What affects driveway cost?
Driveway cost depends on surface area, material, excavation, ground conditions, drainage, edging and the amount of old surface that must be removed.
Material choices
Block paving, tarmac, resin and concrete have different preparation and maintenance requirements. Ask contractors to specify the exact build-up and finish in the quote.
Drainage and preparation
Poor ground or drainage can add substantial preparation work. A good quote should explain excavation, sub-base, drainage and waste removal rather than only listing the final surface.
