Extra costs & minimum job

Pricing Factors

What Affects the Price?

Understanding these four factors helps explain why every quote is different — and why a site visit matters.

🚧 Site Access

Narrow side gates or restricted access adds 10–20% due to manual wheelbarrow work. Easy vehicle access keeps costs down.

🔨 Demolition

Removing old concrete adds $30–$60/m². Removing asphalt or existing pavers adds $20–$45/m². Always included in your written quote.

⛰️ Ground Conditions

Sloped blocks, tree roots, or reactive clay soil may require additional preparation. We assess and include this in the quote.

🧱 Material Choice

Clay bricks cost more than concrete pavers. Bluestone and porcelain cost more than brick. We'll help you choose the right material for your budget.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about paving costs in Melbourne.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Every job comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty, written into your quote.

Is there a minimum job size?

Yes — our minimum job is $1,000 including GST. Small repairs under that are usually combined with other work.

How do I get an accurate quote?

The only way to get an accurate price is a free site visit. Phone quotes are rough estimates only — site conditions, access and ground preparation requirements vary significantly between properties. We come to you, assess everything, and provide a written fixed-price quote.

Do prices include GST?

The guide prices on this site include GST. Your written quote shows the GST amount, and we provide a proper tax invoice on completion of every job.

Do you require a deposit?

We typically require a materials deposit (30–50% of total) before ordering materials for larger jobs. The balance is due on completion. Payment terms are always clearly stated in the written quote.
