Nou fèk fèt yon nouvo patyo flagstone nan nou an lakou dèyè konnen li ta yon fason fonksyonèl ak senp pou mete ajou espas la. Nou te chwazi flagstone pou plizyè rezon, ki gen ladan durability li yo, kondisyon antretyen minimòm, ak fason li sanble ak eksteryè kay nou an.
Since we’ve installed our family-friendly patio, it has tremendously benefitted our family by creating a space where the kids can run and play and can be easily hosed off daily! We’re so excited for the backyard makeover, and we can now invite guests to sit around our fire pit while the kids play.
Are you considering new hardscaping for your patio or backyard? If you’re looking to create a flagstone patio or walkway, keep reading to learn why we installed natural cleft and cut Castle Grey flagstone in a French pattern.
Flagstone is a sedimentary stone that occurs when sediment layers harden, usually underwater. It is composed of layers of strata of sand, clay, or organic sediments. When you hear the term flagstone, think of it as an umbrella encompassing several different types of stone. You will find common varieties of flagstone like slate that is popular in interior spaces, bluestone that is frequently found in cooler climates, and castle grey that is often used in exterior spaces. I’m going to discuss my two favorite varieties next: Castle Grey Flagstone and Bluestone.
Castle Grey flagstone se net nan koulè ak limyè ble a nwa gri fonse. Li gen kwen koupe men ak yon sifas natirèlman inegal, ba li yon teksti bèl. Sa a kalite flagstone se antretyen ki ba anpil ak trè dirab.
Anvan mwen te kòmanse fè rechèch sou diferan kalite pave lakou, mwen te inyorans ke bluestone se yon kalite aktyèl nan flagstone. Panse a te trè konfizyon pou mwen. Sonje byen, gen anpil kalite flagstone ak bluestone se youn nan yo. Bluestone fòme lè patikil ki depoze nan rivyè, oseyan, ak lak yo fusion ansanm. Bluestone garanti yon gade intemporel, espesyalman nan mitan plant ak lòt vejetasyon.
Now that we’ve discussed flagstone and the several different varieties, it’s important to note that I vrèman te vle bluestone pou lakay nou. Lè mwen te kòmanse epingle foto enspirasyon, mwen te kole plizyè kay rèv ak patio bluestone. Nan pwen sa a, ou ka mande poukisa nou te chwazi castle gri flagstone sou bluestone. Mwen pèsonèlman renmen cham ak gade nan bluestone epi yo te toujou reve pou gen li nan lakou nou an. Sepandan, plizyè pwofesyonèl te avèti kont sèvi ak li nan yon klima cho paske li vin vrèman cho anba pye. K ap viv nan Charleston, South Carolina, nou gen plizyè mwa cho epi nou bezwen yon wòch ki zanmitay fanmi pou jwe nan lakou. Nou pa t 'vle enkyete sou flite li ak dlo pou refwadi li chak fwa nou te planifye ale deyò pou jwe oswa amize.
Epitou, lè w konpare lòt opsyon pave popilè pou pwojè patyo nou an, nou te jwenn ke plizyè yo slick lè mouye ki pa ta pi bon chwa pou timoun yo. Teksti natirèl la nan gri flagstone fè li mwens glise epi li se yon opsyon ki pi an sekirite pou fanmi nou.
