Footpaths cost estimate

    Hi all,

    I'm thinking of getting footpaths laid around the house.

    2,000 sq ft footprint bungalow. Fairly straight forward. There will have to be a step put in at the front door. Steps already in place at the rest of the doors.

    No curving or awkward angles. All 90's.

    Roughly how much do you think this should cost?

    Also, what do the regs say regarding path width? Does it have to be 1200mm?

    Regards.

    Cabledude.

    Cost is an issue. It it were not, paving stones would be lovely.

    Can't help with costs but you should be providing level access to at least one door

    Done already at a double door at the rear.

    After we built the house we put in steps at all doors with one of these being a ramp for wheelchair access. I did this at the time with the intention of getting the paths completed the following summer. For various reasons, we are noly now getting around to getting the paths laid.
