Dave F Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Looking to get my driveway done this spring has anybody any idea how much it is likely to cost for the block paving, roughly about 18-20 square metres, as I have absolutely no idea.

gaz1 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 that depends on what finish ie concrete, block paving, tarmac, also how the fall of your land goes if its towards your house drainage would be needed, is there an existing drive that would need breaking up and taking away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I know a few guys who sound Irish and drive an untaxed transit that would do it for a ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannypunto Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 i think a cheap job and i mean cheap u will look at £50 sq yard, which is dig out , hardcore and lay blocks, as strange as it seems theres 50 blocks in a sq yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I reckon about £1500 for 20 sq meters. I just paid 3k for 60 sq meters with pattern imprinted concrete! I personally would do it again as its proving difficult to maintain and my fuel leak has fooked mine.... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not sure what to go for as I will be working on the car so need something hardwearing and easy to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Mine cost me £18 a meter (did it myself ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I just did mine, dug it out about 10 inches, put a hardcore layer down and laid a concrete slab, leveled and troweled the edge. Simple, hard wearing and very cost effective. Cost about £400 to do 35sq meters. Looks quite nice too with the edging, but not as good as a paterned finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
