Quick answer: Driveway replacement costs $5–$30 per square foot in Los Angeles depending on material — asphalt is the most affordable, paver driveways are the most expensive. APLA Construction (CA Lic #1136359) handles this throughout Greater Los Angeles.
A cracked, sinking, or stained driveway hurts curb appeal and can be a trip hazard. Replacing it refreshes your home exterior and adds lasting value. Whether you have a concrete driveway in Torrance, a paver drive in Pasadena, or need a full re-pour in the Valley, quality work matters. APLA Construction is a licensed LA general contractor (CA Lic #1136359) that installs and replaces driveways across the LA area.
Driveway replacement in Los Angeles typically costs between $6,000 and $25,000, depending on size, material, and site prep. A 2026 guide:
| Item | Typical Cost |
| Standard concrete driveway | $8 to $15 per sq ft, or $6,000 to $15,000 for a typical drive. |
| Stamped or colored concrete | $12 to $20 per sq ft. |
| Paver driveway | $15 to $30 per sq ft. |
| Asphalt driveway | $5 to $10 per sq ft. |
Cost drivers include removing and hauling the old driveway, grading and base preparation, drainage, reinforcement, decorative finishes, and the size and slope of the drive.
Demolition and disposal of the old surface, proper base and compaction, and drainage all affect cost and longevity. Decorative options like stamped concrete or pavers cost more but boost curb appeal. Hillside or sloped driveways in areas like Silver Lake may need extra reinforcement.
A new driveway is one of the most visible upgrades to a home exterior. We pour durable, properly reinforced concrete and install pavers that hold up to LA sun and daily use, coordinating with any landscape work for a cohesive front yard.
Replacing an existing driveway in the same footprint often does not require a permit, but expanding it or altering the curb or approach usually does. APLA confirms and handles permits.
Concrete is the most popular and durable for LA driveways, lasting 25 to 30 years with proper installation. Pavers offer premium looks and easy repair.
Most driveways take 3 to 7 days including demolition, pouring, and cure time. Concrete needs several days to fully cure before heavy use.
