Price examples
Are you planning to have your garden paved? Then you will be faced with several choices. For example, will you opt for an economical price or do you want to enjoy the most luxurious option? The price examples below will help you make this decision.
Expensive choice
The cheapest option for paving your garden is to use gravel instead of stone. Gravel costs on average £10 per m2. If you take gravel, it is also easy to lay it yourself and so you don’t have to pay for a paving contractor.
Average option
If you don’t want gravel, but a garden with tiles, and still don’t want to spend too much money, opt for a garden with paving stones. This is the cheapest type of tiles. Twin stones cost between £15 and £25 per m2. Paving costs start at £10 to £20 per m2.
Most luxurious choice
The most expensive type of stone is natural stone. Natural stone is unique in colour and texture. Prices of natural stone range between £40 and £70 per m2. The cost for a paver starts at £10 to £20 per m2.

What choices determine the price of garden paving?
If you are going to have your garden paved, the price will be determined by the choices below, among others.
Choice 1: Tiles or other material?
If you find tiles too expensive for paving your garden, you can choose other materials.
- Gravel: Gravel is the cheapest alternative to tiles. Gravel are small round pebbles made by nature and deposited by rivers. Gravel is available in different colours and costs on average £10 per m2.
- Split: Split is very similar to gravel. Where gravel is made by nature, split is forced into its shape. Split is broken and sieved by machines. As a result, split has fractures and sharper edges than gravel. Split costs on average £12 per m2.
Choice 2: Type of tile
There are different types of tiles for paving your garden. They are shown in the table below:
| The type of tile | Price per m2 | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Coupling stones | £15 – £25 | Be tumbled so that sharp edges chip off. This gives them a nostalgic and natural look. |
| Concrete paving | £ 15 – £ 35 | Very sturdy tiles that last a long time.Available in different shapes, sizes and colours. |
| Flagstones | £ 25 – £ 40 | Flat natural stones in the form of a slab or tile. Vary in shape, size, thickness and texture. |
| Flagstones | £ 30 – £ 45 | Flagstones are bricks with a fixed size of 214 x 102 x 55 mm. Are available in different colours. |
| Wood | £ 20 – £ 65 | Wood tiles require little maintenance and they cope well with temperature differences. |
| Natural stone | £ 30 – £ 65 | Natural stones have a natural and luxurious look and feel and they all have different colours and textures. |
Choice 3: Hire a paving contractor
A paving contractor ensures that tiles are laid neatly and firmly. If you have your paving laid by a skilled paver, you can be sure that the quality will be good. Besides, hiring a paver will save you a lot of time and hard work.
The cost of a paver starts at £10 to £20 per m2. Sometimes the cost is calculated by the hour. This happens, for example, when a complicated pattern has to be laid, because laying a special pattern takes more time than a simple pattern. The cost of a paver per hour is between £30 and £60.
Choice 4: Additional options
| Product | Price | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Sirakes | £7 – £35 per m2 | Enhances the appearance of the pavement. |
| Dividing bands | £ 10 – £ 30 per metre | For level differences in your garden or flower beds. |
| Insert bands | £ 2 – £ 5 per metre | The paving remains extra firmly in place. |
| Gravel plates | £ 12 – £ 16 per m2 | Plates so that the gravel remains firmly in place. |
