Driveway Plans

Driveway Layout Tool for Concrete and Paving Contractors

Driveway quotes live and die on square footage. SiteBuildHub Draft's driveway layout tool lets you draw the drive from garage to street — including flares, aprons, and walkway tie-ins — read the true area off the shape, and hand the client a dimensioned drawing with the quote.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I calculate driveway square footage?

Yes. Draw the driveway as a polygon at true size and select it — the area shows in square feet, flares and tapers included.

Does it handle curved or flared driveways?

Yes. Use the polygon tool with a few extra points to approximate curves and flares. At quoting scale the shape and the area are what matter.

Can I show the driveway on a full site plan?

Yes. Start from the residential site plan template instead — it includes the property line and house, so the driveway sits in context.

Do I need a permit for a driveway?

Frequently yes, especially where the drive meets the public street. Requirements vary by municipality — verify locally before you start.
