- Jeff with @barnandhome is going to walk through a 60 SF concrete pour with bags of quick-Crete. This was a quick and easy project at my house and I am a very easy going “customer”. Meaning, I don’t require perfection on my own stuff. If this was for a paying client, I would sub out the work to professional concrete guys. Because it is my own front step to a side porch, it did not have to be super nice, just quick and easy.
If you need a concrete pad for something in your yard, here are the basic steps:
Figure out how you plan to mix the concrete - you can rent one of these machines
Measure out the area and go to concrete calculator .net online and determine how many bags you’ll need
Remove all the grass down several inches
Use lumber to build a form for the shape you want - make sure it is level - or slightly sloped for water run off
Lay a couple inches of gravel level at the bottom
Dump the wet concrete in the space filling it up to the top of the form
Screed off the top with a 2x4 sliding it back and forth
Keep the top either smooth or use a broom for a “brush” finish look
Edge the side if you want
Let it sit for a couple days
Remove the forms from around the edge
Place item on concrete or begin walking on it
You got this!
