How much does a new driveway cost in Edinburgh?
The average installed price for a new driveway in Edinburgh is £150–£260/m² + VAT — all-in, including full dig-out, MOT Type 1 sub-base, edge restraints, drainage and finish. Tarmac £155–£190/m², monoblock £170–£220/m², block paving £185–£240/m², porcelain/natural stone £220–£260/m² — all + VAT. Important: we do not install resin driveways. We only remove failed resin surfaces (£40–£60/m² + VAT) and replace them with a properly engineered block paving, monoblock or tarmac driveway. A typical 50m² driveway runs £7,500–£13,000 + VAT depending on material. Premium areas (Barnton, Grange, New Town, Morningside, Trinity) add 10–15%. We're not the cheapest in Edinburgh — every driveway is 40% stronger than the BS 7533 minimum and guaranteed for life.
Based on 200+ Edinburgh driveway installations (2023–2025), the average project cost is £4,800 for a standard 40m² driveway.
