Arlington Driveway Costs
A concrete driveway replacement in Arlington TX costs $2,500-$8,000 for a standard 2-car driveway in 2026. Standard broom finish: $6-$10/sqft. Stamped concrete (stone or brick pattern): $10-$18/sqft. Exposed aggregate: $8-$14/sqft. A typical 500 sqft driveway runs $3,000-$5,000 in standard finish and $5,000-$9,000 in stamped concrete.
Why Arlington Driveways Crack
Arlington sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. This constant movement is the primary cause of driveway cracking in the area. Proper base preparation (4-6 inches of compacted gravel), steel rebar reinforcement, and control joints every 8-10 feet are essential for a driveway that resists cracking in Arlington soil conditions.
Repair vs Replace
Minor surface cracks can be filled for $200-$500. Section replacement (removing and replacing one or two damaged panels) costs $500-$1,500 per section. Mudjacking (leveling settled slabs) runs $500-$1,500. Full replacement makes sense when cracking is extensive, settling is severe, or the driveway is older than 25 years.
Stamped Concrete: Worth the Upgrade?
Stamped concrete costs 40-60% more than standard finish but creates a dramatically more attractive driveway. Popular patterns in Arlington include Ashlar Slate, Running Bond Brick, and Italian Slate. Stamped concrete is sealed with a clear or tinted sealer that enhances color and provides a semi-gloss finish. Resealing every 2-3 years maintains the appearance.
