Landscaping is a combination of a number of details that create a single compositional ensemble. A significant role in creating an aesthetic appearance of a personal territory is played by paths that connect the house with a gazebo, a bathhouse and other functionally significant buildings on the site. The main thing in the design of such tracks is to choose the right material. Existing methods of laying paving slabs allow you to create an exterior that is unique in beauty.
How to lay a tile? Choose optionsA variety of schemes, according to which it is easy to create a garden path, makes it possible to give the homestead territory a special appearance. Most often, the traditional laying of paving slabs on sand in the form of a herringbone or wicker pattern is used. However, there are much more variations that allow you to transform the site. For example, pedestrian paths and platforms can bridge in the form of a pattern of “spoons”: in this case, the tile is laid either in length or sideways. This technology resembles a crawler design. By the way, if the paving slabs are laid horizontally, the track will appear wider, and in the vertical - longer.
The classic methods of laying paving slabs are designed for square platforms. So, the “braiding” pattern suggests that the pavers will be paved in pairs: first, two tiles are laid sideways, two more tiles perpendicular to them, and so on in the drawing. Thus, columns and rows of paving slabs are formed. Another popular method is herringbone paving, when the elements of the material are laid at a certain angle to each other. This method is good in that the resulting coating will be more durable due to the interlocking of the laid tiles.
More complex methods for laying paving slabs, as a rule, are based on the use of expensive non-standard materials. For example, a coating made in a circular pattern will look spectacular on a plot. To create such an interesting decor, wedge-shaped tiles are used. As a rule, such a template is good for decorating arbors or spaces near arches. A coating that is made from a random mixture also looks advantageous. In this embodiment, the tracks are arranged by randomly mixing tiles of different shapes, textures and colors.
What to consider?Laying paving slabs (the price for the implementation of this service by specialists depends on the features of the site, and on the material used) must be performed according to certain rules. Firstly, the coating should be resistant to the effects of natural phenomena, environmentally friendly and beautiful in appearance. Secondly, it is important to properly prepare the base for paving stones - this may be a pillow of crushed stone or sand. The foundation is reinforced with a concrete screed.
Modern methods of laying paving slabs are an ideal opportunity to make your garden plot more vivid and interesting. The most important thing is to comply with the technology so that the resulting coating is durable and resistant to various effects.
