Asphalt and block paving prices

A square metre of asphalt or block paving has no single price. Two things decide it: what lies under the surface and how large the site is. Below are example sites calculated with our unit prices, and the prices themselves — line by line.

What a whole site comes to

Calculated with the calculator on this page — with the construction we recommend and 20 km to the site. Totals include VAT and everything else: excavation, base, materials, laying and transport.

Asphalting a yard on bare ground

A new yard from scratch: 30 cm excavation and removal of the soil, a 15 cm crushed stone base, compaction, bitumen emulsion and 4 cm of asphalt.

AreaTotal incl. VATPer m²

200 m²10,757 €53.78 €
500 m²24,432 €48.86 €
1,000 m²47,423 €47.42 €

Asphalting on an existing base

The crushed stone base is already laid and compacted. What remains is preparation, bitumen emulsion and 4 cm of asphalt.

On a small site the square metre costs more, because part of the cost is the same for every site. For asphalt that is mainly bringing the paving equipment on a low loader — 1,200 €, whether the site is 100 or 1000 square metres. Block paving needs no low loader, so the difference is smaller.

The price shown is indicative. The final price is set after a site visit and an assessment of the existing ground.

What it depends on

Why there is no single price per square metre

What lies underneath

If the base is ready, you pay for the top layer. If it is bare ground, it needs excavation, soil removal and a new crushed stone base. That makes the biggest difference — compare the first two examples above.

How large the site is

Bringing the equipment and the minimum machine shifts cost the same on a small site and a large one. The larger the area, the less they weigh per square metre.

What will drive over it

Yards and car parks for cars take a single layer of asphalt. Streets and lorry yards need two layers and a thicker base, so the square metre costs more there.

Distance and access

Stone and soil are hauled per tonne and kilometre. A narrow entrance, a slope or work by hand only show on site — which is why the exact price comes after a site visit.

Questions about the price

Questions about the price

Do the prices include VAT?

The unit prices in the table exclude VAT. The examples and the calculator also show the total with VAT — 20% on top.

What does the asphalt alone cost per square metre?

At 5 cm — about 22.68 € excluding VAT: material, delivery and laying. The base, the bitumen emulsion and bringing the equipment are not included, so a whole site costs more — see the examples.

Is the calculator price final?

No. It is indicative and only as accurate as the dimensions and the description of the site. The final price is in the written quotation after a site visit.

Do you charge for the site visit?

No. The site visit and the written quotation are free and place you under no obligation.
