The great range of paving materials makes shopping and designing fun, but the number of choices can also be a bit overwhelming. Luckily, this post will help by discussing some guide tips for choosing the right paving.
Below are 3 guide tips for choosing the right paving:
Get samples
All stone companies will be more than happy to send you samples of their paving. Ideally get as many as you can so that when you return home, and look at them in-situ, you have a few to choose from. Many stone companies have display areas which is really helpful.
If you pick the samples up from a yard, sometimes they’ll have some larger pieces or broken slabs that you can take away. Once you’ve got the stone home, place it in-situ and see how it fits in with the color of the house wall and any other materials in the garden.
Be sure to look at the stone when it’s wet as well as dry…it can change quite dramatically. Source: LisaCoxDesigns
Consider Shapes, Sizes, Styles and Colors
Pavers are an eternal part of almost every typical Australian home and surrounding areas of a household. Be it indoors, outdoors, formal or semi-formal space in offices, or commercial areas, pavers are one of the most popular choices.
Pavers are versatile and can be used in various shapes, sizes, styles, colours, and finishes. So if you think of pavers for renovating any of your surroundings or just want to construct a new structure with pavers, it’s a great idea! It is essential to visit a dedicated paving and retaining wall center such as an APC Local display center.
– Consider the colour, size, appearance, maintenance, and suitability as well
– Get suggestions on what you should choose – smooth or textured pavers and thick or thin pavers
– Ensure the store you visit has adequate product knowledge.
– Do not buy products on line.It can be the most expensive mistake you even made. Source: AustralianPaving
Concrete or Natural stone
Concrete pavers offer an embarrassment of riches — there are shapes, sizes, textures, and colors galore. Some are plain; some look like real stone; others have intricate patterns embossed on their surfaces. They’re readily available at home improvement centers and are well-suited to DIY patio projects.
Interlocking concrete pavers have tabs and slots so they fit together like pieces of a very simple puzzle. They’re fairly inexpensive, have minimal maintenance, and install quickly.
Concrete can be finished off in lots of imaginative ways — brushed, acid washed, scored, and stamped — and lots of colors. Its long lifespan and relatively inexpensive installation make it a popular choice. Source: HouseLogic
