💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
For a typical 400-square-foot driveway, homeowners in Phoenix can expect to pay between $5,100 and $7,800 for professional installation, depending on the choice between asphalt and reinforced concrete.
Yes. While asphalt is cheaper at $3.25–$5.20 per sq ft, it softens in extreme heat and requires resealing every 3–5 years. Concrete, costing $6.00–$11.55 per sq ft, is more durable in the Arizona sun and has a lifespan of 50+ years.
Demolition and hauling of an existing concrete or asphalt slab typically costs between $2.00 and $4.00 per square foot. Harder 'caliche' soil common in the Valley can increase excavation costs.
Standard gray concrete is the baseline, but stamped or colored concrete 'paver-looks' can increase the price to $14.00–$21.00 per square foot in the Phoenix market.
