What concrete, pavers and turf cost in Florida

Florida price ranges for every service we offer

The table below lists the installed market range for each service as of October 2026, compiled from Angi's Orlando and Tampa city pages, HomeGuide's national guides and published Florida contractor pricing. Each service name links to its own cost guide with worked examples, size tables and the site conditions that push a bid toward the top or the bottom of the range.

What does a new driveway cost by size?

Standard driveway sizes come from HomeGuide and Angi: a one-car driveway is about 200 to 288 square feet, a two-car 400 to 576 and a three-car 864 to 900 (HomeGuide). Multiplying by the market ranges gives the spread below. Angi's Orlando page puts the average concrete driveway project at $6,490, inside the two-car band (Angi Orlando, May 2026).

Arithmetic on the published ranges. Removing an old driveway typically adds $3–$8 per sq ft nationally and $5–$8 in Angi's Orlando data.

For the full breakdown, see the concrete driveway cost guide and the paver driveway cost guide.

Quick calculator

Pick a project, enter the size, and the calculator multiplies it by the typical middle of the Florida range. For concrete it also estimates the volume in cubic yards. It's a planning number, not a quote.

What moves the price up or down?

Per-square-foot ranges hide the things that actually change a bid. These are the line items that most often separate a low quote from a high one:

Ranges from HomeGuide, Angi and published Florida sources listed on this page.

Ready-mix concrete itself is a small share of the price: Angi lists $120 to $170 per cubic yard for all-purpose concrete in Orlando, and a 400-square-foot, 4-inch driveway needs about 5 yards (Angi Orlando). Labor, base work, forming, finishing, the pump or buggy if the truck can't reach, and the cleanup make up most of the rest, which is why a crew's method shows up in the price more than the concrete does.

Pool deck options compared by cost

Pool decks have the widest spread of any project because the choices run from a coating on the old slab to a full travertine rebuild. National and Central Florida data line up like this (HomeGuide pool deck, Central Florida resurfacing data):

Ranges from HomeGuide (Dec 2025 and Apr 2026) and a Central Florida pool-deck guide (Jul 2026); removal of an old deck adds about $5 per sq ft.

The pool deck cost guide works through an 800 and a 1,200 square-foot deck for each option.

Repair and upkeep costs

Not every budget conversation is about something new. These are the common repair and maintenance jobs and what published data says they cost:

See concrete repair costs and paver sealing costs for detail, or resurface vs. replace for the decision itself.

Patios: concrete, stamped or pavers?

For a 20 × 20 ft patio (400 sq ft), the market ranges work out to roughly $2,400–$5,200 for broom-finish concrete, $3,200–$7,600 for stamped concrete and $4,000–$6,800 for concrete pavers. Concrete is the budget choice; stamped concrete buys a pattern for less than pavers but needs resealing and can't be spot-repaired invisibly; pavers cost the most up front and are the easiest to repair or extend later. The concrete patio, stamped concrete and paver patio guides cover each in detail.

Artificial turf vs. sod over time

Turf costs far more on day one: $10–$25 per square foot installed against a dollar or two for sod. The return comes from water, mowing and replacement sod over the following years, and in 2026 that math changed for many homeowners because Sarasota, Manatee and Lake counties spent the year under emergency once-a-week watering orders. The artificial turf cost guide and turf vs. sod comparison run the numbers.

Is pricing different in Orlando and Sarasota?

Published data shows the two metros close together. Angi's 2026 pages put the average concrete driveway at $6,490 in Orlando and $6,458 in Tampa, the nearest metro Angi publishes for the Sarasota side; its Tampa page cites $8 to $20 per square foot against $5 to $21 in Orlando. We don't price by ZIP code. What changes between a Lakewood Ranch driveway and a Kissimmee one is the soil, the HOA's material rules and the permit desk, not the rate (Angi Tampa).

Budgeting a bigger outdoor project

Driveway, pool deck, patio and turf rarely get built in the same year, and they don't have to. The order matters more than the timing: anything that needs heavy equipment or a concrete truck to cross the yard goes first, then the hardscape closest to the house, then turf and planting last so nothing drives over finished work. A paver patio can be laid with a border that a later extension ties into without a visible seam, and a driveway can be poured with a sleeve under it for future irrigation or lighting wire, which costs little now and saves cutting concrete later. The guide to budgeting a backyard project in phases lays out a three-year plan, and whether a new driveway adds home value covers resale.
