Driveway Replacement, Stamped Patio, and Garage Apron
Three-part project at 4412 Ridgecrest Drive: 1. Driveway replacement: Remove and dispose of existing 640 sq ft asphalt driveway. Pour new 640 sq ft concrete driveway, broom finish. 2. Rear patio: Pour new 320 sq ft stamped concrete patio, attached to existing back door. Stamped ashlar slate pattern, integral color (Autumn Wheat), two-coat solvent sealer. 3. Garage apron: Pour new 48 sq ft concrete apron (6 ft wide x 8 ft deep) where asphalt meets garage floor. Match existing garage slab thickness.
Driveway: Mix: 4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete Thickness: 4 inches throughout, 6 inches at edges Reinforcement: 6x6 W1.4xW1.4 welded wire mesh on chairs Control joints: saw-cut at 10-ft intervals within 12 hours of pour Finish: medium broom, uniform direction Stamped patio: Mix: 4,000 PSI with integral color (Davis Colors Autumn Wheat, 1.5 lb/bag) Thickness: 4 inches throughout Reinforcement: #3 rebar at 18 inches on center, both directions Stamp pattern: Bomanite Ashlar Slate, random layout Color hardener: Brickform Antique Buff, broadcast and floated Sealer: 2 coats Sika 1315 solvent-based sealer (high-gloss) Control joints: hand-tooled during pour to hide in pattern lines Garage apron: Mix: 4,000 PSI Thickness: 4 inches, with 8-inch thickened edge at transition to apron Reinforcement: wire mesh, lapped and tied to existing slab if accessible Expansion joint: 1/2-inch closed-cell foam at garage slab interface
Asphalt driveway demo and removal: 640 sq ft of existing asphalt, full-depth removal with skid-steer. Estimated 6–7 tons. Hauled to licensed facility, disposal fees included. Excavation: grade and compact subbase for patio area. Install 4-inch compacted Class II base for driveway if existing subgrade fails inspection (credited back if subgrade passes — see pricing notes). Formwork: set forms and establish grade for all three pours. Client responsible for marking irrigation heads prior to start. Any sprinkler repairs caused by marked heads not our liability; unmarked heads repaired at $45 each.
Driveway (640 sq ft, broom finish): Demo and haul-off (asphalt, est. 6 tons): $780 Subbase prep and compaction: $420 Concrete (est. 11 cy at $165/cy): $1,815 Labor, forming, finishing, saw-cutting: $2,080 Driveway subtotal: $5,095 Stamped patio (320 sq ft): Excavation and base prep: $380 Concrete with integral color (est. 5 cy at $180/cy): $900 Color hardener and stamp labor: $960 Sealer (2 coats): $320 Stamped patio subtotal: $2,560 Garage apron (48 sq ft): Concrete (est. 0.8 cy, 1 cy minimum charge): $165 Labor and forming: $340 Garage apron subtotal: $505 Project total: $8,160 Notes: Final concrete billing based on actual cubic yards per delivery tickets. If pours run over estimate, overage billed at same unit price. Optional Class II subbase for driveway (if needed): $680 additional — decision made day of excavation, client notified before proceeding. Deposit: 33% ($2,693) due at signing. 33% due morning of pour. Balance due within 5 days of completion.
Demo and site prep: Day 1. Driveway and apron pour: Day 2 (same-day if weather holds). Stamped patio: Day 3 or 4, minimum 48 hours after driveway to avoid vibration transfer to fresh concrete. Sealer: applied 28 days after patio pour — sealing before 28-day cure compromises adhesion. Client may use driveway for foot traffic after 48 hours, vehicle traffic after 7 days.
Workmanship: 1 year on all flatwork labor. Cracks wider than 1/4 inch within the first year that originate at control joints or edges (not from tree roots, vehicle overload, or subgrade settlement outside our prep) will be addressed at no charge. Stamped finish: hairline shrinkage cracks at stamp impressions are normal and not covered under warranty. Color variation between pours and over time from UV exposure is not a defect. Sealer maintenance: client responsible for resealing patio every 2–3 years. We recommend Sika 1315 or equivalent. Failure to reseal voids finish warranty after year 2. Load limits: residential driveway designed for passenger vehicles and light trucks up to 10,000 lbs GVW. Concrete trucks, loaded dump trucks, or heavy equipment not permitted on finished slab without prior written agreement and additional reinforcement specification.

Create Your Free AccountPut the PSI spec in the proposal, not your head. A 3,000 PSI mix for a residential driveway and a 4,000 PSI mix for a garage slab are not interchangeable, and clients who get a lower bid from someone mixing 2,500 PSI don't know that's why the price is lower. State the mix design, reinforcement (rebar vs. wire mesh vs. fiber), and slab thickness for every pour. When the competitor's driveway cracks in four years, your proposal is the reason yours didn't.
Demo and haul-off is its own line item, full stop. Clients who have existing concrete assume it disappears in the price. A 500-square-foot driveway demo is 4–6 tons of broken concrete that has to be trucked somewhere — that's a separate cost with a separate disposal fee in most markets. Break it out. Clients who see a line for 'Demo and haul-off: $850' understand they're paying for that work. Clients who see it buried in a total will argue about it.
Stamped concrete pricing has three variables most clients don't know about: the stamp pattern, the color system, and the sealer. A basic broom-finish patio and a stamped ashlar slate patio with integral color, color hardener, and two coats of solvent-based sealer are four times apart in cost. Don't let clients pick a finish from a photo and then be surprised at the number. Get the finish selection made before you price it, and put it in the proposal by name.
Control joint placement isn't cosmetic — it's structural. Joints cut at 10-foot intervals on a 4-inch slab are what prevent random cracking. If you're cutting saw joints versus hand-tooling them during pour, say so. If the client wants no visible joints (happens), document that you recommended them and they declined. Random cracking complaints on residential flatwork are almost always traced back to missing or misplaced control joints.
Cubic yard pricing with an overage clause protects you on formed pours. A foundation or thickened-edge slab that runs long doesn't get absorbed into your labor. Put the unit price in the proposal and state that final billing is based on actual cubic yards poured per delivery tickets, not the estimate. Clients who understand this are fine with it. Clients who don't and get a $200 overage on a $9,000 pour feel ambushed. Write it down.
