Paving in Australia ranges from $8/m² for basic paving sealing to $200/m² for premium natural stone paving. Prices per m² include GST. Standard residential paving including base preparation and compaction. Complex patterns, excavation and retaining walls charged separately.
The most common types in Australia are concrete paving, brick paving, natural stone paving, porcelain paving, exposed aggregate, and stamped concrete. Each has different cost, durability, and aesthetic characteristics.
Concrete and brick pavers handle Australian conditions well. Natural stone (bluestone, granite) is the most durable option for high-traffic areas. Exposed aggregate is popular for driveways. In hot climates, choose lighter colours to reduce heat absorption. Always select slip-rated materials for pool surrounds.
Quality concrete pavers on a well-prepared base last 25-30+ years. Clay brick pavers can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. Natural stone is the most durable, potentially lasting a lifetime. Stamped and exposed aggregate concrete typically lasts 15-25 years before resurfacing is needed. Regular sealing and proper drainage extend the lifespan of all paving types.
