Concrete flatwork · Fairfax and Fairfax County

A driveway priced before anybody gets a tape out.

Tell us the square footage, how thick it has to be, what finish you want and whether an old slab is coming out. You get a real price range in about a minute. Then we come and measure it properly and put the number in writing.

Instant price range
The base comes firstCompacted stone and the fall checked for drainage before a truck is ordered.
Joints cut, not tooledSaw-cut the next morning, at the spacing the slab thickness asks for.
Old slab gone the same dayBroken out, loaded and tipped, and your grass put back where we walked.
Permits pulledWhere the pour meets the road it needs a county permit. We do that part.
What we do

Flatwork, start to finish, on houses across the county

Forms, a compacted base, the pour, the finish and the joints cut the morning after. We do not leave a slab to crack where somebody else guessed the spacing.

Most popular

Driveways and parking pads

Five inches with mesh or rebar, which is what a car and the occasional delivery truck need. Six if a pickup and a trailer live on it.

Everyday work

Patios, walkways and steps

Four inches, broom finished, with the fall set away from the house. The part that matters is where the water goes.

Curb appeal

Stamped and colored

Mats, release powder and a sealer, laid by hand in one day because the slab does not wait. Priced as a percentage of the pour, not as an afterthought.

Out the back

Garage, shop and shed slabs

Thicker, with a vapour barrier under it and the anchor bolts set while the mud is green. Tell us what is going on top of it.

Instant price too

Concrete sealing, crack and joint repair

Cracks chased out and filled, sunken sections foam-lifted back level, and a wash and seal that stops the next ten winters getting in.

Site visit

Foundations, structural slabs and commercial flatwork

Footings, foundation walls, retaining walls, shop floors and curb work. We take levels and read the drawing before we put a number on it.

How we price

A number before the trucks, not after them

The form at the top of this page uses our real rates. It shows a range rather than one number because the fall, the state of the ground and what is under the old slab are things we can only see standing on it.

Measure the area

Length times width, in feet, and add the pieces up if the shape is awkward. A two-car driveway is usually near 600 sq ft. That one number does most of the work.

See the range

Midpoint plus or minus 8%. Jobs under our $1,750 minimum quote at the minimum, because a truck and a crew cost the same for a small slab. Very large pours get a site visit instead of a number.

We measure and confirm

Free measure, exact price, written warranty. Travel is priced from your ZIP, and a booking taken between November 15 and March 15 carries our winter booking, poured in spring rate (-6%) — we cannot pour into frozen ground, so that work is scheduled for the spring and priced for booking early.

Service area

Based in Fairfax. We say what the trip costs before we make it.

Your ZIP code sets the travel line on your estimate. No surprises on the invoice, and no free hour-long drives with a trailer that quietly get built into everybody else’s price.

Notes for anyone evaluating the demo
  • Priced path. Pick New concrete driveway, patio or walkway, then: 600 sq ft, 5 inches, broom finish, mesh or rebar Yes, new crushed stone base, old slab out Yes, 600 sq ft of it, no pump, does not meet the street No. Use ZIP 22030. The live pricing engine returns $8,043 – $9,441 with the disclaimer, and the lead lands in the demo account’s inbox. 600 sq ft at $8.75 is $5,250, plus the $450 tear-out charge and 600 sq ft of old slab at $2.25 is $1,350, making $7,050; then the three percentage answers pool — five inches +8, reinforcement +6, new base +10 — and +24% applies once to all of it, giving a midpoint of $8,742.
  • The one thing the visitor has to do themselves. There is no length-by-width box, because no rule in the engine multiplies one answer by another. So the square footage is asked for as a single number and its help text does the teaching: three reference figures to check against, add awkward shapes up in rectangles, and we wheel it ourselves when we measure. Enter 4000 instead and the widget refuses that step rather than clamping it: “Please check: How many square feet are we pouring? (between 80 and 2500 sq ft).”
  • What the engine does and does not do here. Three answers multiply: the area, the square feet of old slab coming out, and (on the repair service) the number of sunken sections. Everything else is a flat adder or a percentage, and the engine adds a flat adder once per job rather than once per unit — so the $450 tear-out charge and the $650 pump are priced for the job. Each question says so in its own help text instead of implying otherwise, and on the pump that is exactly right: a line pump is hired once however many yards go through it.
  • Answering 0 costs nothing. No rule fires on a number question when the answer is 0 or less, which is why the “how many square feet of old slab comes out” question can sit there at 0 on a fresh pour and add nothing at all. Same for the sunken sections on the repair service.
  • A stamped patio, for contrast. 400 sq ft, 4 inches, stamped and colored, mesh Yes, new crushed stone base, no tear-out, pump Yes (it is behind the house), ZIP 22030: $6,147 – $7,216. The pooled percentage is +61% here, and it lands on $16.70 a square foot against the $14.57 of the driveway above — which is the spread this trade really has between a broom finish and a day of handwork with mats.
  • The season, and it is a discount. Repeat the priced path with --date=2026-12-15: $7,560 – $8,875. The Winter booking, poured in spring range runs November 15 to March 15, which wraps the year end — the engine spots that because the start ordinal is higher than the end one and matches with OR instead of AND — and it is -6%, not a surcharge. Concrete cannot go into frozen ground, so the honest offer is a booking now for a pour in the spring at a lower number, and the service disclaimer says exactly that. Three other demos in the estate carry a wrap-around season: decks, painting and roofing.
  • Travel zone. Repeat the priced path with ZIP 22201 (Arlington) for the outer-ring fee: $8,121 – $9,533. Any ZIP outside the listed prefixes, whether 21701 (Frederick, MD) or 75001 (Texas), falls to the catch-all zone: $8,606 – $10,102 — the percentage first and then the flat fee, so the $175 trip charge is exactly that and is never inflated by the zone’s own 5%.
  • Out of area. Use ZIP 99901. The visitor gets a polite decline instead of a price, and the lead is still captured.
  • Over the ceiling. Enter 1200 sq ft, 6 inches, stamped and colored, reinforced, excavate and haul the dirt away, old slab out Yes at 1200 sq ft, pump Yes. The midpoint works out at $28,743, clearing the service’s $20,000 ceiling, so the widget routes to “bigger than we can price online” rather than printing a number.
  • Minimum floor. 80 sq ft, 4 inches, broom, no reinforcement, reuse the base, no tear-out, no pump, ZIP 22030: the job works out at $700, under the $1,750 minimum, and quotes at $1,750 – $1,890. Note the low end of the band is the floor itself, not 8% below it.
  • A rule that raises the floor. Answer Yes to “does the new concrete meet the street or a public sidewalk” on that same small job: the slab is still $700 of concrete, but the rule lifts the minimum to $3,500 and the quote comes back $3,500 – $3,780. An apron in the county right of way means a permit, a bond and an inspection before the pour, and that paperwork does not get cheaper on a small slab. This is the engine’s fifth rule kind, and this fixture is the one that uses all five.
  • The second instant service, and the one with a real trip charge. Pick Concrete sealing, crack and joint repair: 400 sq ft, a driveway, no cracks worth doing, 0 sunken sections, wash and etch Yes. $749 – $915, and the $145 trip charge is inside that number rather than added at the door — it is the service’s base fee, so it is added once whatever else is or is not on the list. Ask for the cracks too (Plenty — 20 to 60 feet) and one sunken section lifted and it comes back $1,556 – $1,902. The cheapest answer set possible — 40 sq ft, nothing wrong, no wash — works out at $201 and floors at the service minimum: $450 – $495. Push it the other way — 2000 sq ft of stamped concrete, crazed all over, four sections to lift — and the $7,872 midpoint clears that service’s $4,500 ceiling, so it routes: past that, replacing the slab is the honest answer and the widget says so instead of quoting.
  • No season on the repair service, on purpose. Sealer needs a dry slab and two days above 50 degrees, so in January this work does not happen at a discount — it does not happen. Its disclaimer says that rather than pretending a percentage covers it.
  • Routing mode. Pick Foundations, structural slabs and commercial flatwork. That service is in site-visit mode, so it never shows a price at all; the visitor sees “we like to see it first”. Its “how many square feet” question is a number with no rule attached, which the widget still validates and still records.
  • The photo questions carry no rule. Photos never move the price — the engine skips them entirely. Nothing is uploaded either: on a demo the visitor can tick “I have photos I can send” and the lead records “Has photos to send, not uploaded”, which is the owner’s cue to ask for pictures on the call. Attaching the image itself is on the roadmap.
  • The missed-call text-back. The CallMitt page replays which of five messages a missed caller would get and why, against this business’s own 6am to 4pm window. Straight about where it stands: nothing on this platform delivers a text message yet, because there is no SMS gateway and no carrier registration, and nothing here detects a missed call on its own either — today the call is logged by hand and the reply becomes an outbox row marked queued. The rules, the hours, the quiet hours and the opt-out handling are built and running.
  • The widget’s slate grey matches this site because the account’s key carries a theme color; the same script on an agency’s client site would carry the agency’s color.
