Common questions
Block paving in Newton Mearns: your questions.
How much does a block paving driveway cost in Newton Mearns?
Most Newton Mearns driveways come in between £80 and £130 per square metre all-in, depending on the block you choose: standard concrete monoblock from around £80/m², premium ranges like Tobermore and Marshalls from £110/m², and tumbled Marshalls Tegula from £130/m². That price includes excavation, sub-base, drainage, laying and clean-up — and it's fixed once quoted.
Do I need planning permission for a driveway in Newton Mearns?
Only if the new driveway is over 5m² and drains onto a public road — and even then, permeable block paving is exempt. We'll confirm exactly what applies to your property at the free site visit.
How long does installation take?
