Pricing & Cost Factors
We do not publish set prices because every project is different. Here are the real factors that affect what your concrete project will cost — explained honestly.
Why Pricing Varies by Project
Every concrete project in Eastern Idaho is different. Soil conditions vary from one lot to the next. Access changes the equipment we need. The finish you choose changes the labor. A 400 square foot driveway on flat ground with good soil is a different project than a 400 square foot driveway on a hill with clay.
Publishing a per-square-foot price would either be too low (and we would have to surprise you later) or too high (and you would overpay). Neither is honest.
Instead, we give you a free on-site estimate that accounts for your actual conditions. The quote covers everything — permits, materials, labor, cleanup, and finishing. The price quoted is the price paid.
Cost Factors
Square Footage
The total area of the pour is the biggest factor. Larger projects cost more total but often less per square foot because setup, forming, and mobilization costs are spread over more area.
Slab Thickness & Reinforcement
A standard 4-inch slab costs less than a 6-inch structural slab with heavy rebar. Driveways that will support RVs or trailers need more concrete and reinforcement.
Sub-Base Conditions
If your soil requires extra excavation, poor soil removal, or additional gravel depth, that adds to the project scope. Eastern Idaho's clay-heavy soils sometimes need more sub-base work than other regions.
Finish Type
Standard broom finish is the most affordable. Colored concrete adds material cost for integral pigments. Stamped concrete adds pattern tooling, release agents, and sealer — it is the most labor-intensive finish.
Demolition & Removal
Replacing existing concrete adds demolition, hauling, and disposal costs. The amount depends on the thickness and area of the old slab.
Site Access & Grade
Steep grades, tight access, or long distances from the truck to the pour location increase labor and equipment costs.
