Looking to extend my Driveway another 3 ft wide by like 15 ft. Was thinking I could do it myself, but anybody know what the going rates are for something like this, so I don't have to kill myself.
Thanks

that is about a half yd of concrete, not much to pour but expensive to order that small amount.
5,000 psi sacrete with some extra portland added will work great but also a pain to mix that much (each bag is only about 1/2cf)
about 30 bags of sacrete, 2 bags of portland (split this evenly as you mix to strengthen the sacrete), rent a masons trough if you can to mix in and you could do it easy enough. still gonna be hard work though.

On just the square footage that would normaly run you about $250 for 45 sq ft. Since it is such a small amount you will pay a contractor a premium. I would guess $500 +.
If you are up to it your self do it like Hop suggested. Magerial will probably run you about $150+.

see if you have a cement or rental yard nearby that has a portamix trailer setup. they mix it dump it in the trailer you drive it home and do the work, I use to do small projects with friends all the time that way. the buggys would usually hold up to 1 yard. You have a little over 1/2 yard as was mentioned.

do you guys think that doweling into the existing driveway is needed on something like this?
