    Our house is on an urban road with a bend outside the gate. The road is barely wide enough for two cars to pass. Reversing into the driveway is well nigh impossible so that my wife has to reverse out. This is not much less tricky.

    We are budgeting for a new concrete or paving slab driveway of about 81 sq metres.

    What would a ball park figure be to get this done by a contractor?

    Said details were not specified,but i'd have assumed so, mostly as they are not optional.

    I'd need the full treatment "Including drains, hardcore, compacting/ levelling etc".

    The gas pipe is at the border, we don't want the border done. The water mains would be more or less in the centre of the drive if that is an issue.

    We are going to the Credit Union this evening to find out about a loan.

    P.S.

    There is no link in your post.
