ᐅ Parchetto paving with unsightly color variations

Hello everyone,

We are currently working on our paving.

The paving stones are from Kann Bausysteme and are called Parchetto.

We have the following issue. See pictures:

Outdoor area with gray-black paving stones and a red cable on the ground

Modern white detached house with gray paved area in the front yard; construction materials visible.


Is this type of installation acceptable? When the stones were laid, we were not at home but at work. Should the paver have been more careful?
Because the dark stones are placed directly next to the light ones, it looks very odd.
When we looked at the samples at the store before ordering, it was not clear that the color variations in this paving would be so pronounced.

The laying pattern looks like this:

Wooden crate with pumpkins, decorative gourds, and straw on paved surface.


We actually like this part. We are desperate and don’t know what to do. We don’t like how it looks at all.

Best regards
Koempy

Your house turned out nicely.
I especially like your front entrance with the many steps.

Which paving color do you prefer? Dark (anthracite) or rather light?

And why? I guess dark is less prone to showing dirt, while light looks much friendlier.

We have just finished paving as well.
We love the color.

Did you do the paving yourselves?

Yes, did everything myself, including the excavation.
This is EHL Cassetta paving.
Got it at a good price—20 euros per square meter (about 1.86 square feet) is really great.
