- Severe-storm exposure favors impact-resistant materials.

How the cost is built
Concrete driveway cost depends on square footage, slab thickness, and finish — a plain broom finish is cheapest, while stamped or colored concrete costs more. Site prep, removal of an old slab, reinforcement, and thicker pours for heavy vehicles add to the total.
