The Short Answer
Every driveway is different — size, shape, soil, tear-out, thickness, and finish all move the number, which is why we don't publish one-size-fits-all prices. What we can promise: an honest, on-site assessment with straightforward pricing and no surprises.

What Actually Drives the Price
1. Size and Shape
Bigger driveways cost more in total but usually less per square foot, because mobilization, forming, and finishing crews are already on site. Curves, flares, and odd shapes take more forming time than a simple rectangle.
2. Tear-Out and Removal
If an old cracked driveway has to come out first, demolition, hauling, and disposal add to the project. Replacing a driveway almost always costs more than pouring on a fresh-graded lot — but it's still the right long-term fix for concrete that's beyond repair.
3. Site Prep and Grading
Southern Utah soil varies street to street — some lots sit on stable sandy soil, others on expansive clay or rock. Proper subgrade compaction and a gravel base are what keep a driveway from cracking early, and difficult prep adds cost. Good prep is the cheapest insurance you can buy on a concrete project.
4. Thickness and Reinforcement
A standard passenger-vehicle driveway is 4 inches thick. If you park a heavy truck, trailer, or RV on it, 5–6 inches with added reinforcement is the smarter spec — more material, slightly higher price, far longer life. (For dedicated RV parking, see our RV pad service page.)
5. Finish
- Standard broom finish: the baseline — durable, slip-resistant, most affordable.
- Exposed aggregate: decorative stone texture, moderate upcharge.
- Stamped or colored concrete: the look of stone or pavers at a premium over plain gray — details on our stamped concrete page.
Planning Your Driveway Project
Whether it's a single-car driveway, a full two-car replacement with tear-out, or a decorative stamped upgrade, the honest way to budget is with an on-site estimate — slope, access, soil, thickness, and finish all factor in, and no online calculator can see your property.
Concrete vs. Asphalt vs. Pavers
Asphalt can look attractive up front but suffers in St. George's heat — 110°F summers soften asphalt and shorten its life, and it needs resealing every few years. Pavers look great but cost more than stamped concrete and can shift over time. Concrete hits the sweet spot in this climate: it handles the heat, needs minimal maintenance, and lasts 25–40 years when poured right.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
- Measure your driveway (length × width) so you can talk real numbers.
- Decide how it will be used — cars only, or trucks/trailers/RV too.
- Pick a finish direction: standard, exposed aggregate, or stamped.
- Get an on-site estimate — soil and slope can't be quoted from a phone call.
