    its not for me but the person has being quoted €5000 by a large nationwide company, i thought his was a bit much:eek:

    like with most requests on here for prices, you will need more details than that to get a price.

    what is the existing surface? is there concrete to be removed? Is it topsoil?
    What kind of paving is needed? a cobble lock brick paving? or large flagstone type paving? is their kerbing to the edges? will there be cars parked ont he paving or just pedestrian use?

    sorry!

    it is a currently nearly all a type of decorative stone is the best way to describe it, that would be removed,
    the quote was for cobblelock paving, there is a flowerbed on one of the narrow edges which i think would need the kerbing, yes there will be cars parked on it,
    apologies for the lack of detail:o

    So thats 33x17 =561 sq feet 561/10 = 56.1 m2

    56.1m2 @ 89.126 Euros per m2 =4999.997 Euros.

    I'm cheaper, do I get the job?

    OP get a spec for the stone you want to put in and calculate the area and put it on a site like http://www.mytradesman.ie/ or similar and see what quotes you get back.
