What Does a Patterned Concrete Driveway Cost in Liverpool?
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.
Price by Driveway Size
These are guide prices for a standard imprinted concrete driveway in Liverpool including all labour and materials.
What's Included in the Avant Gardens Price
Our fixed price covers everything — there are no extras added on the day. Here is exactly what is included:
Full excavation and removal
We excavate to the correct depth and remove all spoil from site — included in the price.
MOT Type 1 sub-base
Compacted stone sub-base to the correct depth — the foundation that stops your driveway sinking.
125mm concrete pour
Fibre-reinforced concrete from a QSRMC accredited plant — 5 inches deep, significantly stronger than most competitors.
Colour, pattern and release agent
Your chosen colour hardener, pattern imprint and antique release agent for the two-tone effect — all included.
Acrylic sealer coat
Premium acrylic sealer with anti-slip additive — protects the surface and locks in the colour.
Lifetime structural guarantee
The only company in Liverpool to offer a lifetime guarantee. Included on every job.
What Affects the Price
Size
The bigger the driveway, the lower the cost per m² — economies of scale mean larger jobs are better value proportionally.
Ground conditions
Rocky ground, poor drainage or deep excavation requirements can add cost. We assess this at the free survey.
Pattern and colour choice
All standard patterns and colours are included in the price. Premium patterns or multi-colour designs may add a small uplift.
Access
Narrow side access or restricted vehicle access can affect how we deliver materials and may affect the price.
Steps and edging
Additional steps, raised edging or kerb work are priced separately. Each step is typically £200–£250.
Drainage
If new drainage channels or soakaways are required this will be discussed and priced at the survey stage.

Common Cost Questions
Is imprinted concrete good value?
Yes — when you factor in the 25–30 year lifespan, minimal maintenance costs and no weed treatment, imprinted concrete typically costs less over 20 years than block paving or natural stone.
Do you charge VAT?
Yes — Avant Gardens is VAT registered and all quotes include VAT. A full VAT invoice is provided on completion of every job.
When do I pay?
We do not require large upfront deposits. Payment is typically arranged on completion once you are completely satisfied with the result.
Will the price change after I accept the quote?
Never. The price we quote after the site survey is fixed. We do not add extras on the day or revise costs once work has started.
Is it cheaper to do front and back together?
Yes — combining a front driveway and rear patio into one project usually saves money compared to two separate jobs. The team is already there and materials can be delivered together.
