How to measure a driveway
- Type the property address and switch to the satellite view
- Click around the edge of the concrete, from the garage door to the street, apron included
- Add a side parking pad or a walk as a separate area if it is part of the job
- Skip lawn, beds and anything hidden under trees or a carport roof
Typical driveway sizes and prices
At the calculator's sample rates ($2,400 for the first 200 square feet, then $9 a foot, 4 inches with wire mesh):
- One-car driveway, 12 by 24 (288 square feet): about $3,192
- Two-car driveway, 20 by 24 (480 square feet): about $4,920
- Two-car driveway, 24 by 30 (720 square feet): about $7,080
- Long or three-car driveway, 1,000 square feet: about $9,600
Most two-car driveways come out between $9 and $11 a square foot. Tearing out and hauling off the old driveway adds $1,500, rebar instead of mesh adds $600, a 6-inch pour for an RV or work truck adds $900, sealer adds $350 and integral color adds $500. Read what a concrete driveway costs for what moves the price, from soil to access for the truck.
Why the price is a range
The map cannot see slope, soft soil, tree roots or how far the truck has to reach. A contractor checks those on the estimate visit, which is why the calculator shows a range and the final price comes after the visit.
For concrete contractors
Driveways are the job homeowners research longest. Put this calculator on your own site and they see your number first, then book the estimate with you instead of collecting three free quotes.
