Concrete cost guide for Lubbock
Concrete is priced mostly by the square foot, but thickness, reinforcement, demolition, access and finish all move the number. Use these ranges to sanity-check quotes — not as a price promise.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Plain driveway (broom finish) | $6–$12 per sq ft | 4" thick, includes forming and finishing |
| Stamped or coloured concrete | $12–$20+ per sq ft | Pattern, colour and sealer |
| Concrete patio | $6–$15 per sq ft | Higher for decorative finishes or poor access |
| Old concrete removal | $2–$6 per sq ft | Breaking out and hauling away |
| Shop / garage slab | $5–$10 per sq ft | Larger slabs cost less per sq ft |
| Crack repair / slab lifting | From a few hundred dollars | Depends on length, width and number of panels |
Rough US ranges for budgeting, compiled from public cost guides and contractor pricing; local prices change with materials, fuel and demand. Always compare written quotes.
Example: a two-car driveway
A 20×24 ft driveway is about 480 sq ft. At $6–$12 per sq ft, that's roughly $2,900–$5,800 for a plain finish, before any removal of old concrete or a new street approach.
Ways to keep the cost down
- Keep shapes simple — curves and steps add labour.
- Book outside the busiest season if your timing is flexible.
- Do your own clean-up of plants and items in the work area, but leave demolition and base work to the crew.
- Compare at least three quotes with the same thickness, reinforcement and finish so they're like-for-like.
