Concrete driveways remain one of the most popular and practical home improvements for Virginia homeowners. They offer a sleek, permanent look and can handle heavy vehicles, hot summers, and freezing winters better than most materials.
Average Costs
For most residential driveways, costs range between $6,000 and $12,000. The total depends on size, slope, site preparation, and finish type.
- Basic broom-finished driveway: $6–$9 per sq. ft.
- Stamped or decorative driveway: $10–$18 per sq. ft.
- Reinforced or thickened edge driveway: $8–$14 per sq. ft.
Factors That Influence Price
- Base Preparation: Removing an old driveway or stabilizing soft ground adds cost but ensures longevity.
- Thickness: Four inches is typical, but steep driveways or heavy loads may need thicker slabs.
- Finishes: Stamped or colored concrete increases aesthetic value and enhances curb appeal.
- Drainage and Grading: Proper water flow is essential to prevent cracking and shifting.
Benefits Over Asphalt
Concrete driveways outlast asphalt two to one. They don’t soften in the summer or require annual sealing. Over time, concrete costs less to maintain and increases property value thanks to its clean appearance and custom finish options.
