Hello everyone,

We are currently trying to decide which paving stone to use for our project.

My technical requirements are a thickness of 8cm (3 inches) and a size of at least 14–15cm (5.5–6 inches) in width. For example, I have already found 28x14cm (11x5.5 inches), which would work. The background for this is that I want to use the paving stone as an edging for the splash guard strip next to the lawn (instead of a regular curb), and the future robotic mower will need a suitable run-off area.

My wife would prefer a multi-format appearance and a light gray color, something along those lines.

These two seem to appeal to her:

DIEPHAUS paving stones VIA ROYAL Muschelkalk
Kann Germania antique

However, they are relatively expensive, apparently because they are so-called eco-paving stones. We don’t actually need eco-paving stones. I can’t find anything similar elsewhere. In general, it’s difficult for me to find any multi-format paving stones.

Can you recommend other manufacturers whose websites I could check out?

Thanks in advance!

There is also the Kreher Via Caesaro, but the eco-friendly pavers have the drawback of gaps between the laid stones, so they cannot be placed tightly together as lawn edging stones. This means you will have gaps that will likely fill with grass or weeds.

Best regards,
Sabine

Well, as I said, we don't really need eco-friendly paving.

It looks quite nice, but the edges seem a bit chipped. I think I would prefer smoother edges.
Are there no regular paving stones in a similar multi-size format and color? This can’t be exclusive to eco-friendly paving.

Take a look at casa by linden. We have it, and it is much more affordable than the germania while looking very nice. It is available with or without chamfered edges.

Also comes in multiple formats and 8cm (3 inches) thick.

Just visit your nearest building materials supplier.

Hello, take a look at kunaschk.de. They offer larger formats in many colors. I think the price is quite reasonable as well. The concrete plant is located in Lusatia. Best regards, Steffi33
