Concrete driveways, patios & slabs in Lincoln Park, poured to handle Michigan freeze-thaw winters, road salt and Downriver clay.

By HomeGuide's published 2026 national figures, a concrete driveway costs $6 to $15 per square foot, or $2,400 to $8,600 for a two-car drive. Those are not our quotes. Your price depends on the size, tear-out, the base your lot needs and the finish. See our concrete cost guide.
