ᐅ How much will the garden cost? First quote received

Can’t you check it out in person somewhere? I wouldn’t rely on the opinion or taste of the landscape gardener. After all, you have to like it yourself. Besides, I would never buy materials without seeing them first. In reality, they always look different than in photos.

Sure, we will take a look at them.

The items we liked from the catalog were unfortunately almost all not on display at the building materials supplier. However, it was no problem to get a sample piece (for our terrace slabs even a whole 1 square meter (10.8 square feet)). Just a tip.

We already have three stones here – they were basically delivered to our home since someone from the neighborhood works at the building materials supplier. They are all the darker, almost black type... apparently, there are also some with a more reddish tone. The stone looks elegant – we like it so far. Of course, it’s hard to imagine how it will look across the whole surface, but that’s what online pictures are for.

We decided to go with clinker paving. It is from abc Klinker in midnight gray, covering 143 sqm (1,540 sq ft). Unfortunately, the landscaping contractor is unavailable due to a high workload and keeps postponing our project. Large slabs to reduce joint lines were also something we considered, but there are a few tricks to minimize weed growth between joints. Large slabs would have cost an additional €2,000 overall due to more complex installation and higher material costs, and they would have been made of concrete. Now we have fired bricks, which last forever.
