How does the price structure of tiling a garden look?
What choices determine the price of tiling the garden?
When you start tiling your garden, certain choices affect the total price. These include the type of tile and patterns. These are your main choices:
Choice 1: Type of garden tile
When buying garden tiles, you have a range of types of garden tiles to choose from, all of which have their own price tag. See below how much different types of garden tiles cost and what their main characteristics are.

Choice 2: Laying borders garden tiles
In most cases, a tile is square or rectangular. These types of garden tiles are easy to lay because you don’t have to think about a pattern and the garden tiles fit together well.

The more difficult the pattern is in terms of colours and shapes, the more a paver will charge per hour or m².
