8 Fason yo sèvi ak Flagstone nan Landscaping-flagstones ou

Jis tankou flokon, pa gen de flagstones menm bagay la. Kòm yon pwodwi vre nan lanati, flagstone vini nan yon milyon diferan fòm, gwosè, ak koulè depann sou kote li soti. Divèsite enkwayab sa a ede pwopriyetè kay tankou ou kreye hardscapes ki vrèman inik. 

Different flagstones don’t only look different, though. They also have varying thicknesses, textures, levels of permeability, and uses. These durable, versatile unsung heroes of landscaping can be a part of just about any hardscape you could think of.

To help you narrow down the possibilities, we’ve come up with eight flagstone ideas to incorporate in your yard.

Ki sa ki flagstone?

Wòch natirèl se wòch sedimantè kraze an kouch epi yo itilize pou jaden. Gen anpil diferan kalite flo, tout ak karakteristik pwòp yo. Gen kèk varyete popilè yo enkli grè, kwatsit, bluestone, ak kalkè.

Pifò wòch yo vini nan youn nan de fòm:

• Koupe pave wòch nan rektang diferan gwosè ak kwen dwat ak liy pwòp.
• Wòch iregilye, wonn used for “crazy paving,” which means fitting those random shapes together for an informal, natural look. 

For either shape option, you can lay flagstones dry on a bed of sand or gravel (“dry-laid”) or use concrete (“wet-laid”). If you’re using thinner flagstones, it’s a good idea to lay them in concrete, as they sometimes crack easily when laid dry. 

Whatever kind of landscaping project you’re working on, the cost of flagstone is typically $15 to $20 per square foot. That price covers all the materials needed, including the stone itself and sand, gravel, or concrete. 

The price varies depending on what specific type of flagstone you use and whether it’s dry-laid or wet-laid. Dry-laid is typically cheaper because you won’t have to pay for concrete. 

8 Fason pou itilize Flagstone nan jaden ou

Now that we’ve covered the basics of flagstone, let’s get into our eight design ideas for using them in your landscape. 

1. Desine yon patyo wòch inik

Flagstones yo pafè pou zòn ki gen gwo trafik tankou patio paske teksti ki graj yo fè yo glise ki reziste. 

Ou ka fasilman vire patyo flagstone ou a nan yon espas k ap viv deyò lè w ajoute kèk mèb patyo ak yon tonèl oswa lòt kouvèti.

2. Gide envite yo ak yon pasaj wòch

Si timoun piti, fanmi ki aje, oswa lòt envite ki gen tandans fè twonpe yo souvan souvan lakay ou, ou ka kreye yon twotwa lis, dwat nan pave flo pito. 

As with flagstone patios, flagstone pathways are naturally slip-resistant because of the stone’s texture, so you won’t have to worry about your paths getting slick with rainwater.

3. jwenn kreyatif ak stepping stones

Pou fè wòch, espas wòch yo plizyè pous apa epi ranpli twou vid ki genyen yo pwa gravye, wòch larivyè Lefrat, oswa plant kouvri tè pou siprime move zèb. Ou ka itilize pave pou yon gade pi modèn tankou sa a oswa iregilye flagstones pou yon chemen jaden cottage-style. 

4. Konstwi yon miray soutni lè l sèvi avèk wòch 

Though people might not typically use flagstones as stone for retaining walls, it is an option. You can stack flagstones to create a low wall in your landscape. Just don’t try stacking them too tall. You know what happened to Icarus when he flew too close to the sun. 

Lè ou fè yon miray kenbe soti nan flagstones, ou ka swa pile yo sèk oswa itilize mòtye kenbe yo ansanm. Pou yon miray ki pi solid, ki dire lontan, ou ta dwe definitivman konsidere lè l sèvi avèk mòtye (menm si li ta ka fè pwojè ou a yon ti kras pi chè). 

5. Bord jaden ou ak wòch 

Bord jaden se tou senpleman yon fwontyè ki ale alantou kabann jaden flè ou a kenbe zèb deyò epi fè tout lakou ou gade pi poli. Yon fwa ankò, ou ka reyalize diferan sanble pou jaden ou oswa kabann flè lè l sèvi avèk diferan kalite flagstones. 

Pave yo pral fè jaden flè ou gade pi jeyometrik ak modèn, pandan y ap iregilye flagstones (tankou sa yo foto) ofri yon ayestetik pi sovaj, pi natirèl. Piske flagstones vini nan tout koulè diferan, ou ka jwenn sa yo ki pafè matche ak oswa kontras koulè yo nan plant ou yo.

6. Ajoute yon fwontyè Rustic alantou karakteristik dlo ou a

Flagstones are heavy enough to hold down liners for ponds and other similar water features, so they make great borders. Some types of flagstone are also permeable, which means they’ll absorb water instead of causing runoff if they get wet from your pond, waterfall, or fountain overflowing. 

 

 

Avèk pave wòch, ou ka kreye yon kwen dwat, pwòp pou yon ayestetik kontanporen, oswa ale ak wòch iregilye pou yon fwontyè serye ki melanje nan ak yon letan natirèl-style.

7. Upgrade pisin ou a ak yon pil pisin flagstone 

Because flagstones are slip-resistant, they’re the perfect material for pisin or hot tub decks, where friends and family will regularly run around barefoot. Some types of flagstone, such as sandstone, don’t absorb heat, so they won’t burn your feet, either. 

 

Epi ankò, wòch yo pèmeyab, kidonk, ou ka pwojeksyon yo tout sa ou vle san yo pa enkyete w sou ekoulman dlo ki inonde gazon ou. 

8. Kreye yon hangout brikabrak lannwit ak yon twou dife

If you’re thinking of bilding afire pit nan lakou ou, konsidere sèvi ak wòch pou kreye yon espas k ap viv deyò Rustic. Ou ka sèvi ak menm kalite ak koulè flagstone pou patyo/zòn syèj alantou twou dife a ak twou dife a tèt li pou yon gade san pwoblèm oswa itilize koulè kontras pou yon konsepsyon plis frape, edgy.
