Why the numbers are what they are
A 4-inch slab uses one cubic yard of concrete per 81 square feet; at $175–$280 per cu yd delivered in the Orlando market this quarter, material for a 480-square-foot driveway is roughly $1,050 to $1,700 before the short-load and fuel surcharges suppliers add. The rest of the price is base (limerock delivered and compacted), forms, fiber and rebar, a crew of three to four for two days, finishing, joints, cure, haul-off, permit fees and the truck's minimum. That is why the same slab is $8.50 per square foot on a straightforward lot and $13.50 on a lot with tight access, a saturated subgrade and a downspout to reroute.

What changes the concrete price from city to city
| Place | Typical adjustment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Kissimmee | Index baseline | Reference market |
| Buenaventura Lakes | Low end | Straightforward tear-outs, clean sand, no HOA |
| St. Cloud | Baseline; +fill on lakefront and east side | Basinger/EauGallie lots need raising |
| Poinciana | Low end; +DCB time | Routine replacements; DCB approval before work |
| Celebration | High end | Alley access, ARC materials, matching |
| Harmony & Narcoossee | +fill | Surface water table on EauGallie/Basinger sand |
| Davenport, Haines City | Slightly below baseline on labor | Ridge sand: no water table, wetted base |
| Four Corners, ChampionsGate, Reunion | High end | Gate access, turnover scheduling, ARC, insurance certificates |
Concrete or something else?
Pavers run 50 to 70 percent more than broom-finish concrete up front and can be lifted for repairs (Concrete vs. Pavers). Stamped concrete sits between the two (Stamped Concrete vs. Pavers). Resurfacing a sound slab costs about half of a new pour (Resurface vs. Replace). The Concrete vs. Pavers Decision Tool gives a recommendation in eight questions.

Where the money goes on a concrete driveway
| Component | Roughly what share | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ready-mix concrete | 20 to 30 percent | About one cubic yard per 81 sq ft at 4 inches |
| Demolition and haul-off | 15 to 25 percent on a replacement | Nothing on a new pour |
| Base material and compaction | 10 to 15 percent | The line that gets cut in a cheap quote |
| Forming and finishing labour | 25 to 35 percent | A crew day whether the slab is 300 or 600 sq ft |
| Steel, fibre and chairs | 3 to 8 percent | Higher on a 6-inch grid |
| Permit, notice of commencement, inspections | 3 to 6 percent | Fixed cost, proportionally heavy on small jobs |
| Overheads, insurance, warranty reserve | The balance | What makes the warranty mean something |
What changes the concrete price from city to city
The concrete itself costs the same everywhere in our territory. What varies is around it. A Kissimmee or Buenaventura Lakes job frequently needs structural fill once the old slab is up, because the base washed out over forty years. A Celebration or Poinciana job carries an architectural submission and a wait. A St. Cloud rural job carries access questions and sometimes a pump truck. A Davenport or Haines City job needs the ridge base method, which is the same materials with more water and more passes. A Winter Haven or Lake Wales job carries an hour of travel each way.
None of those changes the rate per square foot for the concrete. All of them change the total, which is why we itemise rather than quoting a single blended number that quietly absorbs them.
What is not in these numbers
Structural fill where a washed-out base is found under an old slab. Drainage work beyond extending a downspout: a channel drain, a French drain, a dry well or a regraded swale. Tree root work, including barriers and any arborist involvement. Access constraints that rule out a machine or require a pump truck. Engineered work of any kind. Sales tax where it applies to materials. Association fees.
All of those are real and none of them is hidden; they appear as their own lines in a proposal after a site visit. The reason they are excluded from the index rather than averaged into it is that averaging them would make every figure wrong for every job: too high for the straightforward ones, too low for the difficult ones.
What a written proposal from us contains
Dimensions and total area for each element. Demolition and haul-off where it applies. Base depth and material. Slab thickness, mix strength, fibre and reinforcement with spacing and how it is supported. Joint layout and spacing. The finish. The drainage design, including any downspout work. Permit and notice of commencement responsibility. Access notes and anything about the site that affects the method. Exclusions, stated rather than implied. The payment schedule tied to milestones. The workmanship warranty and its exclusions. And a validity period, because material prices move.
That is longer than a one-line quote and it is the document that makes a comparison possible. If another contractor's proposal is missing four of those lines, the difference in the numbers is partly a difference in what is being bought.
Questions we get about this
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Kissimmee?
About $8.50–$13.50 per sq ft installed for a 4-inch broom finish in the Q3 2026 index; a 480-square-foot two-car driveway is $4,080 to $6,480 before removal of an old slab ($960 to $1,920).
How much does a 2-car concrete driveway cost?
Roughly $4,100 to $6,500 for 480 square feet of new concrete, $5,000 to $8,400 if the old drive has to be removed.
How much is a 12x12 concrete patio?
About $1,300 to $1,900; small pours sit at the top of the per-foot range because of truck minimums.
What does it cost to remove an old driveway?
$2.00–$4.00 per sq ft; a two-car driveway is $960 to $1,920.
Is 6-inch concrete worth it?
For boats, RVs and trucks, yes; it runs 35 to 45 percent more than 4-inch and stops the apron and pad cracks those loads cause. For cars only, 4 inches on a real base is right.
What is a normal deposit?
A deposit that covers materials and permit fees at contract signing, with the balance on completion, is typical for residential flatwork; the contract states the schedule. We do not ask for full payment up front.
