Hi. I am planning some paving for my back garden. I'd like to use a simple slabs but some more interesting detailing along these lines

I was thinking of using 450x450 slabs with a close joint of 5 mm or so in between. I am now thinking about how to source blocks for the detailing. Looking around online the most common size for block paving - which seemed the obvious choice - is 200x100 and that would lead to ugly staggering of the joints. Anyone know if it's likely I'll be able to find the sizes I need? Or suggestions as to how I might change my plans?
Thanks.
