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 kufikia sura nzuri bila kuvunja benki?
Kuna chaguzi gani za kutengeneza lami?
Zege 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, kutengeneza mawe ya mchanga bei ni ya kushangaza chini, ambayo inamaanisha unaweza kuunda bustani yako ya ndoto kwa sehemu ya gharama ya nyingine aina za kutengeneza mawe ya asili.

Je, ni njia gani mbadala za kuweka lami?
Njia mbadala ya bei nafuu ya kutengeneza ni lami. Ni sugu zaidi kwa hali ya hewa ya baridi na ni ghali kuitengeneza lakini simiti ni ngumu zaidi kuvaa.
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.
Kwa patio mbadala maarufu ni kupamba lakini hii inaweza kuwa ghali zaidi kuliko kusema, mchanga na sio rahisi kutunza.
Kwa nini unapaswa kuchagua kutengeneza kwa nafasi yako ya nje?
Ingawa kuweka lami ni ghali zaidi kuliko njia mbadala kwa ujumla ni ngumu zaidi kuvaa, kuonekana bora na itakuwa na maisha marefu zaidi. Mawe ya mchanga yanaonekana vizuri zaidi kadiri yanavyozeeka na vibandia vingi vya mawe vya asili ni rahisi kufanya kazi navyo.
Jinsi ya kuchagua paving sahihi
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.
Wakati wa kuchagua lami yako unahitaji kujiuliza nini itakuwa lengo lake kuu. Je, ni kwa ajili ya barabara kuu, 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?
Hatimaye, mtindo wa nyumba yako unaweza kuamuru chaguo lako. Aina ya kutengeneza unayochagua kwa jengo la kisasa hakika itakuwa tofauti na mali ya vijijini, ingawa hakuna sheria. Ukumbi wa kisasa wa chic unaweza kuonekana mzuri dhidi ya mali ya zamani.
