How much does a driveway or landscaping project cost in St Albans?

A driveway or landscaping project in St Albans usually falls in the £3,000–£16,000 range, though every project is different. Costs in the East of England sit a touch above the national average, especially nearer London — Hertfordshire labour and materials are a real factor. Price comes down to area and choice of surface (block, resin, paving), groundwork, drainage and sub-base and extras like fencing, planting or lighting more than anything else. Getting two or three quotes is the best way to see a fair local price, which is exactly what our free matching service arranges.
