Georgetown concrete driveway prices for 2026
Per-foot rates, sample totals, and every item that pushes the price up or down. That includes the base Blackland clay demands.
The quick number
For 2026, plan on $9 to $13 per square foot for a new broom-finished driveway with rebar.
A usual two-car drive covers 600 to 650 square feet. That lands at $5,500 to $8,500.
Three things push it higher. Removing an old slab: $3 to $5 a foot. Clay base work east of I-35: $1.50 to $3 a foot. Stamped or decorative work: close to twice the per-foot rate.

Each figure covers digging, a compacted base, #3 rebar on chairs, 3,500-psi mix four inches thick (six at the approach), control joints, expansion joints at the garage and walk, and cleanup. Tear-out, clay base work, permits and upgraded finishes are extra. They're listed below.
Included at the base rate

- A compacted base. West side: native limestone fines. East side: select fill.
- #3 rebar at 18 inches on center, held up on chairs. No mesh lying in the dirt.
- 3,500-psi mix. Four inches thick, six at the approach.
- Control joints every 10 to 12 feet.
- Expansion joints at the garage and at the sidewalk.
- A broom finish, plus a joint at the approach.
Extras, line by line
Old driveway removal: $3 to $5 per sq ft
We break it up and haul it off. Thicker slabs, or ones packed with steel, run higher.
Clay base work: $1.50 to $3 per sq ft
This applies east of I-35: 78626, Teravista, Berry Creek, Hutto and east Round Rock. We dig out 8 to 12 inches of Blackland clay and swap in compacted select fill. Skip it and the new slab heaves just like the old one. The clay guide has the details.
Approach permit: $150 to $450
Where your driveway crosses the easement to the street, the City of Georgetown wants a right-of-way permit and an inspection. The quote lists the fee and our handling.
Extra thickness: $1 to $2 per sq ft
Parking a boat, an RV or a heavy truck? Go to five or six inches with #4 rebar.
Finish upgrades
Exposed aggregate or knockdown: $2 to $4 more per square foot. Stamped: $6 to $11 more. Stone or paver border: $9 to $16 per linear foot. Integral color: $1 to $2 per square foot.
Rock and access
Shallow limestone on west-side lots can call for a breaker. That's $400 to $1,500, priced once we probe. If a mixer truck can't get to the pour, a line pump adds $400 to $900.
Concrete, pavers or asphalt?
Pavers cost $16 to $26 installed here. On clay, each one heaves on its own. They suit the limestone side, and HOAs that favor them.
Asphalt costs $5 to $8. It goes soft in Texas sun and needs sealing. You'll rarely see it on a Georgetown house.
Concrete sits between the two. It's durable, low-maintenance and cheaper than pavers, provided the base suits the soil. More in the pavers vs. stamped concrete guide.
Common questions
Is $7,000 fair for a Georgetown driveway?
On the limestone side, for a two-car drive with rebar and tear-out, yes. That's mid-range. On clay, with base work, $8,000 to $9,500 is fair. A bid under $5,000 for that job skips the base or lays mesh in the dirt. Over $12,000 means stamped work, a large drive, or a bid worth comparing.
What does widening a driveway cost?
Figure $11 to $15 per square foot for the added strip. A 3-by-32 strip comes to about $1,100 to $1,500. Add the approach permit if it reaches the street. Most HOAs allow two to four extra feet.
Does a Georgetown driveway need a permit?
The approach sits in the city right-of-way, so inside city limits it always does. New or enlarged driveways on the lot usually need one as well. Repairs and resurfacing don't.
When can I drive on it?
Foot traffic after 24 hours. Cars after 7 days. Trucks, boats and RVs after 28.
Is financing an option?
Yes. Use our third-party lender or a HELOC. For a repair or a widening, a credit card works.
