How much does a concrete driveway cost in Myrtle Beach?
Most people want a number before they call anyone. Here's what published national data says a concrete driveway costs in 2026, what that looks like for common sizes, and the things that push a Grand Strand driveway to the low or high end.
The short answer
National cost guides put a new concrete driveway at roughly $8 to $20 per square foot installed in 2026, according to Angi and NerdWallet. LawnStarter's range is a little lower, at $6 to $16. Angi puts the average project at around $6,400.
Stamped and decorative finishes cost more. Thumbtack estimates stamping adds roughly $12 to $18 per square foot on top of a plain driveway, and Angi says plain concrete runs about half the price of a high-end stamped finish.

What common sizes work out to
Using that $8 to $20 national range:
- 12 x 20 ft (240 sq ft, a single-car pad): about $1,900 to $4,800
- 20 x 20 ft (400 sq ft, a two-car driveway): about $3,200 to $8,000
- 20 x 40 ft (800 sq ft, a long two-car driveway): about $6,400 to $16,000
Plain broom finish lands toward the low end. Tear-out, a long or curved driveway, heavy reinforcement or a stamped finish move it up.
What moves the price on the Grand Strand
Tear-out and haul-away. Replacing a driveway means breaking up and hauling away the old one first. That's labor and disposal a brand-new driveway doesn't have.
The base. Most failed driveways failed underneath. Soft, washed-out or low spots have to be dug out and rebuilt before new concrete goes down. It's the part you never see, and the part that decides how long the driveway lasts.
Size and shape. Price per square foot usually drops as size goes up. Curves, circles and turnarounds take more forming time than a straight rectangle.
What will park on it. Boats, RVs and work trucks call for more reinforcement than a couple of cars.
Finish. Broom finish is the baseline. Color, stamped patterns and borders add material and labor.
The apron and permits. The section at the street often sits on public right-of-way and needs approval from the road owner. See our concrete permit guide.
Access and scheduling. Tight lots, long hauls from the truck, or working around rental bookings can add time.
How to compare quotes fairly
Two quotes can be thousands apart because they're for different jobs. Ask each contractor the same things: Does the price include tear-out and haul-away? What base prep is included? What reinforcement? Who pulls the permit and handles the apron? How many control joints, and where? What finish? When can I drive on it?
A low number that leaves out the base work usually costs more later. For more questions to ask, see questions to ask before you hire a concrete contractor.
