Hello everyone,

we need to start thinking about the design of our entrance platform. It should be quite simple.
Single step, 1.8m x 1.5m (6 ft x 5 ft)
The platform will be paved, with light gray stone in the center and a dark gray border.

What rough costs can we expect for this?

I have attached a plan. The dashed area is meant to be light gray stone, and the dotted area the dark gray border.

400€ is really cheap – I didn’t expect that.

400€? Then either excluding material costs or foundation or something similar. Or the hourly rates were, for whatever reason, significantly lower than usual.

No. Granite paving costs around 90 euros per square meter (approximately 90€/m²) in our area from all landscaping contractors, and the substructure costs about 10-12 euros (around 10-12€/m²) up to 20cm (8 inches) thickness. In this respect, the square meter of our platform is about four times more expensive than comparable work. Apart from the posts around it, it’s almost the same.
