Not exactly true. 60 mm pavers are 2.4 inches and are fine for driveways based on a conversation with Flagstone, a supplier for this area. The thin pavers (30 mm) are 1.2 inches and may have issues but I have seen numerous installations that look fine. I have 60 mm pavers and they look great. Typical maintenance is a resanding and sealing every few of years, which I can do myself.

After this research, we had our driveway painted in a design that looks like cobble stone. No maintenance for 5 to 6 years, then a clear coating. The painting is about $2 per square foot and was much less then pavers, and avoids the maintenance required for the pavers over the same period of time.

Just MHO, hope this helps.
