Paving stones for driveway

14 years ago

Hello.
.I am doing a development at the moment we have painted the exterior of the houses pale grey. We are planning to use tan pavers for the driveway as I feel this would break the overall Greyness of the complex. The tan pavers tie in with the Murantie wood gates and fences. Do you think we should rather go with a pale gray paver? I just feel this will be too much grey. Would much appreciate your opinions. Send pictures if you have. Thanks.

This is a great question. There are lots of things to consider when choosing paver colors. Although coordinating with the exterior of the home is important, you can also consider other aspects of the environment. What color are the roof tiles, what color are the homes surrounding the area, what colors are found in the landscape?

There are pavers that include both grey and tan, and you could then do the trim colors or other hardscape features with the tan incorporated. Basalite makes several pavers with both grey and tan incorporated. I've attached some images for you to check out!

Happy Building!
