What does paving (paver work) include?
Paving is more than one type of work. These are the services professional pavers carry out:
Driveway paving
Installing a durable, attractive driveway that handles cars and lasts for years.
Terrace or patio paving
Creating a functional seating area, well drained and resistant to subsidence.
Garden paths
Decorative or functional paths through your garden, practical and beautiful.
Decorative paving & ornamental work
Patterns, mosaics, or colour combinations for visual effect.
Permeable paving
Ecological paving that allows water through — better for rainwater harvesting and climate resilience.
Laying pavers
Traditional paver work for driveways and terraces, durable and classic.
Tiles and natural stone
Premium tiles, slate, or natural stone for high-end finishing.
What does paving cost in Friesland?
Paving prices depend on material, size, and ground preparation. Here are realistic guidelines for Friesland:
Driveway paving:
€30–€60 per m² (preparation and laying included). An average driveway of 30 m² costs €900–€1,800.
Terrace paving:
€25–€50 per m² (slightly cheaper than driveways; less groundwork needed). 50 m² terrace: €1,250–€2,500.
Garden path paving:
€20–€40 per m² (smaller work, less preparation).
Permeable paving:
€35–€65 per m² (slightly more expensive due to specialist material, but ecological and long-lasting).
Pavers & premium tiles:
€40–€80+ per m² (premium materials and labour).
Factors that influence the price:
- ✓Material — Concrete/pavers cheaper; natural stone/premium tiles more expensive
- ✓Surface area — Larger projects: lower price per m². Small projects: higher cost
- ✓Ground preparation — Poor ground = extra work and costs
- ✓Drainage — Complex drainage increases price
- ✓Accessibility — Hard-to-reach locations cost extra
Tip: Always ask pavers for a detailed quote per m² and a total price. Permeable paving costs a bit more, but saves on maintenance costs and fits better in Frisian climates.

Frequently asked questions about paving
What does paving cost per m²?
This depends on the type of work and material. On average you pay: Driveway: €30–€60/m², Terrace: €25–€50/m², Garden path: €20–€40/m², Permeable/premium: €35–€80/m². The exact price depends on soil type (poor ground = preparation needed = more expensive), material (concrete cheaper, natural stone more expensive), and accessibility. A paver always visits first before giving a fixed price. Always ask for 3+ quotes — prices can vary 25–40%.
What is the difference between a paver and a gardener?
A paver specialises in paving, driveways, terraces, and hardscape (stones, concrete, tiles). A gardener focuses on planting, garden design, maintenance, and green work. Many companies do both — they call themselves "garden installation and paving" or "gardeners with paver services". At Hovenier.frl you find both types, so you can fully outsource your project (plants + paving) or hire them separately. Ask in your quote request whether they have specific paving expertise.
How long does it take to install a driveway or terrace?
A small driveway (up to 20 m²): 3–5 days preparation and laying. A medium terrace (30–50 m²): 5–10 days. A large project with drainage and preparation: 2–3 weeks. This depends on: soil type (heavy groundwork = longer), weather (rain delays work), material (laying pavers takes longer than concrete slabs), complexity (special patterns or permeable system = longer). A good paver gives you a realistic schedule in the quote. Pay attention to this, because haste is expensive.
