The honest answer is between £80 and £120 per square metre for a fully installed patterned imprinted concrete driveway in Liverpool and Merseyside in 2026 — this includes everything from excavation through to the final sealer coat.
A typical semi-detached driveway in Liverpool is between 30m² and 60m², which puts the cost between £2,400 and £7,200 depending on size, pattern choice, access and any additional work such as steps or drainage.
At Avant Gardens we give you a fixed price after a free site survey. The price we quote is the price you pay — no extras on the day, no revised invoices, no surprises.
These are guide prices for a standard imprinted concrete driveway in Liverpool including all labour and materials.
Our fixed price covers everything — there are no extras added on the day. Here is exactly what is included:
We excavate to the correct depth and remove all spoil from site — included in the price.
Compacted stone sub-base to the correct depth — the foundation that stops your driveway sinking.
Fibre-reinforced concrete from a QSRMC accredited plant — 5 inches deep, significantly stronger than most competitors.
Your chosen colour hardener, pattern imprint and antique release agent for the two-tone effect — all included.
Premium acrylic sealer with anti-slip additive — protects the surface and locks in the colour.
The only company in Liverpool to offer a lifetime guarantee. Included on every job.
The bigger the driveway, the lower the cost per m² — economies of scale mean larger jobs are better value proportionally.
Rocky ground, poor drainage or deep excavation requirements can add cost. We assess this at the free survey.
All standard patterns and colours are included in the price. Premium patterns or multi-colour designs may add a small uplift.
Narrow side access or restricted vehicle access can affect how we deliver materials and may affect the price.
Additional steps, raised edging or kerb work are priced separately. Each step is typically £200–£250.
If new drainage channels or soakaways are required this will be discussed and priced at the survey stage.
