At Wiltshire Driveway Services we pride ourselves on offering outstanding VFM solutions for our clients. Many clients inquire about pricing. Every job varies based on access, materials and difficulty. However, we can offer some general price points based on the industry in the UK.
In addition to quizzing our teams vast experience in the industry, we’ve aggregated data from various consumer websites, including HomeAdviceGuide.com, to bring you this rough price guide.
Block paving is the most variable price point we’ll discuss here. As you may know, there are different brands available including Marshalls, Bradstone and Tobermore or just basic brick options. Further, costs will rise significantly if you require excavation. We estimate a typical 50m2 paved driveway will vary between £3000 to £5000. Our block paving page features different options.
If you’re looking for a more affordable option, tarmac may be for you. Tarmac, or asphalt as our American cousin’s know it, is a durable all purpose material, suited to drives, paths and roads. While costs will vary depending on the amount of excavation required, a 50m2 tarmac driveway will cost in the region of £3000.
Many clients inquire about concrete. Popular and arguably the most durable material, a concrete drive can last up to 40 years if adequately installed. Concrete is versatile, available in a range of colours and pattern stamped designs. A standard 50m2 concrete driveway will cost between £1500 to £2500.
Gravel is the cheapest driveway option. A 50m2 driveway will cost you up to £1000-£1500. But what are the downsides? While price is the biggest selling point of this material, maintenance and lack of weather tolerance are issues you’ll need to contend with. Winter, in particular, can be challenging for homeowners.
As ever, be wary of contractors who offer you cheap prices. These prices may be based on a contractor who is taking short cuts or using poor materials. A good driveway should endure for a generation.
