Average Concrete Driveway Costs in Palm Beach County
South Florida concrete driveway pricing depends on the finish you choose, site conditions, and total square footage. Here are the typical ranges Palm Beach County homeowners pay in 2026:
- Plain concrete (broom finish): $6–$9 per sq ft
- Stamped concrete: $12–$18 per sq ft
- Decorative overlay (existing slab): $8–$14 per sq ft
- Exposed aggregate: $10–$16 per sq ft
What Affects the Price of a Concrete Driveway?
Several factors move the final number up or down. Understanding these helps you budget accurately before requesting quotes.
- Square footage — Larger driveways get a lower per-sq-ft rate, but the total is higher
- Demolition — Removing an existing driveway adds $2–$4 per sq ft
- Site prep — Grading, fill dirt, and compaction can add $1,000–$3,000
- Finish type — Stamped, stained, or overlay finishes cost more than plain concrete
- Thickness — Standard is 4”; heavy vehicle loads may need 5–6”
- Permits — Palm Beach County requires permits for new pours; typical fee is $150–$400
Plain Concrete vs. Stamped vs. Overlay: Which Is Worth It?
Plain broom-finish concrete is the most affordable and works well for purely functional driveways. Stamped concrete mimics the look of pavers, brick, or natural stone at roughly half the cost of actual pavers. Decorative overlays are ideal when your existing slab is structurally sound but looks dated—you skip demolition entirely, saving $1,500–$4,000 on removal alone.
