about most — garages, shops, sheds, and additions. Figures assume a standard 4-inch slab with basic base prep. Thicker pours, rebar, and clay-soil prep raise the range. Each row is a direct answer to a common "how much to pour a ___ slab" question.
Ranges use $6–$10 per square foot for a standard slab. Your final number depends on thickness, reinforcement, and site access — call (931) 271-9471 for an exact figure.
| Slab Size | Square Feet | Concrete Needed (4") | Estimated Installed Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20×20 | 400 sq ft | ~5 yards | $2,400 – $4,000 |
| 24×24 | 576 sq ft | ~7.5 yards | $3,500 – $5,800 |
| 30×30 | 900 sq ft | ~11.5 yards | $5,400 – $9,000 |
| 30×50 | 1,500 sq ft | ~19 yards | $9,000 – $15,000 |
| 40×40 | 1,600 sq ft | ~20 yards | $9,600 – $16,000 |
| 40×60 | 2,400 sq ft | ~30 yards | $14,400 – $24,000 |
What Affects Your Concrete Price in Clarksville?
Two identical-looking driveways can be priced very differently. Here is what actually moves the number on a Clarksville concrete quote:
Thickness — a 4-inch residential slab costs less than a 5–6 inch pour rated for trucks or RVs.
Reinforcement — wire mesh or rebar adds material and labor, but it is what keeps a slab from cracking apart.
Sub-base prep — on Montgomery County’s expansive clay soil, a compacted gravel base is not optional. It is the difference between a slab that lasts and one that heaves.
Demolition & haul-off — tearing out and hauling away an old, failed slab adds cost before a single yard is poured.
Finish type — plain broom finish is cheapest; stamped, stained, and polished finishes add pattern, color, and sealing labor.
Site access — a backyard a truck can’t reach means wheelbarrowing or pumping the concrete, which adds labor.
Slope & drainage — Clarksville’s heavy rain means we grade every pour to drain away from your foundation, which can add prep on a sloped lot.

Is Concrete Cheaper Than Asphalt or Pavers?
For a Clarksville driveway or patio, concrete usually costs more up front than asphalt but far less than pavers — and it lasts longer than both with less upkeep. Here is the honest tradeoff:
| Material | Upfront Cost | Lifespan & Upkeep |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt | Lowest upfront ($3–$7 / sq ft) | Needs resealing every few years; softens in summer heat |
| Concrete | Mid ($6–$11 / sq ft) | 25–40+ years; low upkeep; never salt it in winter |
| Pavers | Highest ($12–$25+ / sq ft) | Long-lasting but weeds/settling need maintenance |
Over the life of the surface, concrete is usually the best value in our climate — as long as it is poured with a freeze-thaw-rated mix on a proper base.
Concrete Cost in Clarksville, TN — Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a yard of concrete in Clarksville, TN?
A cubic yard of ready-mix concrete in Clarksville runs about $127 to $153 for the material in 2026, depending on the PSI (strength) you order. Delivery-only pricing can reach $120 to $250 per yard once fuel and small-load fees are added. One yard covers roughly 81 square feet at 4 inches thick.
How much does it cost to pour a 24×24 concrete slab in Clarksville?
A 24×24 concrete slab is 576 square feet and needs about 7.5 cubic yards at 4 inches thick. In Clarksville, expect roughly $3,500 to $5,800 installed for a standard slab. Adding thickness, rebar, or heavy base prep for clay soil moves it toward the high end.
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Clarksville, TN?
A concrete driveway in Clarksville typically costs $6 to $10 per square foot installed. A standard two-car driveway runs about $3,000 to $6,000. Price depends on size, thickness (4-inch residential vs. 5–6 inch for heavy vehicles), and whether an old driveway must be torn out first.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace concrete?
Repair is almost always cheaper when the slab base is still sound — resurfacing or crack repair can cost a fraction of a full replacement. Replacement only makes sense when the base has failed or the slab is badly heaved. We tell you honestly which one your concrete actually needs.
How much does labor cost to pour concrete in Clarksville?
Labor is usually 40% to 60% of a concrete project’s total cost. On a $6–$11 per square foot installed price, the pouring, finishing, and base-prep labor is the larger share; the concrete material itself is the smaller part. A single written quote bundles both so there are no surprises.
What is the minimum concrete order in Clarksville?
Most ready-mix suppliers will deliver a partial load, but ordering under a full truck (roughly 8 to 10 yards) triggers a short-load fee per yard. For small pours, that fee can make bagged concrete or a combined job more economical. We help you size the order so you are not overpaying.
Why does concrete cost more on some Clarksville lots than others?
Site conditions drive the difference. Expansive clay soil in Montgomery County needs a compacted gravel base, sloped lots need grading for drainage, and hard-to-reach backyards need pumping or wheelbarrowing. Two same-size slabs can price differently purely because of the ground they sit on.
