HEAHA KA HAE?

You probably picture flat, roughly cut stone scattered down a walkway or used as a landscape border when you think of flagstone. Flagstone actually encompasses several different types of stone used for hardscape projects, including slate, bluestone, limestone, travertine, and other types of naturally sourced stone. Many homeowners prefer the look of natural stone over uniform pavers because it results in a more freeform, organic design. Some types of natural stone are also considered luxury items, which is appealing for homeowners seeking an upscale result. 

ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana i nā pōhaku hae

No ka mea ʻaʻole i hana ʻia ka pōhaku hae maoli, pono e hōʻiliʻili ʻia mai kahi kumu ʻili. No ka mea he ʻokoʻa ka nānā a me ka manaʻo o kēlā me kēia ʻano pōhaku, ʻo kou ʻano a me kou makemake e hoʻoholo i ke ʻano āu e noʻonoʻo ai. ʻO ka pōhaku i hoʻohana ʻia no nā papahana paʻa pōhaku hae loaʻa mai nā wahi he nui ma ka ʻāina a me ka honua. Hiki i ke ʻano o ka pōhaku hae āu e hoʻohana ai ke hoʻopili i kāu kālā. ʻOi aku paha ke kumu kūʻai o nā ʻano rare a i ʻole kekahi mau kala like ʻole ma mua o nā mea maʻalahi ke loaʻa a he kala maʻamau. 

Nā koho hoʻokomo pōhaku hae

ʻO ke koho ʻana i ka pōhaku kūpono no kāu papahana he ʻāpana wale nō ia o ke kaʻina hana hoʻoholo. ʻO ka hoʻoholo ʻana pehea ʻoe e makemake ai e kau ʻia ma kāu waiwai kekahi mea kī i ka hoʻolālā holoʻokoʻa. Hiki ke kau ʻia ka pōhaku hae i loko o ka mauʻu, a hiki ke ulu ka mauʻu ma waena e hana i kahi ala hele maoli. ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe, hiki i ka mea hoʻonohonoho hardscape ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka hakahaka o ke alahele a i ʻole ka patio, hoʻopiha iā ia me kahi mea i lalo, a hoʻonohonoho i nā pōhaku hae ma ke ʻano e hana ai i kahi hoʻolālā paʻa. A laila hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā ʻāpana, a i ʻole e hoʻopiha ʻia nā ʻāpana me ka ʻiliʻili pea e paʻa ai ka wahi. Ma muli o ka nānā āu e ʻimi nei, hiki i ka pōhaku hae ke hoʻohālikelike me nā hui a hōʻike ʻia me kahi ʻokoʻa maʻalahi. 

HEAHA KA PAVER?

E like me ka pōhaku maoli, hele mai nā pavers i nā kala a me nā ʻano like ʻole. ʻAʻole like me ka pōhaku maoli, hana ʻia nā pavers. ʻO ia ke ʻano hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻāpana i nā pavers e hana i kahi hiʻohiʻona streamline a me ka ʻaʻahu me ka hopohopo ʻole e pili ana i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i kēlā me kēia i kahi ala e kūpono i ka hakahaka. Hana ʻia kekahi mau pavers e hoʻohālike i ke ʻano o ka pōhaku maoli, a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me ka pōhaku pōhaku a i ʻole ka pōhaku cobble. 

Nā ʻano Pavers

Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā pavers no nā ala kaʻa, nā ala hele wāwae, nā patio, nā papa, a me nā lua ahi. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia lākou e ka mea i hoʻohana ʻia i ke kūkulu ʻana a me ke ʻano o ka paver ponoʻī. ʻOiai hoʻohana ʻia ka pōhaku maoli i kekahi manawa no ke kumu like me ka paver, aia ka ʻokoʻa ma ke kumu. Ma kēia kūkākūkā ʻana, hana ʻia nā pavers ma kahi o ka quarried. 

• Palolo a me nā paʻi pōhaku. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā pavers brick a me ka pālolo no nā haneli mau makahiki. Hoʻokumu ʻia lākou ma ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka pālolo a laila hoʻomoʻa e hana i kahi ʻāpana paʻa. No ka hardscaping, kau ʻia lākou ma ke one a i ʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia. 
• Paʻakū. ʻO ka koho paver kaulana loa, nā pavers paʻa, hele mai i kahi ākea o nā kala a me nā nui no kāu papahana. Me ka paver paʻa, loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ikaika o ke koʻikoʻi ʻoiai e hāʻawi mau ana i kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka pā pōhaku i ninini ʻia. 
• ʻO ka Rubber a i ʻole ka plastic. ʻO nā ʻano paver liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, nā pavers faux holoʻokoʻa i hana ʻia mai ka lāʻau a i ʻole ka plastic, kaulana ia no ka poʻe e ʻimi nei e hoʻopau i ka hardscaping ma kahi kālā koʻikoʻi. Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia kēia mau mea ma luna o nā pā pōhaku i loaʻa no kahi hiʻohiʻona hou. 
• Paa huinaha a me ka huinahalike. Hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia ke ʻano o ka pōhaku maʻamau me kahi paver rectangular o ka nui like. Ke hoʻomau nei nā pavers rectangle a me nā square i kekahi o nā koho kaulana loa no ka mea maʻalahi lākou e waiho a hōʻemi i ka manawa hoʻonohonoho me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohiwahiwa ʻana i ka nani. 
• Hoʻopili. Pavers that are shaped in a way that makes them interlock when installed are desirable because they allow an installation that doesn’t involve mortar in between. Interlocking pavers result in a strong patio or walkway and provide an attractive pattern. 
• Hālawa. ʻO nā pavers i hana ʻia me nā ʻaoʻao curved e ʻae i ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o kahi ala ala ala ala a i ʻole patio. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia a puni ka ʻaoʻao wale nō a i ʻole he ʻāpana o ka lua ahi i hoʻohui ʻia. 

Koho Hookomo Paver

Depending on your finished patio or walkway project’s desired look, there are several paver installation options. To provide an even and uniform look, the area must be cleared, and a layer of sand or other stabilizing material is first spread evenly. The pavers are placed on top of this layer and wedged tightly together. Nā mea hoʻonoho paver ʻoihana e hoʻohana i nā mea hana kūikawā e mālama i ka pae pavers i ka wā e hoʻokomo ai. ʻO kahi ʻano one kūikawā i loaʻa nā ʻāpana silica e hoʻopaʻa i nā pavers ma kahi. 

I kekahi mau hihia, pono ka paver kūikawā a i ʻole ke kaʻina hana e hoʻolilo i ka patio a i ʻole ke ala hele i ʻoi aku ka permeable i ka wai. Nui nā wahi i nā hoʻoponopono wai ʻino e pono ai nā pavers kūikawā. I kēia mau hihia, pono nā papa hoʻoheheʻe hou ma lalo o nā pavers, a ʻo nā wahi liʻiliʻi ma waena o nā pavers pono e ʻae i ka wai. 

Pehea e ʻike ai inā pono ʻoe e hoʻohana i ka FLAGSTONE a i ʻole nā ​​​​paver? 

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi pilikia pavers vs flagstone, e nīnau iā ʻoe iho i kekahi mau nīnau e kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻoholo i ka mea a me ke ʻano kūpono no kāu papahana. He aha kāu kālā? ʻOi aku ke kumu kūʻai o ka pōhaku hae ma mua o ka pavers, akā ʻo ka mea he pōhaku maoli. Makemake ʻoe i kahi ʻano manuahi a nānā kino i kou ʻāina a i ʻole he manaʻo maʻalahi a kūlike? Aia kekahi mau kapu hoʻokomo i kāu waiwai? I ka hiki ʻana mai i kāu hoʻoholo hardscape hope, ʻo kāu aesthetic maikaʻi loa ka mea hoʻoholo. Inā pilikia ʻoe i ka hoʻoholo ʻana ma waena o ka pōhaku hae, nā pavers, a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea paʻakikī ʻē aʻe, kelepona iā mākou i kēia lā e kamaʻilio me kahi mea hoʻolālā ʻoihana no ka ʻōlelo aʻo e pili ana i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāu ʻike.
