How much does a 2-car concrete driveway cost?

At national rates of $6 to $15 per square foot (HomeGuide, June 2025), a 20 by 24 foot driveway (480 square feet) comes to about $2,880 to $7,200. Removing an old driveway first adds about $1,440 to $3,840 at $3 to $8 per square foot (HomeGuide, May 2025).

What does a 20 by 20 concrete driveway cost?

A 20 by 20 driveway is 400 square feet, so HomeGuide's $6 to $15 per square foot (June 2025) puts it at about $2,400 to $6,000. Taking out an old one first adds $3 to $8 per square foot (HomeGuide, May 2025). The calculator on this page works it out for any size.

What does a 20 by 40 concrete driveway cost?

At 800 square feet, about $4,800 to $12,000 at HomeGuide's national rates. Huntsville estimate sites reach higher at the top: Hometriva puts driveway replacement here at $6 to $21 per square foot (August 2026).

Why do small concrete jobs cost more per square foot?

Every job needs the crew's time, a delivered load of concrete and setup, whatever its size. A small pad spreads those fixed costs over fewer square feet. Combining a walkway, a pad and steps into one visit is a common way to bring the price down.

Is concrete cheaper than asphalt?

Concrete usually costs a little more up front, and lasts longer. In its concrete-versus-asphalt comparison table (June 2025), HomeGuide lists concrete at $6 to $14 or more per square foot, lasting 30 to 40 years, and asphalt at $5 to $12 or more, lasting 15 to 30 years.

What changes the price of concrete work

Square footage. The biggest factor. Larger areas cost more in total but usually less per square foot.
Removal. Breaking out and hauling away an old driveway or patio is extra, and thicker or reinforced old concrete takes longer.
Base work. Grading, digging out soft spots, adding and compacting base material (the crushed stone under the slab). Wet, clayey or uneven ground adds work.
Thickness and reinforcement. 4 inches for cars and pickups; 5 to 6 inches for light trucks (Virginia Ready Mixed Concrete Association), plus rebar, wire or fibers.
Finish. Broom finish costs least; exposed aggregate (a surface that shows the small stones) and color more; stamped patterns the most.
Shape and grade. Curves, steps and slopes take more work to set up and pour than a flat rectangle.
Access. When the truck can't reach the pour, the concrete is pumped or wheeled in, which adds cost.
Permits. Work on the driveway approach or curb needs the City of Huntsville's Driveway Curb Cut Permit; see the permits guide.

What a written concrete quote should list

The area in square feet and the thickness.
Removal and haul-away of the old surface, if any.
Base preparation: grading, base material, compaction.
Reinforcement, and the joint spacing (how far apart the crack-control grooves are).
The finish, the color and the sealer, if any.
Permits, if the job needs any, and who gets them.
Cleanup, payment schedule and start date.

Ways to lower the cost of concrete work

Keep the shape simple: rectangles cost less to shape than curves.
Choose a plain broom finish with a stamped or colored border instead of stamping the whole area.
Combine small jobs, like a walkway, a pad and steps, into one pour.
Clear the area and make room for the truck to get close.
Get two or three written quotes for the same work, so you can compare them fairly.
