What drives the price

  • Size. The biggest factor. Wider and longer drives use more concrete.
  • Tear-out. Removing an old driveway adds demolition and hauling.
  • Thickness and reinforcement. Heavier vehicles need thicker concrete and rebar.
  • Finish. Stamped, colored and exposed aggregate finishes cost more than broom finish.
