Paving Prices, how much will a new driveway or patio cost?

A new driveway or patio quote will set you back a lot of money. If you choose carefully though you can get a competitive price for a long lasting surface. The paving prices will vary based on the size of the driveway or patio and chosen materials.

The most popular option for a driveway quote is block paving (pictured right). It often doesn't cost much more than asphalt (tarmac) or standard concrete flags. Block paving does cost slightly more for the materials, and the labour will be more intensive because of the many blocks to lay. A quality foundation is also needed to prevent tyre mark dips. Small drives with a complex shape might suit flagging better, and the largest of driveway might suit tarmac as it gets cheaper with size.

In the UK Indian Stone is the most popular option for patio quotes. It looks great, lasts forever and is relatively inexpensive for natural stone. Patios laid in Indian Stone have a natural and varied look which everyone seems to love. To buy paving like this often costs less than ornamental patio pavers. Prices for decorative concrete paving from brands like Bradstone and Marshalls are attractive and versatile but can cost more than natural Indian sandstone.
