Want the real quote, done for you?
This is a rough number. Vorkeon builds the full paving and interlock quote from one sentence:
- Materials with waste, and crew time from your own pace
- Current prices from building-supply stores near the job
- A clean PDF with your logo that the customer signs on their phone
- Then the invoice, reminders and your crew's hours, in one app
What drives the price of a paving job
- Excavation depth. Driveways need a deeper base than walkways or patios.
- Base material. Gravel, screenings or bedding sand, and the compaction time.
- Paver choice. Simple pavers cost less than natural stone or premium slabs.
- Pattern and cuts. Curves, borders and herringbone add saw cuts and waste.
- Edge restraint. Plastic or concrete edging to stop pavers spreading.
- Soil removal. Trucking dug-out soil away can be a large cost on its own.
A worked example
A made-up example to show the method, not a price guide. A 500 sq ft patio with pavers and base at 7.00 material and 9.00 labor per sq ft: 500 × 16.00 = 8,000. Add 600 for soil removal and 300 for edging, for 8,900. With 25% markup the quote is 11,125 before sales tax. Your local stone and labor costs will be different.
What to put in your paving quote
- Area, use (walkway, patio or driveway) and dig depth
- Base layers, thickness and compaction method
- Paver or slab name, color and pattern
- Borders, steps, edging and polymeric sand
- Soil removal and machine access
- Drainage slope away from the house

Paving and interlock quoting questions
Why does a paver driveway cost more than a patio of the same size?
Driveways carry cars, so they usually need a deeper, better compacted base and sometimes thicker pavers. More digging and more gravel mean more cost per square foot.
Should soil removal be priced separately?
Often yes. The amount depends on dig depth and access, and disposal fees vary. Listing it on its own line makes the quote easier to explain.
How do I price a paving and interlock job?
Multiply the paved area by your material and labor cost per square foot, then add your markup to cover overhead and profit. Add tax on top when you send the quote.
What markup should I use?
Use the markup that covers your overhead (vehicle, insurance, tools, office) and leaves the profit you want. Many contractors land between 15% and 35%, but your own costs decide it.
