Lift and re-lay block paving in Darton: the local picture
Darton is a smaller town, and many of its homes have more frontage to work with than city houses, which leaves room for borders and planting.
Sloping drives are common in parts of Yorkshire, which affects falls, steps and drainage at the bottom of the drive.
How much does a lift and re-lay job cost in Darton?
In Yorkshire and the Humber, a lift and re-lay job usually costs £30–£70 per m² including VAT. For 30 m² re-laid, that is roughly £950–£2,150. Your exact price depends on what the survey or your photos show, and is fixed in writing before anything is booked.
