Straight ranges for Upstate homeowners — and what actually drives the number.
| Driveway type | Typical Upstate range |
|---|---|
| Standard broom finish | $6 – $10 / sq ft |
| Exposed aggregate | $8 – $14 / sq ft |
| Stamped / decorative | $12 – $20 / sq ft |
A typical two-car driveway (about 600 sq ft) runs roughly $3,600–$6,000 for a standard finish. Bigger, decorative, or tricky-access jobs cost more.
Cheap bids often skip base prep, thickness, or reinforcement — the things that make a driveway last. Ask every contractor about sub-base compaction, thickness, and control joints, not just the total. We give you a clear written estimate that spells it out.
