A standard concrete driveway costs $6 to $12 per square foot. Stamped or decorative concrete runs $10 to $18 per square foot. The average two-car driveway is 400-600 square feet.
A properly installed concrete driveway lasts 25 to 30 years or more. Sealing it every 2 to 3 years extends its life and prevents cracking.
Light foot traffic is safe after 24 to 48 hours. You can drive on it after 7 days. Heavy vehicles should wait 28 days for full cure.
Asphalt is cheaper upfront ($2 to $5 per sq ft vs. $6 to $12 for concrete) but requires more maintenance and has a shorter lifespan of 15 to 20 years.
Most areas require a permit for new driveways or significant expansions. Resurfacing typically does not. Check with your local building department.
