Concrete slabs, walks and driveways. Typical costs for reinforced concrete slabs-on-grade including
fine grading, slab base, forms, vapor barrier, wire mesh, 3,000 PSI concrete, finishing and curing. For
thickened edge slabs, add the area of the thickened edge. Use 500 square feet as the minimum job
size.
