A concrete driveway in Vancouver, WA costs about $7–$12 per square foot for a standard broom finish, or roughly $4,200–$7,200 for a typical two-car driveway around 600 square feet. Decorative finishes like stamping or exposed aggregate raise the price to $11–$20 per square foot. Replacing an existing driveway adds $2–$4 per square foot for tear-out and disposal.
Driveways are usually poured 5–6 inches thick because they carry vehicle weight, which uses more concrete than a 4-inch patio slab. Shape matters too — curved or sloped driveways need custom forming and cost more than a simple rectangle.
A concrete patio in Vancouver, WA runs about $6–$11 per square foot with a standard finish — roughly $1,800–$3,300 for a 300-square-foot patio. A stamped patio costs $11–$20 per square foot, and exposed aggregate falls around $8–$15. Larger patios cost less per square foot, while small or hard-to-reach backyard areas cost more because of minimum labor and limited truck access.
Yes. A broom finish is the standard and most affordable option in Vancouver. Smooth and colored finishes add a little, exposed aggregate runs about $8–$15 per square foot, and stamped concrete is the most expensive at $11–$20 per square foot — often close to double a plain broom finish for the same slab. The added cost covers stamps, release agents, coloring, and extra finishing labor.
Finished concrete work is priced per square foot, which bundles materials, labor, and finishing. Ready-mix concrete itself is sold per cubic yard — about $125–$175 delivered in 2026 — but that’s only the raw material before labor. For homeowners comparing contractor quotes, per-square-foot pricing is the most useful number, because it reflects the full installed cost of the project.
The biggest factors are size, thickness, and finish. A 6-inch slab uses about 50% more concrete than a 4-inch slab, decorative finishes can double the price, and replacing old concrete adds tear-out cost. Site prep, grading, drainage for the area’s wet winters, rebar reinforcement, and limited backyard access all push the final number up.
Removing and hauling away existing concrete adds about $2–$4 per square foot on top of the new pour. Replacing a 600-square-foot driveway therefore costs roughly $1,200–$2,400 more than pouring on bare ground. The exact figure depends on slab thickness, whether it’s reinforced, and how easily a truck can reach the area for disposal.
For driveways, usually yes. The City of Vancouver requires a permit to add or modify a driveway or RV pad, and any work that touches the public right-of-way — the driveway approach, curb, or sidewalk — needs a separate right-of-way permit that must be issued to a licensed contractor. Patios and slabs on private property often don’t require one, but we confirm and pull every permit your project needs.
In unincorporated Clark County, a new driveway connecting to a county road needs a road-approach permit, and retaining walls over four feet tall require a permit plus engineering by a Washington-registered engineer. Permit fees vary by project, and we handle the paperwork so you don’t have to.
Winter — roughly December through February — is usually the most affordable time to pour concrete in the Vancouver area, when ready-mix demand is lower and prices can run about 8–12% below the spring peak. Spring and summer carry a premium because crews book up. The tradeoff is weather: the Pacific Northwest’s wet winters mean pours are scheduled around the rain.
Concrete can be poured year-round here with the right mix and timing. If your project schedule is flexible, booking in the off-season is one of the simplest ways to save.
Most driveways and patios are finished in 3 to 7 days, weather permitting — a day or two for forming and site prep, the pour itself, then curing time before the surface can be used.
You can usually walk on new concrete after 24 to 48 hours and park vehicles on it after about 7 days. Concrete reaches full strength in roughly 28 days.
Yes. The City of Vancouver requires a permit to add or modify a driveway or RV pad, plus a separate right-of-way permit for the driveway approach, which must be issued to a licensed contractor. We handle all permitting for your project.
Concrete can be poured year-round in Vancouver. Winter is often the cheapest time, while dry spring and summer days are ideal for curing. We schedule pours around the forecast so the slab cures properly.
Yes. With proper drainage, a well-compacted gravel base, and sealing, concrete holds up well to the Pacific Northwest’s heavy rain and mild freeze-thaw cycles.
