ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā ʻano Paver a me nā ʻano hoʻohālike - ka paving pupule

So you’re on your way to laying a new path, but you don’t know where to begin. The wide range of styles and patterns means you have many options, but the overwhelming variety can leave beginners at a loss. We’ve broken down the mysteries, brick-by-brick, so you can easily plot the road to your ideal walkway or patio!

He aha ka paver?

ʻO ka paver kekahi ʻano pōhaku paving, tile, brick, a i ʻole pōhaku lepo i hoʻohana ʻia i ka papahele o waho. Ua hoʻohana ka poʻe Roma kahiko iā lākou no ke kūkulu ʻana i nā alanui e kū nei i kēia lā. I nā hale o kēia wā, hoʻohana mākou iā lākou no nā ala, nā ala kaʻa, nā patio, nā papa wai, lumi waho, and garden paths. Their primary advantages over poured concrete are that they age well, don’t crack from heat or cold, and that single bricks can be re-leveled and replaced if the ground shifts beneath them. Plus, their diversity of styles and patterns offer an incredible range of beauty.

He aha nā Pavers i hana ʻia mai loko mai?

Pōhaku maoli: ʻO ka pōhaku hae a me ka pōhaku kula nā ʻano maʻamau o nā pavers pōhaku maoli. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi iā lākou ma ko lākou ʻano ʻokoʻa a me ka hoʻopau kūlohelohe.

Paʻakū: ʻO ka hapa nui o nā pavers i ka hoʻolālā ʻāina o kēia wā i hana ʻia me ke kaʻa i hui pū ʻia me ka aggregate. Hiki i kēia mea hoʻololi ke hana i nā pōhaku lepo ma nā ʻano kala a me nā ʻano.   

Nā ʻano Paver 101 

Let’s lay the foundations to help you understand and choose the best pavers. While they come in a dizzying array of styles, the key to distinguishing them is to look closely at their surface and edge. Each style usually has one of the three surface styles and one of three edges:   

Hoʻopau i ka ʻili 

palahalaha: ʻO kahi hoʻopau maʻemaʻe e nānā i ka nani a me ka nani. 

ʻāʻī: ʻO kahi ʻili like ʻole e hāʻawi i kahi hiʻohiʻona kūlohelohe. 

Mottled: ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻoi aʻe o ka wā kahiko, e like me nā alanui ma nā kūlanakauhale kahiko. 

Hoʻopau ʻo Edge

Hoʻopaʻa ʻia: ʻO ka maʻemaʻe loa o nā ʻaoʻao, ʻo kēia ʻano kāʻei liʻiliʻi i ka lepo ma waena o nā māwae.  

Poe ʻia: Nā ʻaoʻao pōʻai e like me ke ʻano o nā pōhaku i hoʻopaʻa ʻia. 

Nā ʻaoʻao kahiko: ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻoi aku ka ʻelemakule a me ka rustic, e like me ka cobblestone kahiko. 

Keeping these six features in mind, you can begin to see the main differences between each style. A “Holland” style, for example, is usually a rectangular brick with a dimpled surface and beveled edge, while a “Roman” brick has a mottled finish with worn edges. 

ʻO nā ʻano a me nā nui nā mea ʻē aʻe o kēlā me kēia ʻano. ʻO nā ʻano maʻamau huinahāhā a huinaha. Another shape you’ll often see is the zig-zagging sides of pili ana nā pōhaku lepo, i hoʻolālā ʻia e hoʻopaʻa paʻa no kahi ʻili paʻa. Hexagonal nā kiʻi, a i ʻole ka hui pū ʻana o nā ʻāpana a me nā hexagons, kaulana pū kekahi. ʻO nā koho kūikawā hou aku ka huinakolu brick a me ka I-ʻano. Hāʻawi kēlā me kēia ʻano i nā aesthetics like ʻole a me ka ikaika kaumaha.

ʻO ke kumu hoʻohālike āu e waiho ai i kāu mau pōhaku lepo e hoʻohālike i ka nani a me ka ikaika o kēlā me kēia ʻili. Eia nā hiʻohiʻona maʻamau o nā pavers rectangular:  

Hoʻopaʻa Paʻa: Hoʻomoe ʻia kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao i ka ʻaoʻao like a me ke kuhikuhi, e hāʻawi ana i kahi hiʻohiʻona maʻalahi a pololei.  

Ke holo nei ʻo Bond: E like me ka hoʻopaʻa paʻa, koe naʻe kēlā me kēia lālani lua e hoʻopili ʻia e ka hapalua pōhaku, no laila ua kūlike ka waena o kēlā me kēia pōhaku me nā wēlau o nā pōhaku ma lalo a ma luna. ʻOi aku ka ikaika o kēia ma mua o ka Stack Bond a hana maikaʻi no nā ala curved, patios, a me kekahi mau ala kaʻa. 

Uli hīnaʻi: Hōʻike kēia ʻano i ke ʻano o nā pōhaku lepo ʻelua i hoʻomoe ʻia a ukali ʻia e nā pōhaku lepo ʻelua. He mea kaulana ia ma nā pā hale, nā kīhāpai a me nā patio, akā ʻaʻohe ikaika e like me ka Running Bond.

Ke poʻo a i ʻole ka palena: Aia kēia ʻano i kahi lālani o nā pōhaku lepo i hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia a puni i waho o kāu hoʻolālā e hana i kahi palena. Hana maikaʻi ia me ka Basketweave. 

Pehea e kamaʻilio ai e pili ana i nā ʻano i ka wā e hana ai me kahi mea hoʻolālā
