Hi guys, thinking about getting our driveway re-done, basically replacing
tatty concrete with cobble type blocks, approx 35sqm

Before I get too carried away can someone give me a ball park figure for

how

much I should expect to pay for this (I'm in Surrey) Know this is not
strictly DIY but haven't gpot the time to do a proper job myself

Thanks

Jim

In North Hampshire the going rate seems to be from £30 per square metre.


You should be careful as to what is included in that price. I laid a bit
of stne yesterday, and working to a nice easy rate, teh materials alone
ae about that. Then there is labour on laying, plus of course substrate
preparation for a drive - no use slapping down bricks with anything less
than 4-6" of limestone if you want to back a 12 tonner into it etc.
