Default Printed concrete..........

Anyone know how much approximately it is per metre to have done, obviously i know all jobs are different but even a rough guide for the average drive, break out old concrete and relay new stuff sort of thing.

I can see peoples gripe with normal block paving, as lets face it nowadays it looks shit, especially with so many roads on new estates having it, but the cobble type paving like plaspave sorrento when done right looks spot on and better than any pressed concrete. I think pressed looks tacky as fook.

Depends on whats down already mate, and what edgings are going in etc etc but on avergare we charge £55 per meter inc VAT. Thats to dig out with JCB to solid, stone up and compact then lay drive.
My mate has most of our block pave pics as thats his dept, but theres some on these pics:





there was over 200 meters went down on that house.
