Total installed cost typically ranges from $8 to $18 per square foot, depending on thickness, finish type, local labor rates, and site preparation needs.
Standard residential driveways are typically 4 to 5 inches thick. Driveways for heavy vehicles or RVs may need 6 inches with reinforcement.
This estimates plain concrete costs. Stamped, colored, or decorative finishes typically add $3 to $10 per square foot on top of the base cost.
