If you're getting quotes for brick paving in Melbourne, you've probably seen prices that vary widely — anywhere from $60 to $200 per square metre. This guide breaks down exactly what drives the cost so you can assess quotes properly and avoid surprises.
| Material | Price Range (installed) |
|---|---|
| Concrete pavers | $85–$120/m² |
| Clay brick paving | $95–$150/m² |
| Bluestone paving | $120–$215/m² |
| Recycled brick | $90–$155/m² |
A legitimate all-in price should include: excavation to the required depth (typically 150–200mm for a driveway), compacted road base, edge restraints, sand bedding, the pavers themselves, jointing sand or grout, and clean-up. If a quote doesn't include all these items, it's not a fair comparison.
For a standard 20m² brick driveway replacement in Melbourne's south-east (clay brick, herringbone pattern, with demolition of old concrete):
The best approach is to get 2–3 written quotes from local contractors who physically visit the site. Any quote given over the phone or without a site visit should be treated as a rough estimate only — site conditions vary significantly. Ask each contractor to itemise their quote so you can compare like-for-like.
