Driveway stones from Kann in light gray

It says that the installation itself costs 27 EUR/m², the stones are supposed to cost net 47 EUR/m². Then there is gravel and grit, but you need those anyway, even with cheaper paving...

I would (and will) lay paving that I like. If you also like anthracite, then take that, because it is apparently actually easier to maintain. But it has the disadvantage that the stuff glows in the high summer and heats up the already warm air even more...

The question is also what fits better with the rest. I have a yellow house, so I will lay paving in sandstone, beige, something like that. If I have to pressure wash it every few months, so be it.

Don't under any circumstances choose paving "because it's easier to maintain and still looks good after 125 years" that you don't really like. Who knows what will be in 10 years. But then at least you had 10 years of joy with your beautiful paving in the color you wanted.

You know the saying: "When I retire, I'll travel the world, I'm saving every cent now!" And suddenly, you get sick and can't do any of it anymore... if you want something, do it now, don't postpone or think about the world in 20 years. Especially not with something like paving...

If you google, the 47 EUR net is apparently quite cheap. At Benz24, the stones cost 65 EUR/m² if you order as a private customer. For my part, I find it absurdly expensive for something that a car drives over daily, rain, snow, dirt, leaves fall on it, etc. I would spend that for a terrace per m², but definitely not for 80m² driveway, parking spaces, and paths. But I’m not a standard here. Nice paving, if you like it, go for it.

It's also difficult with Knoll because the company is called Koll. Some people put laminate flooring costing 20 EUR/m² into their house, others parquet for 120. Both work. In the end, it is a paving stone. Colored concrete with a more or less elaborate surface treatment. But it remains concrete.

Even the experts disagree on whether for a car driveway, where there will never be a truck driving over it, 6cm is sufficient or if it must be 8cm. The company Kann says 6cm is completely enough, others tell you it should definitely be 8cm.

But thanks anyway for the tip, the company Koll actually has some interesting stones.
