Concrete Driveway Cost Estimator
Pick your size, finish, and demo — get a price band.
California · Updated 2026 · Ranges from our cost guides — your quote will vary by contractor and scope
How this calculator works: it combines the cost bands published in our Orange County cost guides and 2026 industry pricing data with a few choices about your project. The output is a range — low, typical, high — with the assumptions listed. It is a planning tool, not a contractor bid.
Your project
A 2-car driveway is typically ~400–700 sq ft.
Bands grounded 2026-10-15 (2026 cost guides): $6–$15/sq ft installed.
What drives the cost
- Size — concrete driveways price $6–$15/sq ft installed; a 2-car driveway (~400–700 sq ft) typically totals $5,100–$7,700.
- Finish — plain broom finish $6–$10/sq ft; stamped/decorative $10–$15/sq ft — pattern complexity and coloring move stamped pricing.
- Demo — tear-out and haul-away of an old driveway adds $2–$3/sq ft; new pours skip it entirely.
- What's in the quote — concrete PSI and thickness (4 in vs. 6 in), rebar vs. wire mesh, finish detail, and whether permits and inspections are included.
Estimate, not a quote
These numbers are estimates only — not a quote, not a bid. Bands are computed from the cost ranges published in our Orange County cost guides (2026) and industry pricing data, which are themselves compiled from contractor-published pricing. Your actual price depends on scope, access, timing, and the contractor. Always get 2–3 written quotes and compare the scope line by line, not just the total. We don't sell services and we have no contractor relationships.
