The right choice of paving decides how your home, terrace, and garden will look

— and how comfortably you will live outside. The range is wide: different shapes, colours, surface finishes, and formats.

To make your choice 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, so water drains freely.

2. Shape and format: model the space without a digger

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

• Combinable sets → more formats for a natural rhythm, suitable for pathways 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: feeling underfoot

• Smooth surface → easy to clean, gives a minimalist look.

• Slightly textured → more secure step 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 it is, the better it hides use and dirt.

4. Colours: keep a simple palette

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

• Natural blends → elegantly mask everyday use.

• Dark tones → contrast accents, great for edging and framing spaces.

💡 FEROBET Tip: Always view samples by the façade during the 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 → appear natural, ideal for garden paths.

• Decorative borders → elegant space definition, such as around a dining area.

6. Selection by location: what works best

• Driveway → robust compositions, contrasting edge, medium blend.

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

• Pathways → medium format, joints in the direction of walking, edging for lawn cleanliness.

• Pool and wet zones → slightly textured, light shades, safe surface.

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

7. Checklist before ordering

✔️ You know the load and have chosen the correct thickness.
✔️ You have selected the shape, format, and pattern.
✔️ The surface is suitable for maintenance and safety.
✔️ Colours are matched with the façade and garden.
✔️ Edges and transitions are thought through.
✔️ You have seen samples on-site.

📌 Conclusion

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