Existing Concrete Tear-Out & Tonnage
Breaking up and hauling away a 650 sq ft cracked builder slab generates 7 to 10 tons of debris. Thick slabs or entangled live-oak roots sit near the upper $4.00/sq ft end of demo rates.

What Moves Myrtle Beach Driveway Pricing Up or Down?
4" Stone Upgrades & Permeable Reservoirs
Interlocking pavers stack #57 stone, ABC road base, and M10 granite screenings. For concrete or Spray Deck on heavy RV or mixed-clay lots, adding a 4" compacted #57/ABC stone base runs +$3.00–$5.00/sq ft.
Culverts, Apron Width & ARB Packets
Street-side ditch driveways in Conway and rural Horry County often need reinforced RCP culvert extensions, while gated Carolina Forest communities require scaled architectural HOA/ARB submissions.
CALCULATOR & PRICING FAQS
Common Questions About Coastal Driveway Estimates
Detailed answers covering 2026 Grand Strand installed unit pricing, cracked concrete demolition and haul-off rates, coastal lot-coverage limits, compacted stone sub-base upgrade options, physical sample boards, and locking your online budget for an in-person Myrtle Beach laser site measure.
For a standard 650 sq ft 2-car coastal driveway on fresh grade, 4,000 PSI steel-grid concrete averages $11,700 to $13,000 (or $13,650 to $16,250 with our optional 4-inch compacted #57/ABC stone sub-base upgrade), interlocking concrete pavers and heat-reflective Spray Deck finish both run $15,600 to $18,200, and permeable PICP ranges from $19,500 to $23,400. All projects require a 250 sq ft minimum installation ($4,500 minimum mobilization).
Demolishing and hauling away an existing cracked concrete slab adds $2.50 to $4.00 per sq ft depending on slab thickness, embedded steel wire mesh reinforcement, shallow tree-root entanglement, and heavy dump-truck street access in Horry or Georgetown County. Saw-cutting joints cleanly protects garage aprons, adjacent HOA curbs, underground sprinkler heads, and utility lines prior to subgrade re-grading.
Permeable PICP requires deeper 10 to 12 inch trench excavation, double-washed open-graded #89 bedding chip, #57 choker stone, and #2 angular granite detention reservoirs, non-woven geotextile separation fabric, concrete edge restraints, and field infiltration verification testing. That structural detention stone base allows coastal homeowners in Surfside Beach, North Myrtle Beach, and Pawleys Island to expand parking without exceeding 40% to 50% municipal impervious caps.
Standard 4,000 PSI steel-grid concrete and Spray Deck slabs pour cleanly over laser-graded compacted coastal sand ($18–$20/sq ft or $24–$28/sq ft), while adding a 4-inch compacted #57 crushed stone and ABC road-base cushion (+$3.00 to $5.00 per sq ft) reinforces mixed-clay lots and heavy boat/RV parking. Interlocking pavers and permeable PICP already include full multi-lift crushed stone and granite screenings bases.
