    Hello,
    Looking forward to know if 2k is reasonable or not for 16 square meter patio in limestone and one step to be fully redone. I live in Limerick.
    Thank you for your opinion as I have no clue.
    The only thing I know is that the demand is high at the moment (making up for the no abroad hols possible

    The patio slabs themselves could easily take up 75% of your budget, then you need to consider ground clearing costs and other materials such as hardcore, sand or cement, machinery cost ie whacker, cement mixer.

    I just googled limestone slab prices, ranged from 85-95 per m2, I’ve silver granite myself, just going from my experience getting mine done a few years ago, all in all about 15m2 with a plaster wall capped with silver granite slabs and a step and about 6 metres of metal French drains and 2 metal inserts with slabs in them for the drain covers, around €4,500 I paid

    Thanks all for your answers. Look like it is not cheap but not too exaggerated either.

    Ah ok. Those prices would be supplied and fitted.
