Climate Considerations:
Frost-prone areas? Opt for non-porous materials like porcelain.Shaded spots? Avoid slippery polished stone.

Scale & Proportion:
Driveways: Minimum 3m width for vehicle access.Pathways: 1.2m for two people; 1.8m for wheelbarrows.
Textural Contrasts:

Focal Points:
Frame pathways with arches, water features, or specimen trees.Illuminate steps or slopes with subtle LED lighting.
Technical Excellence: Avoiding Costly Pitfalls
Drainage Solutions:
Slope pavings 1-2% away from structures.Permeable options (resin-bound, gravel) reduce runoff.
