Paving in New Zealand ranges from NZ$10/m² for basic paving sealing to NZ$220/m² for premium natural stone paving. Prices per m² include GST. Standard residential paving including base preparation and compaction. Excavation and retaining walls charged separately.
The most common types in New Zealand 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 suit most New Zealand conditions. Natural stone (schist, basalt) is popular for premium projects. In earthquake-prone areas, individual pavers on sand beds perform better than rigid concrete slabs.
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.
