    Hi,
    Can anyone recommend some durable, contemporary style driveway paving that's not going to break the bank?

    Architect has recommended 'Tobermore Roma Bracken' but I really don't like either the colour or the style.

    I know *nothing* about paving, I'd love to hear some suggestions.

    Thanks

    If Tobermore is in your price range how about this style

    Thanks - that's much nicer actually.

    When you mention cost, Is Tobermore much more expensive than average? What would be along the cheaper lines?

    To be honest im not 100% sure, however you would imagine if the other Tobermore product is within your budget this one could not be too far out of the range. I got quoted somewhere around €36 + VAT per Sq M for that one. The cost of putting it down, no idea.

    They can be more expensive but is this a new build?
    You may have requirements from the drainage department to reduce surface water run off and the tobermore permeable system is certified so the architect can stand over it.
