We want to pave our driveway. It’s easily over 100m² (1,076 sq ft). We have quotes around 6,500€. Now I'm really feeling a bit stingy and wondering if it’s something we can do ourselves? It’s not exactly rocket science, right? Has anyone here done their own paving? Is it possible for a layperson to handle 100m² (1,076 sq ft) on their own?

What type of paving have you chosen for your driveways?
We have almost 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft) of driveway and about 50 sqm (538 sq ft) around it to pave. I will definitely be doing the work myself with friends on weekends. This will be the third or fourth project of this size.
I am looking for suitable paving for this. It can be a bit rustic and should not cost more than €15 per sqm (€15 per square meter). It is important that it can withstand trucks, so it needs to be at least 7 cm (2.75 inches) thick.
We found a type in the “Waal” format. However, I am not quite sure about the dimensions of 20 x 5 x 7 cm (8 x 2 x 2.75 inches). Does anyone have experience with this? Is it easy to lay or does it look odd over such long stretches?
At the moment, the only alternative is standard concrete pavers. Somehow I find that lacks creativity...
