W Westbound Registered User Messages 81 11 Feb 2009 #1 Hi We have asked for a quote for the following: Additional cobblelock to driveway (say 80sq ft) rest of area to be pebbled (say 150 sq ft) Whole area to be dug out, levelled and some drainage put in Lay weed barrier etc We are quoted €1700 + VAT. I haven't a clue about these things - does this sound reasonable?
