Hello everyone,
I hope to find someone here who has experience with when a "defect" due to color deviations caused by different batches for the access path actually constitutes a defect.
I have been discussing with the landscaper for some time now, because in the middle of my access path a new batch of stones had to be used. Basically, this is not a problem, but both batches have completely different compositions. One batch is already significantly darker than the other as standard (see picture), but it is especially noticeable when it rains. Well, the wetness is not permanent, so that could be tolerated, but overall it just doesn't look good.
The outdoor area is part of the house construction for me, so technically I am not the customer, but the house building company, which of course makes it a bit more difficult to enforce any claims. The house building company does not care whether there are one or two batches of stones. Since there was still plenty of joint sand on the stones when the house was accepted, it was not visible at that time, otherwise I would have complained immediately.
If it is indeed a defect, I would speak again with my construction supervisor, since I have had no success on my own so far – but due to the resulting consulting costs, I only want to approach this if there is really a chance of success.
