Who hasn’t been spending more time in their garden? Whether it’s for a socially distant get together or to flex those green fingers. Even if the Covid-19 pandemic had never come on the scene, our gardens were already transforming into something more like an extension to the home with areas for dining, entertaining and cooking. With this multifunctionality comes the need to divide the garden into ‘areas’ hence the importance of paving. Of course if money is no object you can pave your garden with the most beautiful, durable natural stone on the market but many of us have to stick to a budget and if that’s a bit on the small side then how can you oppnå et flott utseende uten å sprenge banken?
Hvilke muligheter for asfaltering er det?
Betong is the go-to for cheaper end paving as you can choose from a variety of different colours, styles, textures, and even sizes of concrete slabs. Concrete is the perfect material if you want to ‘get the look’ for example, it can be made to look like brick on a driveway or you can use larger slabs for a clean, contemporary look. But don’t think that natural stone is out of your reach if you are working to a budget. Despite the fact that it is a fantastic quality, sandsteinsbelegg prisene er overraskende lave, noe som betyr at du kan lage din drømmehage for en brøkdel av prisen for andre typer natursteinsbelegg.

Hva er alternativene til asfaltering?
Et billig alternativ til asfalt er asfalt. Det er mer motstandsdyktig mot kaldt vær og er rimeligere å reparere, men betong er langt mer slitesterkt.
For driveways you can use gravel which is also a good alternative if you have problems with drainage. You could keep costs down by using pavers to edge the drive or pathway, And for a more stable path choose sharp-edged gravel that is labelled 1/4-inch minus. Pieces of that gravel type fit snugly together as they won’t move about so much.
Another cost-conscious alternative is poured concrete, although if you suddenly have more money to spend and want to invest in stone pavers instead it’s quite difficult to remove.
For terrasser er det populære alternativet terrassebord, men dette kan være dyrere enn for eksempel sandstein og ikke like lett å vedlikeholde.
Hvorfor bør du velge asfaltering til uterommet ditt?
Selv om asfaltering er litt dyrere enn noen alternativer, er den generelt mer slitesterk, ser bedre ut og vil ha lengre levetid. Sandstein ser bedre ut etter hvert som den eldes, og de fleste natursteinsbeleggere er enkle å jobbe med.
Hvordan velge riktig asfaltering
Budget is important, especially if you have a huge project that is going to be used a lot. In that case it’s perhaps prudent to consider how much it will cost in the long term. Sometimes spending more at the outset will save you money over time.
Når du velger din asfaltering, må du spørre deg selv hva som vil være hovedformålet. Er det for oppkjørselen, patio, a garden path, or a poolscape? The type of paving you choose will also depend upon where it’s going to sit within your garden. Will it get a hammering from the elements? Or be at risk of oil drips from motor vehicles?
Til slutt kan stilen til hjemmet ditt diktere valget ditt. Den type asfaltering du velger for en moderne bygning vil absolutt være forskjellig fra en landlig eiendom, selv om det ikke er noen regler. En elegant, moderne uteplass kan se flott ut sammen med en eldre eiendom.
