Short answer: no cost guide publishes a figure for Melbourne, Florida alone, so we use the nearest one. Angi's Orlando cost guide puts concrete driveways at $5–$21 per square foot, with most projects between $2,738 and $14,703 and an average of $6,490 (updated May 2026). Orlando is about 70 miles from Melbourne. Treat that as a Central Florida number, not a Brevard County one.
These are published market estimates. They are not our prices. Actual project pricing requires a free estimate.
Below: where those numbers come from, what a 20x20 or two-car driveway works out to, what tear-out adds, and what moves your number. If you're still deciding between a new driveway and a replacement, start with our concrete driveway page.
Concrete driveway prices at a glance
| Where the number applies | Typical range | Source (page date) |
|---|---|---|
| Central Florida (Orlando) | $5–$21 per sq ft · most projects $2,738–$14,703 · average $6,490 | Angi, Orlando, FL cost guide (May 5, 2026) |
| Central Florida, plain vs stamped | $6–$9 per sq ft standard · $11–$15 stamped | Linked Concrete, a Florida contractor-matching site (Aug 10, 2026) |
| National | $8–$20 per sq ft · most projects $2,700–$14,500, including removing old concrete · average $6,400 | Angi national cost guide (Apr 16, 2026) |
| National | $6–$15 per sq ft · $2,400–$8,600 for a typical two-car driveway | HomeGuide (June 3, 2025) |
| National | $9.86–$12.11 per sq ft for a basic driveway | Homewyse (Sep 2026) |
Why is the range so wide? It covers everything from a plain broom-finish slab to decorative work. The low end is plain concrete on easy ground. The high end is decorative finishes, tear-out and hard sites.
You may also see a Melbourne "calculator" price of about $3 a square foot. That one prices a small, basic pad (a 642 sq ft example on Homeyou, Aug 2026), and it sits below every cost guide in the table. We don't use it, and we wouldn't budget from it.
How much would a 20x20 concrete driveway cost?
A 20x20 driveway is 400 square feet. At Angi's Orlando range of $5–$21 per square foot, that's about $2,000–$8,400. At the Central Florida plain-finish rate of $6–$9, it's about $2,400–$3,600.
Those two lines are our own arithmetic from published per-square-foot rates. They're not quotes. Published two-car figures land in the same place:
- $2,400–$6,000 for a standard-finish two-car driveway of 400–600 sq ft, or $4,800–$10,800 stamped (Linked Concrete, Florida, Aug 2026)
- $2,400–$8,600 for a typical two-car driveway (HomeGuide, national, June 2025)
Concrete driveway cost by size
Length times width gives you square feet. Multiply that by the per-square-foot rate. Here's that math for common sizes.
| Size | Square feet | Plain finish at $6–$9 per sq ft | All finishes at $5–$21 per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10x20 | 200 | $1,200–$1,800 | $1,000–$4,200 |
| 20x20 | 400 | $2,400–$3,600 | $2,000–$8,400 |
| 20x30 | 600 | $3,600–$5,400 | $3,000–$12,600 |
| 20x50 | 1,000 | $6,000–$9,000 | $5,000–$21,000 |
| 10x200 | 2,000 | $12,000–$18,000 | $10,000–$42,000 |
Rates: Linked Concrete, Central Florida standard ($6–$9, Aug 2026) and Angi, Orlando, FL ($5–$21, May 2026). The totals are our arithmetic. They aren't published figures, and they aren't our prices.
Look at the big sizes. Past about 700 square feet, the all-finishes math runs above $14,703, the top of Angi's Orlando "most projects" band. A long or oversized driveway is where a site visit matters most.
How much would a 200 ft concrete driveway cost? It depends which 200 you mean. A 200-square-foot pad is the first row: roughly $1,000–$4,200. A driveway 200 feet long and 10 feet wide is 2,000 square feet, the last row. Make it 12 feet wide and it's 2,400 square feet, or about $14,400–$21,600 at the plain rate.

What does replacing an old driveway cost?
Replacement costs more than a new pour because the old slab has to come out first. Linked Concrete puts Florida driveway replacement at $8–$12 per square foot, including demolition. It says removal alone runs $2–$4 per square foot, plus disposal fees (Aug 2026). Angi's national project range ($2,700–$14,500) also includes removing existing concrete.
For the same 20x20 driveway, that replacement rate works out to about $3,200–$4,800, against about $2,400–$3,600 for a new plain pour. That gap is the tear-out. (Our arithmetic from Linked Concrete's rates.)
Before you budget for a new one, make sure you need it:
- Sunken but not broken up? It may only need concrete leveling.
- Cracked in a few places? Concrete repair may be enough.
- Sound but worn? Resurfacing puts a new surface on the old slab.
Each of those pages lists its own typical market range. We'll tell you which one your driveway needs.
What moves the price of a concrete driveway?
- Size. Square footage drives most of the cost.
- Tear-out. Removing and hauling off an old slab adds to the total.
- The ground underneath. Brevard's sandy soil has to be compacted into a firm base. Skip that and the slab settles and cracks.
- Thickness and reinforcement. Heavier vehicles need a thicker slab and steel, like rebar or wire mesh. More concrete and more steel cost more.
- Finish. A broom finish costs least. Stamped runs $11–$15 a square foot in the same Central Florida figures, against $6–$9 for standard. See stamped concrete.
- Shape and access. Curves, flares and tight sites take more labor.
- Permits. Some jobs need one, and some fees are published (next section).
Here's what most price lists skip. Two quotes for the same driveway can be far apart because of what's under the concrete. So before you hire anyone, ask how they'll handle the base, the thickness and the steel.
How do you check a driveway quote against these numbers?
Divide the quote total by the driveway's square footage. That gives you its price per square foot, which you can line up against the table above.
Landing inside the range doesn't make a quote right, and landing outside it doesn't make it wrong. It tells you what to ask. A quote well below the range may leave out tear-out, base prep or permits. A quote near the top should come with a reason, like a decorative finish, a long haul-off or a hard site.
Do you need a permit for a driveway, and what does it cost?
Often, yes. It depends on who controls the road in front of your house.
- City of Melbourne: driveways are on the Building Department's list of work that needs a permit. Starting without one can bring a penalty of 100% of the usual permit fee. (Building FAQ)
- Palm Bay: driveway work in a city road or easement needs a Public Works driveway permit, with a pre-pour and a final inspection. (Code § 176.020)
- Unincorporated Brevard County: connecting to a county-maintained road needs a right-of-way permit. The county's application lists a $25 processing fee and $150 per residential driveway connection, and double the permit fee if work starts without one. (Residential right-of-way application)
- West Melbourne and other cities: check with your building department (West Melbourne: 321-837-7776).
If your job needs a permit, we handle getting it.
Rules and fees last checked September 24, 2026. They change, so confirm before you pour. There's more on driveway permits on our concrete driveway page.

Concrete driveway cost FAQ
Are these your prices?
No. They're published market estimates from Central Florida and national cost guides, and we name the source for each one. Actual project pricing requires a free estimate.
What is the average cost of a concrete driveway in Melbourne?
No cost guide publishes a Melbourne average. The closest is Angi's Orlando figure: $6,490 on average, with most projects between $2,738 and $14,703 (May 2026). Angi's national average is $6,400 (Apr 2026).
How much is a 2,000 sq ft concrete driveway?
About $12,000–$18,000 at the Central Florida plain-finish rate, or $10,000–$42,000 across Angi's full Orlando range. That's our arithmetic from published rates. A driveway that size needs a site visit for a real number.
Is it cheaper to do a concrete driveway or asphalt?
We don't have a sourced Central Florida asphalt range, so we won't guess. The fair comparison is two written quotes for the same size driveway. Get the asphalt quote, then get a free concrete estimate to put next to it.
When can I drive on a new concrete driveway?
Industry guidance is to wait at least 24 hours before walking on it, 3 days before bikes, 7 days before driving and parking cars, and 28 days before RVs or heavy trucks (Concrete Network). We'll confirm the timing for your job before we start.
Does rain delay the pour?
It can. Weather can affect concrete scheduling, and fresh concrete and a Florida downpour don't mix. Leave a little room in your plans.
