I'd love to have coble lock but the maintenance is too much.
I suggest you look at coble lock that has been down a few years. It needs to be power washed every year or 2 & sand needs to be swept between the bricks. You can expect to pay €150 to €200 for a company to do this. If you know anyone that has it down for a few years ask them about maintenance.

its very easy to maintain.

i wash spray mine with weed killer every year..wash it down a few week later and brush the sand in between the joints..its far from rocket science and fairly effortless in all honesty.

I hear you and thanks for pointing that out. I just wanted to point out that there is maintenance in it. They might have thought that it is maintenance free. If you look after them there can be beautiful looking & if you don't they can look like jungles with all the weeds after a few years.

I consulted my neighbour (admittedly a very neat man), and he said he washed it every 2 years or so with bleach and… forget what else, giving the bricks a good scrub with a stiff brush. Maybe a wire brush, not sure.
