    Hi Have a garden approx 60 X 30 ft or thereabouts that Im considering getting paved.

    We have two dogs and what was once a lovely lawn is now muck and dirt, Id looked at a few options but am stook between trying to redo it in the summer or just paving it and been done with it.

    Any idea what the cost would be to get it done, Im not looking for anything fancy no designs or patterns just the area to be slabbed so we can go out again with it been a mudbath :(

    Any prices be great even approx ones?

    Thanks

    Don't know about prices, but just keep the following in mind:
    If you just get slabs put on a sand bed you will be damned with weeds that are harder to get rid of than out of earth.
    If you get the whole area done with concrete and slabs you will have no drainage in the garden, look out for where the water will go.
    With two dogs a hard surface could end up pretty manky, especially in the summer. If the area to be paved is the entire garden I suggest you leave spaces and put in a couple of small trees and maybe a patch of shrubbery.
