What changes the price on your job
The ranges above are the starting point. These five factors move a quote up or down within, and sometimes outside, those bands.
- Paver choice, concrete cheapest, clay brick mid, limestone premium.
- Coastal exposure, salt-safe joints, sealing and geotextile add cost near the beach.
- Base condition, soft sand or reactive clay needs deeper base or separation layer.
- Cutting and pattern, pool surrounds, diagonal herringbone and curves take more labour.
- Retaining and slope, an engineered wall on a sloping block is a separate, permitted line.
Red flags, what to watch for in paving quotes
If a quote you have received contains one of these, ask before you sign. Read the full guide on how to choose a paving contractor.
- A paver-only rate with the base priced separately, or not mentioned at all.
- No edge restraint in the scope, the number-one cause of creeping, spreading paving.
- Loose washed jointing sand on a coastal job, it will blow out in a season.
- A retaining wall over 500mm with no engineer’s design or permit.
- A deposit far above the going rate, or cash-only with no tax invoice.
