What’s involved

Material options

Concrete pavers — the volume material in Adelaide. $70–$95 per square metre installed. Comes in dozens of finishes; the difference between cheap and good is usually 50mm vs 40mm thickness and proper bedding.

What pricing depends on

Pricing depends on access (wheelbarrow vs truck-tipper), ground conditions, area shape (curves cost more than rectangles), edge details (kerbs, stairs), and material. Your quote will itemise these.

Common mistakes to avoid

Skipping compaction. Using sand bedding without crushed-rock subbase. No edge restraint. No cross-fall for drainage. Picking pavers by photo without a sample.

Frequently asked

How much does paving cost per square metre in Adelaide?

Concrete pavers run $70–$95 per square metre supplied and laid; natural stone (bluestone, travertine) runs $120–$220. Driveway-grade pavers and complex shapes cost more.

How long does paving last?

Properly installed paving — compacted base, edge restraint, cross-fall — lasts 25-40 years. Cheap installs fail in 5-8.

Can I pave over existing concrete?

Sometimes. The concrete needs to be sound, level, and have appropriate falls. Often cheaper to lift and replace.
