Why we publish numbers
Most concrete companies will not put a price on a website. We do, because the alternative wastes everyone’s time: you sit through three appointments to find out the job costs twice your budget, and we drive to three estimates that were never going to close.
The ranges below are what work actually costs in Marysville, Everett, Arlington and the rest of Snohomish County at 2026 material and labor rates. They are wide on purpose — a 600 square foot driveway on firm ground with truck access is a very different job from the same driveway on wet fill behind a narrow gate.
| Work | Unit | Typical range | What that includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broom-finished flatwork (patios, walkways, slabs) | per sq ft | $9 – $15 | 4″ slab, compacted base, fiber or mesh |
| Concrete driveway, standard | per sq ft | $10 – $17 | 4″ slab, rebar grid, saw-cut joints |
| Driveway / pad, heavy duty | per sq ft | $14 – $22 | 5–6″ slab for RVs, trailers, work trucks |
| Stamped or decorative concrete | per sq ft | $17 – $26 | pattern, color, release and sealer included |
| Exposed aggregate finish | add-on per sq ft | +$2 – $5 | over a broom finish |
| Integral color | add-on per sq ft | +$1.50 – $3 | color mixed through the slab |
| Stain or dye on existing concrete | per sq ft | $5 – $10 | sound slab only, includes sealer |
| Sealing / resealing | per sq ft | $1.50 – $3 | breathable sealer, decorative work |
| Tear-out & haul-off of old concrete | per sq ft | $4 – $8 | includes loading and recycling fees |
| Extra base rock, fill or fabric | per sq ft | $3 – $6 | soft or wet subgrade |
| Poured steps | per step | $400 – $800 | with footing; landing priced separately |
| City sidewalk panel replacement | per panel | $600 – $1,200 | to municipal spec, permit extra |
| Footings & stem walls | per linear ft | $45 – $90 | formed, rebar per plan, ready for inspection |
| Poured retaining wall (up to 4 ft) | per sq ft of face | $55 – $110 | with drain rock and drain line |
| Concrete pump (tight access) | per pour | $800 – $1,600 | when a truck cannot reach the forms |
| Minimum job charge | — | $1,800 – $2,500 | crew, truck and short-load fees on small work |
Ranges are for planning, not a quote. Your price depends on access, base condition, demolition, thickness and finish — we confirm it in writing after a site visit. Prices shown are 2026 rates for Snohomish County and are reviewed each season.
Prices by service
Each page has its own breakdown and typical project totals.
What moves your number
What pushes the price up
- Demolition and haul-off of what is there now
- Soft, wet or organic subgrade that needs extra rock or fabric
- No truck access — the pour has to be pumped or wheelbarrowed
- Thicker slab and heavier steel for RVs, trailers or shop traffic
- Stamping, color, banding and sealer
- Permits, engineering or work in the public right-of-way
What brings it down
- Pouring over a base that is already sound and draining
- Simple rectangles with straight forms and few radius cuts
- Combining several small pours into one mobilization
- Standard 4″ slab where nothing heavier is needed
- Broom finish instead of stamped
- Flexible scheduling — midweek and shoulder-season dates
Questions about price
How our estimates are written
Every estimate we hand out is itemized on one page: square footage, slab thickness, base depth, reinforcement type, finish, sealer, demolition and haul-off, permits if any, and the start window. Nothing is bundled into a single mystery number.
That matters when you are comparing bids. Three quotes for “a new driveway” can differ by 40% simply because one contractor priced a 4″ slab with fiber over 2″ of rock and another priced 5″ with rebar over 6″ of compacted base. Same words, different job, very different lifespan.
Payment is straightforward: no deposit for small work, a materials deposit on larger jobs, and the balance when the work is finished and you have walked it with us. Washington law caps what a contractor can ask for up front and requires that we are registered with L&I — ask any bidder for that number.
