How much does concrete cost in Wyoming?

Ready-mix in Wyoming runs roughly $150 to $190 per cubic yard. That is an estimated band, not a quote — published US price sources disagree with each other by nearly two to one. How we source price figures.

What does the Wyoming climate require?

High altitude and relentless wind produce severe freeze-thaw and evaporation rates that cause plastic shrinkage cracking even on cool days, so windbreaks and evaporation retarders matter as much as blankets.

Under ACI 318, Wyoming falls in exposure classes F3, C2, S2. Air entrainment is required for exterior flatwork. Air entrainment is required for classes F1, F2 and F3.

How deep is the frost line in Wyoming?

Compiled reference tables put Wyoming at about 56 inches. That figure is orientation only. The footing depth you actually have to build to is determined by your local building department — IRC R403.1.4 requires footings to extend below the locally determined frost line, and there is no national number.

Soil concerns

Shale-derived bentonite soils swell heavily and carry high water-soluble sulfate, making Type V cement and sulfate-resisting mixes common for footings and slabs.

Seismic

Moderate in the northwest near the Yellowstone and Teton fault systems, and low across the rest of the state.
