ᐅ How much did the paving work cost for you?

Hello,

we just received a quote from the landscaping contractor for paving work and find it quite expensive. The base is already prepared at the correct height, with crushed stone laid and compacted. So, only the bedding layer (grit), the paving stones, and the installation work remain.

They want 90 euros per square meter (without the concrete paving stones), plus edging stones for 45 euros per linear meter (including the edging stones) and cutting work for 21 euros per linear meter. Is this pricing currently normal? Or could it possibly be cheaper (Rhine-Main area)?

Best regards,
Sabine

Ok, where you had the curb, the workers poured a kind of shoulder support made of screed concrete. It holds.

I also don’t have any curbs.
Only the eaves edge.
However, it is standard practice to install curbs.

Paved walkway made of gray paving stones next to a brick wall; gravel strip at the base.

It is also possible to do without curbstones if the side paving stones are set in concrete or have a backing support.

We are using a granite curb. This matches well with our granite posts, which accommodate the height difference to the adjacent public pathway.
