Concrete Driveways Charleston SC

A properly installed concrete driveway in the Charleston area typically lasts 25–30 years. The Lowcountry's high humidity and occasional freeze-thaw cycles are mild compared to northern climates, which is good for concrete longevity. The key factors are proper base preparation, correct concrete mix, and adequate reinforcement.

Concrete driveway costs in the Charleston area typically range from $6 to $12 per square foot for a standard broom-finish installation, depending on site conditions, thickness, and reinforcement.

Yes. We handle full demolition and haul-away of existing concrete before the new pour. Pouring over an old slab is not recommended — it creates drainage and thickness issues that lead to premature cracking.
