Evelyn P. says, "We had several bids on our project, but Cruz Landscaping & Design stood out. The price was fair and the work he was proposing was quality rather than the bare minimum to get the project done. We were very happy with the result. Time and care was taken to get the job done right (and it was fun to watch, too - it was a concrete pour). The result was excellent and we've asked them to come back to do more work. Seeing what was going on, a neighbor came by to ask for a concrete pour on her property that she'd been meaning to do. Once she saw our completed work, she immediately contacted Cruz Landscaping. Great experience, quality work and fair prices. We recommend them!" Read more

Your Concrete Driveway Contractors questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does a concrete driveway cost?

The average cost of a concrete driveway can range from $4 to $8 per square foot, depending on various factors. This means that for a standard 2-car driveway sized from 400 to 576 square feet, the total cost can be anywhere from $1,600 to $4,600.

The exact price of a concrete driveway can vary based on the size of the project, the complexity of the design, the quality of the concrete used, and the labor costs in your local area. Additional factors that can impact the overall cost include site preparation, excavation, reinforcement materials, and any necessary permits or inspections. It's always a good idea to get multiple quotes from reputable contractors to ensure you get the best value for your money.

How much does a concrete driveway cost per yard?

A basic concrete driveway typically costs $35 to $100 per cubic yard on average, while high-end concrete driveways with decorative elements, designs, borders, or stains can cost $160 to $225 per cubic yarddue to the labor involved.

How long does it take to pour a concrete driveway?

Pouring a concrete driveway typically takes 1 to 3 days on average, depending on the size and complexity of the project. The actual pouring process itself usually takes 1 to 2 days, with the first day spent preparing the site and pouring the concrete, and the second day used for finishing touches and allowing the concrete to cure. However, the total project timeline is often longer, as excavation of the old driveway or preparing the site can add an additional 1 to 2 days to the schedule.

The total time to pour a concrete driveway can vary based on several factors. Larger driveways or those with intricate shapes and designs will naturally take longer to pour and finish than a simple rectangular driveway. Site conditions like the slope of the land or accessibility for concrete trucks can also impact the timeline. Weather is another important consideration, as rain or extreme temperatures can delay pouring and curing. Homeowners should plan for a 3 to 5 day project from start to finish, with the actual pouring taking place over 1 to 2 of those days.

How long before I can drive on a new concrete driveway?

After the concrete is poured, it typically takes 24 to 48 hours for the surface to cure enough to be walked on. However, the concrete will still be quite soft and vulnerable during this initial curing period. It's important to keep the area clear of foot traffic as much as possible to prevent damage.

Once the initial 24 to 48 hour curing period has passed, the concrete will continue to strengthen over the next 7 to 10 days. During this time, the driveway can support the weight of passenger vehicles, but it's best to avoid parking or driving on it as much as possible. For heavier vehicles like large pickup trucks, RVs, or commercial trucks, it's recommended to wait a full 30 days before using the driveway to ensure the concrete has fully cured and hardened. Rushing use of the driveway before the proper curing time can lead to cracking, pitting, or other damage.

What questions should I ask a concrete driveway installer?

Asking these questions will help ensure you find the right professional to install a concrete driveway that will last for many years:

  • What strength concrete will be used for my driveway?
  • What type of reinforcement will you be installing with my driveway?
  • What base and how much will you be laying under my driveway?
  • How often do you install control joints?
  • What will you be sealing my driveway with and when?
  • How much experience do you have?
  • Are you insured and licensed?

How do I choose a concrete driveway installer?

Here are some steps to follow to choose a concrete driveway installer:

  • Shop around and get quotes from multiple concrete contractors. Compare their experience, services, and pricing.
  • Ask for references and check the contractors' business profiles to verify their reputation and quality of past work.
  • Ensure the contractor is properly licensed, insured, and has 5 to 10 years of experience installing concrete driveways.
  • Get a detailed written contract that specifies the project timeline, materials, costs, and any warranties.
  • Consider factors beyond just the lowest price, such as the contractor's expertise, communication, and ability to meet your timeline.
  • Factor in the concrete curing and drying time when planning your project timeline, and be flexible on scheduling if needed.

Tony K.
I had 3 other quotes which I though were outrageous and I came across Sanders Concrete as my last quote before making a decision. Manuel is very professional and his prices are VERY competitive. He's on time, communicative and really listened to little changes or concerns I had. He did a large driveway/parking area and it looks great. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.
