Cheapest driveway?

Setts and cobbles, tarmac, asphalt, resin systems, concrete whether it's plain, patterned or stencilled, gravels, etc.

You're probably all going to hate me for my first post!!

My husband and I are renovating our house to sell (as we are emigrating) and need to improve the driveway. It's currently a very old, cracked and worn out concrete/paving slab mix.

What's the cheapest option on a new driveway, approx 45m2?

Many thanks for your help.

Michelle.

Michelle,
I think you'll find it will be gravel. Don't forget, you'll still need a proper sub base though.

If you go to this page prices
scroll down to prices and you will get an idea of the costs involved.
If you want to tackle the job yourself this page will tell you how gravel construction .

That's fab Steve - thanks loads!

I am very tempted to tackle it myself (much to my husband's disapproval!!) and I'm even looking into a local women builders course on how to lay driveways. Wish me luck!! :;):
