    First of all, this won't be a DIY job! I'd like my front garden done in imprinted concrete so I can use it as a drive in. It's 50sq metres. Got a price today of €3,750. This includes 2 manholes and moving the front pillar 2 feet to widen the entrance. Does this sound about right? I'm on the northside. Can anyone recommend a company?

    50 square metres at 6 inches deep is roughly 7.5 cubic metres of concrete which would cost €60/metre=€450. Is it in grass now or is there a hard surface there? If it is in grass they would have to dig this up put down hardcore put in pipes and manholes lay concrete imprint it so €3750 sounds right. Check them out look at other jobs that they have done because there are a lot of cowboys doing these kind of jobs. Also make sure that the job is done that any water won't lodge on the surface when it rains, I know a neighbour that got the same job done and now every time it rains he has pools of water on his driveway.
