Hello everyone,

We will soon decide how to build our terrace and driveway.

We have no ideas yet and are a bit in the dark.

Especially regarding the terrace... what would be the best option? (Costs?, Maintenance?, Durability?)

Best regards, Barossi

Looks very good.

Where the stones meet the house directly, I would leave out the granite.

But as mentioned earlier:
it is absolutely a matter of personal taste and has to please you.
Just try replacing a few stones and see how it looks.

We tried it yesterday evening with 3 stones – somehow it looked better. So it will be replaced accordingly.
Thank you for your feedback.

Something like this can never be "objectively ugly" – it’s your house, and it only needs to please you. Would you really let a few posts from random forum users decide that?

Oh well, I had already been editing. Anyway, we also asked some acquaintances... I don’t always trust my sense of style.

I’m repeating myself: It’s your style – you’re not building to please others, are you??

Hardly anyone here will comment if they fundamentally don’t like it.
Even acquaintances will be reluctant to criticize stones already laid or ordered.

So in the end, it’s your style, and if you like it—you’re not alone—then that’s what matters.

The tip about the idea of a visual separation is a good one.

I would have expected something a bit more linear in your house design, just to mention in passing.
