DIY driveway

Page 1 of 1
Will be building a house soon and would like to do some of the work myself as possible to save on cost. Anyone tried to do their own driveway? How hard is it? The size would probably be 5m long and 7m wide. Any tips or guides you can share? Thanks
Do you want to do concrete or paving?
I think with concrete you would have to know what you were doing, however with pavers there would be more room for error
not really sure yet.. what are the dis-/advantages of each?
Keep your eye out while you are out and about

and you will see the difference and how they handle activity

There are examples everywhere

Then work out the area you want to cover.
Cost might be apart of your discision
regarding cost.. which one is more expensive in terms of materials and labor?

i guess gotta ring a few local concreters and pavers..
There are too many variables.
You need to see and then ask

i can help you with prices but I need to know wha you want.
