Driveways & Exterior Flatwork
Utah Driveways & Exterior Flatwork pricing. These concrete or asphalt surfaces provide access, parking, and hardscape. Curb appeal starts here.
What’s Included
Includes exterior concrete driveways, walkways, front porch caps, RV pads, and backyard hardscape. Pricing depends on finish (broom, stamped, salt), thickness (4"–6"), reinforcement, and access. Does not include retaining walls, landscaping, or paver stone installation.
Builder Tips:
For steep or north-facing driveways, consider a broom finish or heated slab. Driveway width and thickness can dramatically affect cost — 4" is standard, 6" for trucks or RVs. Stamped or decorative finishes increase cost by 25–50%. Tie driveways into curb and gutter per city requirements.
Real World Example:
A 3-car garage home with a 1,000 sq ft concrete driveway and 250 sq ft front porch/walkways:
Broom finish: $6.50–$7.50/sq ft
Stamped finish: $9.00–$11.00/sq ft
Total: $8,000–$11,000 depending on finish and slope
