What sources say
| Source | Per square foot | Total reference |
|---|---|---|
| HomeGuide | $7 – $17 installed | $1,400 – $3,400 for 200 sq ft |
| Angi | about $10 installed | average $2,000, range $1,200 – $3,200 for 200 sq ft |
| Homewyse | $12.00 – $14.71 | 129 sq ft reference project |
| Concrete Network | $6 – $12 typical | higher with grading or decorative finishes |
| LawnStarter | $5.89 – $12, average $8.63 | site prep not included |
These five sources publish genuinely different per-foot bands. The spread comes from finish assumptions: HomeGuide includes decorative tiers, Homewyse prices a broom-finish slab with fibermesh, and the LawnStarter figure excludes site preparation. A plain broom-finish sidewalk lands in the $6 to $12 band printed by Concrete Network and LawnStarter; Angi prices standard flat work at $8 to $12 per square foot.1,2,3,4,5
Cost by size (HomeGuide)
| Size | Cost installed |
|---|---|
| 50 sq ft | $350 – $850 |
| 100 sq ft | $700 – $1,700 |

| 400 sq ft | $2,800 – $6,800 |
HomeGuide notes per-foot prices run slightly higher under 200 square feet because of minimum concrete delivery fees, and a 4-foot-wide sidewalk works out to $28 to $68 per linear foot.1

DIY or hire
The realistic DIY piece is demolition: a 200-square-foot pour is about 2.5 cubic yards of concrete, which is ready-mix truck territory, not weekend bag work.2 Concrete Network suggests doing the demo yourself and hiring out the pour, since demo adds $5 to $8 per square foot when a crew does it.4 For small sections, the Home Depot concrete mix category shows current bag pricing.
