Hello everyone!
We are considering the paving design for our courtyard and driveway.
We have built a “modern” city villa and want the paving to match this style.
We have basically settled on anthracite-colored paving stones...
One supplier offers a stone (Lusit Crescendo) in different sizes, and we are unsure which to choose! Does anyone have actual photos of their paving in any of the sizes they plan to use?
30x20x8 cm (12x8x3 inches) at 16.50€ per m² (square meter)
40x20x8 cm (16x8x3 inches) at 19.50€ per m² (square meter)
30x10x8 cm (12x4x3 inches) at 18.00€ per m² (square meter)
We need to pave just under 160 m² (square meters) in total...
Are there any experiences regarding the “stability” of the paved area related to the different stone sizes?

hampshire5 Jan 2020 08:46We chose a gravel driveway and parking area instead of paving stones or asphalt. It looks great, is cost-effective, and doesn’t get slippery as quickly in winter. With the right size of gravel, you also avoid bringing small stones into the house. Additionally, the surface doesn’t require heavy sealing.

We ourselves manage perfectly without spinning tires, even with the panel van. We would have liked to use cobblestones as well, but with the price factor of 3.5 for over 300m² (3,229 sq ft), it was simply too expensive.

You also built on a slope, right?
Are there any issues with traction? Do the tires sometimes slip on the gravel?
Do you have a photo of the driveway so I can get an idea?We have gravel, about 36mm (1.4 inches) in size. No traction problems, but every now and then we have to kick some stones back onto the driveway.

It’s always difficult to judge from a single brick.Just drive through 2-3 new housing developments. You can see them there... However, the two are not identical.YouTube - watch?v=OH5F3q3qUtg&Feature=emb_title
