Hello everyone,

We have received a quote for paving our terrace and the pathway around the house, as well as leveling the ground on the property.
It includes:
- Delivery, installation, and compaction of 30m3 (39 cubic yards) of fill sand
- 55 m2 (592 square feet) of sand base layer, topped with a fine base of crushed sand and gravel
- 20 m2 (215 square feet) of simple rectangular concrete pavers (for the pathway around the house)
- 35 m2 (377 square feet) of basalt antique concrete pavers (a bit more decorative) for the terrace
- Installation of 40m (131 feet) of lawn edging stones
- 5 hours of excavator / wheel loader work for distributing and leveling the ground on the property

The terrace will be rectangular with one rounded side. I will attach a photo.
The total quote is around 5700€ including VAT.

Does this seem reasonable or too expensive?

That's good.
Is cutting stones and curbs included? That can get expensive quickly with curves...

Is that okay / too much?
In my assessment and experience, that is reasonably priced, I think it's great. Your price gives me hope that we might also be able to have the outdoor area professionally done and not have to take on heavy work ourselves.
