How Much Does Driveway Replacement Cost in 2026?

Bottom line for 2026: Driveway replacement runs $5 to $30 per square foot installed , though removal of an existing concrete driveway can add $1,200-$3,600+ to the total project. A standard 2-car driveway (600 sq ft) costs $3,000–$6,000 for asphalt , $5,400–$10,800 for concrete , and $10,000–$20,000+ for pavers . Asphalt is cheapest upfront and lasts 15–25 years. Concrete lasts 25–40 years. Pavers can last 50+ years. Gravel is cheapest of all at $1.50–$3.50/sq ft but needs annual top-up.

2026 installed pricing per square foot, including removal of existing surface, base prep, and finish. Low-end costs reflect a simple job on a level lot with easy access; high-end costs reflect complex demolition, significant grading, or high-cost-of-living areas.
