A straight answer
What does paving or landscaping cost in Dorking?
Most contractors will tell you 'prices vary, call us'. We'd rather you walked into a quote knowing roughly where you stand. These are broad, illustrative starting-from guides for our Dorking, Brockham and wider Mole Valley area — not fixed prices, and not a quote — and every site visit and itemised quote is free.
New turf & planting
from around £1,500
Fresh turf laid on a properly prepared base, or borders set out and planted to suit your soil. The quickest way to soften and finish a garden, priced by area, access and how much ground preparation the plot needs.
Patios & paving
from around £6,000
An Indian-sandstone, natural-stone or porcelain terrace, excavated, based, bedded and laid to falls on a proper sub-base. Cost is driven mainly by the stone you choose and how much groundwork the base needs underneath — the part that decides whether it lasts.
Driveways & walling
from around £8,000
A block-paved, natural-stone or resin-bound driveway on a structural base with proper edgings and drainage, or a run of retaining or feature walling built on foundations. Priced by area, ground conditions and the surface and materials specified.
Full garden transformation
from around £20,000
Clearance, levels, drainage, retaining walls, paving, steps and planting designed and built as one scheme — really several jobs in one, usually over a couple of weeks. The widest range; we break the quote down clearly so you can see where the money goes and phase it if you'd like.
What moves the price
- The size of the area and how much of it we're changing.
- Ground conditions — levels, slope, drainage and what's underneath the surface.
- The paving or stone you choose, and any walling or steps involved.
- Access to the site for machinery and for taking spoil and waste away.
- Whether any drainage or new edgings are needed to build it to last.
- Whether you'd like turf, planting or fencing to finish the scheme.
