Now that we have determined the formula for calculating the surface area of your project, we can now look into the cost per square foot based on concrete cost in Boise. Depending on what your project is will determine the amount of concrete you will need. You also need to consider concrete PSI (pounds per square inch) that measures the compressive strength of concrete which is the main price factor. Driveways will require a higher PSI because they are required to withhold more weight than a patio or walkway. The higher the concrete PSI, the more expensive it will be per cubic yard. PSI for concrete driveways in Boise ranges from 3500-4000psi. Based on 2024 cost factors, below is the price structure of concrete psi per cubic yard:

Concrete PSI

• 3,000psi: $180
• 3,500psi: $200
• 4,000psi: $220
• 4,500psi: $240

Now comes the fun part, design! Broom finish is the most basic and commonly seen design due to its simplicity and basic appearance that matches any home aesthetic. However, if you’re interested in creating a unique look for your curb appeal, stamped concrete is the way to go. You can replicate any common material (wood, stone, brick, pavers, and more) at a lower cost while still getting the beautiful design and color. Below is a price range per square foot based on the different design options:
