A recent 16-by-30-foot driveway, 480 square feet at our 5.5-inch minimum, came to $5,100, or about $10.62 per square foot. Our concrete driveway cost guide shows how size, thickness and finish change that number.

Why 5.5 Inches Is Our Minimum
5.5 inches is the thinnest driveway we’ll pour. A thinner slab is more likely to crack under years of vehicle traffic, and replacing a cracked driveway can cost far more than the extra concrete would have.

Driveway Permits and Weather in Elkton
Driveway permits in Cecil County come from the county’s Permits & Inspections Division in Elkton. The application asks for a site sketch showing where the driveway goes, the property lines, the house, setbacks and any other structures, so a property survey helps.
Cecil County’s building code also rates the area’s weathering potential as severe, which is the category where exterior concrete is expected to be air-entrained to survive freeze-thaw cycles.
