Help! which paving for a buff coloured house? - Block paving

[alix1858]

Help!

We are 2 weeks away from having our driveway paved and need some help. We live in a buff coloured house (redbank aubusson brick) which has handmade looking bricks with splodges of black within it. Our driveway is approx 160m2. We had a brilliant price on natural granite setts but the laying price of the product means that we would bankrupt ourselves before we even started so we have been looking at block paving.

We have been to just about every builders merchants out there but all have under 1m2 on display which is difficult to judge and, when we have brought back samples, we find it hard to see the 'finished article'.

We have seen the Marshall Tegula Duo in Heather Cotswold colour (builders merchant gave a quote of 18.50m2 which seems steep) but we are not sure if there is something that would look better. We would like something to complement the house but we need something that will make the house stand out rather than vice versa.

Help! Any ideas would be gratefully received and what price should we expect to pay for the Tegula Duo?

No houses around here look like ours otherwise we wouldn't be asking! Thank you. :laugh: ???

normally with yellow bricks you have a buffcoloured pavior with a red or charcoal border around the drive in 45 degree herring bone
if you look on the main site there is some interesting stuff about poryphic block paving that might suit you
