Draw the driveway plan
The driveway template loads a garage, a tapered driveway polygon, and the street edge. Adjust the polygon to your measured widths — a straight ribbon drive is a rectangle; a flared entry or turnaround is a few extra polygon points.
Dimension the width at the garage, the width at the street, and the length. Add labels for the apron, control joints, or paver borders.
- Driveway outline with true widths and length
- Garage and street edge for context
- Flares, aprons, and turnarounds as polygons
- Square footage read from the shape
- Joint, border, and finish notes
Square footage without guesswork
Select the driveway shape and the area displays in square feet — including the flares that back-of-envelope width-times-length math always misses. That's your concrete volume or paver count starting point, and it's documented on a drawing rather than buried in a notebook.
For replacement jobs, draw the existing drive first, then duplicate and modify for the proposed layout. Two drawings make the scope unmistakable.
Before you pour
Driveway work often has municipal rules — apron standards, right-of-way permits, setbacks from property lines. Check local requirements, and always arrange utility locates before excavation or grading. SiteBuildHub's drawing is your planning and quoting tool, not a permit guarantee or a locate service.
