Typical Auckland price band

Most residential concrete driveways in Auckland fall around $90–$150 per m² to supply and lay (indicative, excl. GST), before heavy earthworks or premium decorative finishes. Site conditions matter more than the brochure price.

What changes the number

  • Site prep — removing old surfaces, excavation, poor ground, tree roots
  • Size & shape — curves, slopes and double-width layouts cost more than a straight single run
  • Thickness & steel — heavier vehicle use needs a thicker slab
  • Finish — plain is cheapest; coloured and exposed aggregate cost more
  • Vehicle crossing / consent — council requirements can add scope (see our consent guide)
