💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
Yes, the City of Dallas requires a permit for new driveways or significant expansions. Residential permit fees typically range from $50 to $150, and the approval process can take 2 to 4 weeks.
Dallas features expansive clay soil that shifts with moisture. To prevent cracking, contractors must install a 4 to 6-inch compacted crushed limestone base, which typically adds $1 to $2 per square foot to the project cost.
Concrete is the standard for North Texas because it withstands the 100°F+ summer heat better than asphalt, which can soften and rut. While concrete costs more upfront ($8-$15/sq ft), it lasts 30-50 years compared to asphalt's 15-20 years.
Demolition and haul-away of an old concrete or asphalt driveway in the Dallas area typically costs between $1 and $3 per square foot, depending on the thickness and reinforcement (rebar) of the existing slab.
