Driveways
A new driveway can add instant kerb appeal to your home – but how much will it cost? Read our cost guides to find out how much you’ll need to budget.
Whether you fancy an on-trend resin driveway or a classic block-paved one, you’ll need to know how much each type costs so you can make an informed decision. Our range of cost guides help you understand how much each type of driveway will cost to build, plus any extras such as gates or landscaping around your driveway.
Budget driveway cost
If you’re on a tight budget, a gravel driveway is a great idea. A small gravel driveway costs around £1,800 on average. A driveway specialist will dig out the area, add a weed-proof membrane or layer, then add gravel on top. Gravel driveways are ideal for home security too, as the noise the gravel makes underfoot will deter unwelcome visitors.
Luxury driveway cost
If you want a premium-looking driveway that really shows off your home, you could spend thousands – if you have the budget! A large block-paved driveway of around 50 square metres could cost as much as £6,500, and if you want driveway gates too these come in at an average of £1,650. Driveway lighting could set you back another £500.
If you want a luxurious look that makes your home the best in the street, it can pay to use premium materials such as block paving and resin to increase the value of your home.
