Hello everyone,
I am considering options for the driveway to the garage and the access to the house, with alternatives such as paving, asphalt, or concrete.
What are the advantages and disadvantages regarding:
- Cost (materials, labor...)
- Drainage fees
Thank you very much for your help

I want to go even further. Not a driveway, just grass pavers. There is no problem with up to 60 tons of load.
For the mailbox and from the outdoor parking spaces, then a paved strip.
But I’m still at the very beginning...

With occasional parking use, it stays attractive. With frequent use, the grass in the grass pavers simply looks shabby – a "sacrilege" for your beautifully designed house. Of course, grass pavers can also be filled with gravel.

No grass pavers!
Instead, use plastic honeycomb grids/ground grids (made from recycled material...).
They look like regular grass, but you don’t drive over the roots.
Thanks to the ground grid, there are no ruts or similar damage.
We also won’t have any “through traffic.”

Do you already have a manufacturer in mind for the grass pavers?

I have never seen anything like this in person... I would ask to see a sample area.

Aren't the plastic lawn grids quite slippery? I've definitely taken a hard fall from those grids before.
