What’s involved
Material options
Concrete pavers — the volume material in Adelaide. $70–$95 per square metre installed. Comes in dozens of finishes; the difference between cheap and good is usually 50mm vs 40mm thickness and proper bedding.
What pricing depends on
Pricing depends on access (wheelbarrow vs truck-tipper), ground conditions, area shape (curves cost more than rectangles), edge details (kerbs, stairs), and material. Your quote will itemise these.
Common mistakes to avoid
Skipping compaction. Using sand bedding without crushed-rock subbase. No edge restraint. No cross-fall for drainage. Picking pavers by photo without a sample.

Frequently asked questions
How much does paving cost per square metre in Adelaide?
Concrete pavers run $70–$95 per square metre supplied and laid, brick $80–$110, bluestone $130–$180, travertine $140–$220 and other natural stone $150–$250. Driveway-grade pavers, tight access and complex shapes cost more.
How long does paving last?
Properly installed paving with a compacted base, edge restraint and cross-fall lasts 25–40 years. Installs that skip the base or the edge restraint can fail in five to eight.
Can I pave over existing concrete?
Sometimes. The concrete needs to be sound, level and have the right falls. It's often cheaper and more reliable to lift and replace it, and your quote will say which we recommend.
Which pavers suit an Adelaide pool surround?
Look for a slip-resistant, light-coloured paver that stays cooler underfoot, such as travertine, limestone or sawn sandstone, and a sealer suited to salt or chlorine. See our bluestone vs travertine and limestone vs bluestone guides for the trade-offs.
