If they don't, then 4 thick is usually standard for a patio slab, how large or small it is doesn't really matter. The most important part is the sub-base. Make sure you have a good gravel base. I would recommend at least 12 inches of compacted gravel. I like gravel where the aggregate (rocks) are no larger than 1.
Concrete Countertop Thicknesses. Concrete countertops are so appealing partly because of the variety of looks they can provide. A 6â thick and heavy-looking drop edge front can be achieved but does not require the entire countertop to become 6â thick. The standard slab thickness is 1.5â â 2â.This is the most common thickness which gives countertop edges a very mainstream look.Larger thicknesses are possible, as mentioned. If a 6 slab is desired, the back and center of the countertop are still 1.5 thick and the front grows to the desired thickness.So it still looks 6 thick but is only 6 thick in the front. 6â thick and heavy-looking drop edge front can be achieved but does not require the entire countertop to become 6â thick. The standard slab thickness is 1.5â â 2â. This is the most common thickness which gives countertop edges a very mainstream look.
