Fa'ato'a ma Ala savali: O le a le mea e iloa-ma'a

O se auala ma'a fu'a e ta'ita'iina saogalemu oe i totonu o se fale, a'o fa'atosina oe e se patio po'o se ala i fafo, i luma po'o tuafale. Fu'a fa'aopoopoina le tumau, malosi, ma le tumau i se laufanua fa'atasi ai ma le fatuina o se natura hardscape elemene i se vaega atonu e na'o le aofia ai o la'au, po'o le softscape.

Part of the appeal of flagstone is its versatility: it can be cut into uniform rectangular shapes or more random, irregular pieces that can be arranged like a puzzle. Unlike other stones, a roughened surface texture offers good, safe traction—especially when wet—making them an ideal choice for outdoor flooring.

Uiga maa Fu'a

O tufuga faufale, faufale, ma faufale e fa'amatala ma'a i ituaiga fa'afanua, igoa tau fefa'ataua'iga, lapo'a, po'o foliga. O ma'a fu'a o ma'a lapopo'a mafolafola e oloina i le mafiafia o le 1 i le 3 inisi. O se ma'a palapala, e masani ona fai i ma'a oneone. E masani ona maua i lanu mumu, lanumoana, ma enaena-samasama. O se oloa o le natura, e leai ni maa se lua e tutusa lelei.

O isi ituaiga ma'a ta'uta'ua mo le fa'aleleia o fanua e aofia ai ma'a masani, ma'a tipi, ma'a la'au, maa veneer, ma iliili nutimomoia pe lapotopoto.

Fa'aaogaina o le Fu'a

Mafaufau e faʻaaoga maʻa fuʻa e le itiiti ifo i le 1-1/2 inisi le mafiafia e pei o maʻa tuʻu poʻo fola o le patio. Faatasi ai ma le mea mulimuli, o maʻa fuʻa e mafai ona tuʻu saʻo i le palapala poʻo se moega oneone. E tatau ona iai ni papa manifinifi taatia i le sima susu po'o le sima e puipuia ai le ta'e pe a laa i luga. E mafai ona faatumu avanoa i le va o le ma'a fu'a e le masani ai pea iliili, polymeric oneone, po'o le ufiufi eleele laau pei Taimane o penina, laumei fetolofi, ma mutia mondo dwarf.

A tu'u le ma'a fu'a i se mamanu fa'apipi'i fufusi po'o se mamanu, e fa'aoga le sima e fa'atumu ai su'iga ma va. Fa'apipi'i fasi fasipepa fa'atasi ma le fa'aogaina o le sima e maua ai se fa'alelei, sili atu le fa'alelei, lea e lelei mo patios.

Ma'a Fu'a mo Pa

Although not traditionally thought of as a wall material, flagstone can be stacked to create a natural-looking low wall. Available in a wide range of colors—from white sandstone to black slate—flagstone can blend with other surfaces and hardscape elements in a landscape. Flagstone walls can be built dry-stacked or mortared. Advantages of mortar, which is like glue that holds stones together, include:

• E mafai ona fausia i ni avanoa laiti e manaʻomia ai se puipui
• E lelei mo vaega e mana'omia ni puipui malosi ma tumau
• E fa'amalosia atili ai le tu sa'oloto ma puipui puipui

Auala e Filifili ai Fu'a

Asiasi i se lotoa ma'a i le lotoifale e su'e ai mea o lo'o avanoa ma mea e te mana'o e sili ona manaia mo lau galuega fa'apitoa. O le mea lelei e uiga i le filifilia o maʻa mai se faʻalapotopotoga faʻapitonuʻu e sili atu ona faʻafefiloi ma le siosiomaga ma o le a avanoa pe a uma. Afai e te filifili e fau ni mea fa'aopoopo i fafo, o na ma'a po'o vaega tutusa o le a maua i lau fa'atau fa'apitonu'u.

Talu ai e masani ona faʻaaogaina maʻa fuʻa mo fola, mafaufau i ituaiga o gaioiga o le a faia i luga o le fogaeleele aʻo leʻi faʻatupeina. Mo auala i luma, mafaufau po o ai e ono savali i luga o na maa fu'a. So'o se aiga o lo'o feoa'i po'o nofoa fa'ata'avalevale? O se lamolemole ma tutusa ala o le a fa'afaigofie atili ai le savali mai le auala po'o le fa'alava i lou ulufale i luma. O nisi 'a'ai e iai fa'ailoga faufale e mana'omia mo le fa'afaigofie ona ulufale ma ulufale.

O tuafale e mafai ona sili atu ona masani ma fatufatuaʻi, faʻatasi ai ma fuʻa e vaʻavaʻavaʻa e ala i luga ole eleele maualalo poʻo iliili pi nai lo le sima poʻo le sima. Afai o le ma'a fu'a e mo se fa'apaologa, so'o se meafale e nofo i luga o le ma'a e tatau ona mafolafola, e tutusa ma mautu.
