Driveway cost

Hi, has anyone got a rough idea how much a gravel driveway would cost please?

It's not a big driveway, probably around 20-25 square metres but it will need to be dug out as it’s all grass with a concrete path at the moment.

I found this guide: https://mylocaltoolbox.co.uk/cost-guides/gravel-driveway-cost/ and according to that it would cost approximately £1,800 with maybe some additional costs for a skip.

Does this sound about right?

    You don't need a skip use a grab lorry it's cheaper and easier 1 load maybe £200 depending where you live. 

    Ask the local builders merchant how much for 5 ton type one and a ton of gravel and do it yourself
