    unless you're trying to make a skating surface, you'll hardly require polished granite? Otherwise expect to pay labour of c € 40.00 - € 45/sq m + cost of stone € 25.00-€ 35.00/sq m. Note black limestone fades, can be treated!

    Sand cement etc included,
    Wouldn't advise diy route, it's a skill to pave to a decent standard and once it's done wrong you can't hide it and you need a decent set of tools.
    But if you do decide diy, ask lots of questions here and we will do our best to help.

    sorry for so many questions, but if i go on diy route what would i require in tools.

    The area i want to pave is already compacted with the gravels, so i guess i should be able to do the paving slabs directly on it with the sand and cement.

    i know little knowledge is dangerous but if gona cost fortune i have to go on diy route as we have our daughters birthday in house for fist time and i have to get that paving done.
