A driveway that lasts here starts with a compacted gravel base, proper thickness (often 4 to 6 inches for cars, more for heavy vehicles), reinforcement, and control joints spaced to manage cracking. Air-entrained concrete, which resists freeze-thaw damage, is standard practice in cold climates. Ask your contractor about it.
In the City of Rockford, building or rebuilding a driveway on a 1- or 2-family property requires a driveway permit, and the apron runs from the street to your property line under city design rules. Nearby villages have their own rules, so ask your contractor to confirm.
Wait until the concrete has cured before driving on it, and avoid de-icing salt on new concrete during its first winter. Your contractor can tell you how long to wait and which products are safer.
What does it cost?
Angi's 2026 data puts the average concrete driveway at $6,400, usually $8 to $20 per square foot. A 20-by-20 driveway runs about $3,200 to $6,000. Tear-out of old concrete adds cost.
Costs are national figures or labeled estimates. Your price depends on your property; always get a written quote. See sources.
