A broom finish concrete driveway in Fort Worth runs about $6 to $10 per square foot installed. Most two-car driveways run 600 to 720 square feet, so plan on roughly $3,600 to $7,200 before any tear-out. Exposed aggregate, stamped finishes, a thicker slab or breaking out the old driveway all push that up. Below is what goes into the number and how to work out your own. For a firm price on your driveway, call (817) 207-5579.

Where the money goes
People are often surprised that the concrete itself is only part of the bill. A 720 square foot driveway at 4 inches takes 9 to 10 cubic yards once you add a little for waste. The rest of the price is labor and everything that happens before the truck arrives:
- Digging out and grading the base, and hauling off extra dirt
- Building and setting forms to the right slope
- Cutting, tying and chairing the rebar
- The finishing crew on pour day, which can be four to six people on a big driveway
- Sawing joints, spraying cure and stripping forms
That is why a small slab costs more per square foot than a large one. The crew, the truck and the forms cost about the same at 100 square feet as they do at 300, and most jobs under that size hit our minimum of about $1,500.
Call and we will measure and price your driveway at no charge.
What raises the price
Tearing out the old driveway
Breaking out the old slab and hauling it away adds roughly $1 to $4 a square foot. Thick slabs, slabs full of steel and a second slab hiding under the first all sit at the high end.
A thicker slab
Going from 4 to 6 inches for an RV, a work truck or a trailer adds about $2 to $3 per square foot for the extra concrete and heavier steel.
The approach at the street
In Fort Worth, the approach in the parkway has to be at least 6 inches thick with #3 rebar on 18 inch centers, and it needs a city parkway permit and an inspection. That makes the approach cost more per square foot than the rest of the driveway.
Finish
Exposed aggregate runs about $9 to $14 per square foot, and stamped or colored concrete about $12 to $20. See stamped concrete for what goes into that.
The lot itself
A steep lot, a long reach for the truck, rock that has to be broken or a drainage problem that needs fixing all add cost. We find those at the estimate so they are in the price from the start.
Work out your own number
- Measure the length and width of the driveway in feet. Break an odd shape into rectangles and add them up.
- Multiply length by width for square feet.
- Multiply by $6 for the low end and $10 for the high end of a broom finish.
- Add $1 to $4 per square foot if the old driveway has to come out.
- For cubic yards at 4 inches thick, divide the square feet by 81.
The concrete cost calculator does this math for you, with finish, thickness and tear-out options.
Questions to ask before you sign
- How thick is the slab, and what steel goes in it?
- Does the price include tear-out, haul-off and the approach?
- Who pulls the permit, and is the permit fee in the price?
- How far apart will the control joints be?
- What happens to the price if you hit rock or bad soil?
- When can I walk on it, and when can I park on it?
A written estimate should answer every one of these. Ours do. Ready for a real number? See our driveway page or call us.
Questions about Concrete driveway cost in Fort Worth
- Is concrete cheaper than asphalt for a driveway?
- Asphalt usually costs less to put down, but it needs sealcoating and patching over the years. Concrete costs more on day one and asks for far less upkeep after that.
- Why do two quotes differ by thousands of dollars?
- Compare thickness, steel, joint spacing, tear-out and the approach line by line. A cheap quote often leaves out rebar, cuts the slab to 3.5 inches or skips the approach.
- Can I save money by doing the tear-out myself?
- You can, if you have a way to break and haul several tons of concrete. Most people find the rental and dump fees eat most of the savings.
