💬What People Actually Paid
Community❓Common Questions
Yes, the City of San Antonio requires a permit for new driveway construction or expansions. Fees typically range from $50 to $300 depending on the project scope and drainage requirements.
San Antonio's expansive clay soil requires a more robust sub-base (often 4-6 inches of crushed stone) to prevent cracking. This can add $1.00 to $2.50 per square foot to the initial site preparation costs.
For both asphalt and concrete, you should wait at least 48 to 72 hours before driving a standard vehicle on the surface. In extreme summer heat (100°F+), contractors often recommend waiting up to 5-7 days for concrete to cure properly.
Asphalt is generally the most affordable permanent option at $3.25 to $6.50 per square foot. However, gravel remains the budget leader at approximately $1.35 to $2.00 per square foot.
