Hi folks
I was wondering if you have any suggestions for a driveway block that would be in keeping with and old 2 storey stone built house.
I will be getting somebody to do the job for me. I just don't kow where to start looking.
House brick is stone with yellow and dark bricks. Yellowy ones dominates.

Any suggestions for a traditional looking block?
Something like
Stonemarket Trident Paviors
Brads tone Traditional
Bradstone Monksbridge - ochre

Am just starting out looking so have no idea at what end of the market these are pitched at.

So if you know of a "traditional" looking block that I won't have to sell a kidney for, it would be appreciated.
Thanks
MM

Thanks for that. It's a small area, maybe 7m x 4m btw. Forgot to specify.

for 30m2 you can get top end decent blocks
I reckon tegula traditional goes well with most colour schemes
probably cost you around 3k for that area
and they look quite rustic

Up where you are, the choice is more limited than it would be in Lower Britain, but for yellowy tones, the Country Cobble in Burren from Acheson-Glover or the Tegula in Cedar from Tobermore always work well.
