Common questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost?
A standard poured concrete driveway runs roughly $8-$15 per square foot installed, with a national average near $10.50/sq ft - about $6,300 for a typical 600 sq ft (two-car) drive. Decorative finishes and a thicker 6-inch slab cost more. Use the calculator above for a range matched to your driveway.
How thick should a concrete driveway be?
Four inches is standard for ordinary cars; step up to six inches where heavier vehicles, an RV, or a delivery truck will park, since the extra concrete resists cracking under load. Choose the slab thickness above to scale the poured-concrete portion of the estimate.
What adds the most to a concrete driveway's cost?
Site excavation and grading, demolishing and hauling an old surface, rebar reinforcement, and a decorative finish are the biggest swing factors. Toggle reinforcement, excavation, and old-surface removal, and pick a finish, to see each line in the breakdown.
