£1,000 to replace an area of lawn 4m x 7m with gravelled hardstanding
for
car.
Excavate to depth of 4 inches, remove soil, membrane, gravel. No
hardcore
(probably not necessary it wont be used more than 2 or 3x day).

Reading area.......I'm sure it would be £3.50 up North :-(

I had guessed a grand so wasnt surprised, normally when I guess the
price
of
something the quotes come in at double that! Waiting for one more quote.


Not unreasonable - but I would suggest reconsideing the hardcore. 100mm of
mot type 1 over membrane with 25mm peashinblge rolled into the top will
give
a much more stable surface. 4" of gravel is V hard to walk on.

Paul, what is 'mot type 1' is that bigger bits of stone??
