How many SQM of concrete do you need? We ended up paying $80 per SQM Paving came in at about $120 per SQM supply and lay. Decking was more. We have ended up doing concrete with small sections we will build joining boardwalks for mix of materials and break up the concrete. Hope this helps Re: Huge Quote for basic landscaping 27Jun 23, 2015 5:52 pm Evec I just did some basic sums so assuming at the higher end of supply/install... Concrete 77sqm @ $120 per sqm = $9240 (we paid $80 per sqm but due to size of job most are at about $100 per sqm. Paving 43 sqm @ $150 per sqm (supply lay) = $6450 We were quoted $44 per sqm labour and even high end pavers are not that expensive. Decking 17 sqm @ $180 per sqm (supply install) = $3060 Even if the decking was more per sqm I cannot see how they can charge you such a huge amount. Thats a total of $18,750 and that is using higher end per sqm pricing. I would get more quotes 44K is way too much for that as that is not a lot of sqm all up. Hope that helps. Make sure you get all your quotes broken down, concrete per sqm, paving supply and lay and same with decking so you can see where the money is going.
