The right choice of paving determines how your house, terrace and garden will look

— and how comfortable outdoor living will be for you. The range is wide: various shapes, colours, surface finishes and formats.

To make your selection easier, we've prepared a practical guide that will take you step by step.

1. Start with function, not colour

Each area has different load requirements:

💡 FEROBET Tip: Ensure a slope of at least 2% away from the house to allow water to drain freely.

2. Shape and format: model space without a digger

• Large format → fewer joints, luxurious look, ideal for modern terraces and entrances.

• Composite sets → multiple formats for a natural rhythm, suitable for walkways and driveways.

• Smaller modules → more playful compositions, suitable for garden paths, courtyards and mosaics.

Rule:
Large formats = calmer surface.
Smaller formats = more playful composition.

3. Surface and texture: the feeling underfoot

• Smooth surface → easy to clean, appears minimalist.

• Lightly textured → more secure footing when wet, pleasantly diffuses light.

• Stone imitation → natural impression, ideal for greenery.

💡 FEROBET Tip: The finer the texture, the more the design stands out. The rougher, the better it hides traffic and dirt.

4. Colours: keep a simple palette

• Light shades → heat up less and visually enlarge the space.

• Natural melanges → elegantly mask everyday traffic.

• Dark tones → contrasting accents, great for edging and framing areas.

💡 FEROBET Tip: Always view samples at the façade in both day and evening — colours change in different lights.

5. Laying pattern: the cheapest design trick

• Straight run → clean and modern look.

• Herringbone → great choice for driveways, distributes load.

• Random compositions → looks natural, ideal for garden paths.

• Decorative borders → elegant space delimitation, for example around dining areas.

6. Selection by location: what works best

• Driveway → robust compositions, contrasting border, medium melange.

• Terrace → large format, smooth or lightly textured surface, light tones.

• Walkways → medium format, joints in the direction of walking, edging for clean lawn.

• Pool and wet areas → lightly textured, light shades, safe surface.

• Pergola, grill, outdoor kitchen → easy maintenance, medium melange, smoother texture.

7. Cheat sheet before ordering

✔️ You know the load and have chosen the correct thickness.
✔️ You have selected the shape, format and pattern.
✔️ The surface suits maintenance and safety needs.
✔️ Colours are coordinated with the façade and garden.
✔️ Edges and transitions have been considered.
✔️ You've seen samples directly on site.

📌 Conclusion

Choosing the right concrete paving is not just about appearance, but mainly about functionality, comfort, and harmony with the surroundings.
