FAQ

How much does a concrete driveway cost in Sherman?

Direct answer

Published national cost guides put plain gray concrete at roughly $4 to $8 per square foot installed, with decorative finishes above that, so a typical two-car replacement lands in the mid four figures to low five figures. The honest number comes from a free on-site walkthrough with a written fixed price.

More detail

Driveway pricing is set by more than square footage, which is why a per-foot number quoted over the phone is a guess. Five factors move a Sherman quote. Tear-out: sawing, breaking, and hauling off an old slab costs real money that a pour over prepared ground does not. Base work: on Blackland clay east and south of town, moisture conditioning and 4 to 6 inches of compacted flex base are what keep the new driveway flat, and they are a meaningful share of the price; on sandy ground west of US 75 the base scope is lighter. Thickness and steel: a 4-inch car driveway and a 6-inch section that carries a loaded trailer are different quantities of concrete and rebar. The road end: a culvert set or replaced, a TxDOT-geometry approach on a highway, or a tie-in to a city sidewalk each add defined line items. Finish: broom-finish gray prices below stamped or decorative work. The way to compare bids is to compare scopes, not totals: a lower number that says nothing about base depth, reinforcement, joint layout, or haul-off is not a lower price for the same driveway. Every estimate here is written, itemized, and fixed before work begins, and the estimate itself is free.
