$6,000

How the math works

600 sqft concrete at $10/sqft = $6,000 + $800 demo + $500 drainage = $7,300.

Don't cheap out on prep. 4" base + proper compaction = 30+ year driveway. 2" base and rushed compaction = cracking within 5 years.

How to Use

  1. Enter sqft and material.
  2. Add prep, drainage, and decorative adjustments.
  3. See total.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which material lasts longest?

Concrete 30-40 years. Asphalt 15-20 (with resealing every 3-5 years). Pavers 25-50+ but individual stones can shift. Gravel: indefinite if maintained but refreshes needed every 2-3 years.

Is concrete worth the premium?

In hot climates, asphalt softens and ruts — concrete wins. In cold climates with freeze/thaw, concrete can crack — asphalt flexes better. Match to climate.

Drainage matters?

Hugely. Poor drainage = premature failure. Budget 10-20% extra for grading, drain tile, or French drain if yard slopes toward driveway. Skipping this costs 3-5 years of life.
