Overview
Concrete driveway cost is priced per square foot and depends on thickness, finish, reinforcement, and site prep required (grading, old driveway removal).
Why California prices differ
Freeze-thaw climates require thicker slabs and proper reinforcement, raising cost. Removal of an old asphalt or concrete driveway adds to the total in any region.
