Prices will vary from supplier to supplier and contractor to contractor, but this will give you a broad idea on the full cost associated to different Driveway paving options.

Main Costs

The main costs will the paving material and labour, but contractors will need to see your site before they can confirm a price as drainage, excavation and levelling base material volumes will also need to be factored in.

Driveway Size

The size of the area that needs to be covered will also need to be factored in so please make sure to measure up your own driveway as best you can to the nearest meter squared. Base preparation on some sites can be quite simple where other sites it can be very difficult, and the dimensions of the slabs and complexity of the layout pattern will be added to the overall labour time costs.
