ᐅ Which Paving Size Is Best for Courtyards and Driveways? Example Images

Created on: 3 Jan 2020 11:56

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?

Since December 2017, we have had a compacted mineral mixture in place. Visually, paving looks nicer – it will be done eventually – but so far, the mineral mixture has been great through the winter. It’s not smooth, always provides grip, but when shoveling snow, you shouldn’t dig too deep. Thinking about my parents’ driveway, nothing is slippery except the paving. I have slipped down that hill on my backside more times than I can count.

Just drive through 2-3 new residential developments. That’s where you can see them... But the two are not identical.

In rural Mecklenburg, there aren’t many new housing developments, and if there are, they’re usually not very large. Most either have nothing yet or only concrete paving.

Your link seems to be broken. At least, I can’t access any video there.
