Common driveway expansion projects
Most expansions solve a parking or access problem.
- Widening a single-car driveway to fit two cars side by side
- Adding a parking pad for an RV, boat, or extra car
- Adding a turnaround so you don't back out onto a busy street
- Extending the driveway to a side gate, garage, or ADU
Expand the old concrete or replace it?
Pavers rarely match an old concrete driveway well. Many homeowners either add a contrasting paver border or ribbon that ties the old and new areas together, or remove the old concrete so the whole driveway is one paver surface. We show both options in a free 3D rendering before you decide.
Permits, curb cuts, and setbacks
Widening the driveway on your own lot is often straightforward, but a wider curb cut, work in the public right-of-way, or HOA rules usually require approval. We check the requirements for your city during the estimate.
Drainage on a bigger driveway
More paved area means more runoff. We set finished slopes away from the house and add channel drains or permeable pavers where needed — see paver drainage planning.
What a driveway expansion costs
Installed pavers average about $18 per square foot and reach about $35 on complex work. Demolition of existing concrete, grading, and drains are included in the quote line by line.
