在景观设计中使用石板的 8 种方法-石板

就像雪花一样，没有两块石板是相同的。作为大自然的真正产物，石板有上百万种不同的形状、尺寸和颜色，具体取决于其产地。这种令人难以置信的多样性可以帮助像您这样的房主打造真正独特的硬景观。 

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.

什么是石板？

天然石板是碎成层的沉积岩，用于景观美化。有很多不同的 石板的种类，各有特色。一些流行的品种包括砂岩、石英岩、青石和石灰岩。

大多数石板有两种形状：

• 切 铺路石 大小各异的矩形，边缘笔直，线条清晰。
• 不规则圆形宝石 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. 

在景观设计中使用石板的 8 种方法

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

1. 设计一个独特的石板露台

石板非常适合露台等人流量大的区域，因为其粗糙的质地使其具有防滑作用。 

您可以通过添加一些露台家具和 凉亭 或其他掩护。

2. 用石板路引导客人

如果您家经常有小孩、年长的亲戚或其他容易绊倒的客人，您可以用石板铺成一条光滑、笔直的人行道。 

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. 发挥创意，打造垫脚石

要制作踏脚石，请将石板间隔几英寸，并用 豌豆砾石, 河石或地被植物来抑制杂草。您可以使用铺路砖来打造更现代的外观，如这个，或使用不规则的石板来打造小屋风格的花园小径。 

4. 用石板建造挡土墙 

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. 

当您用石板建造挡土墙时，您可以将其干堆放或使用砂浆将它们粘在一起。为了使墙更坚固、更耐用，您绝对应该考虑使用砂浆（即使这可能会使您的项目稍微昂贵一些）。 

5. 用石板铺砌花园边缘 

花园边缘 只是围绕景观花坛的边框，用于挡住杂草，让整个院子看起来更加整洁。同样，您可以使用不同类型的石板为您的花园或花坛打造不同的外观。 

铺路砖将使您的景观看起来更具几何感和现代感，而不规则的石板（如图所示）则提供更狂野、更自然的美感。由于石板有各种不同的颜色，您可以找到完美的颜色来匹配或对比您的植物的颜色。

6. 在水景周围添加质朴的边框

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. 

 

 

使用石板铺路砖，您可以创建笔直、干净的边缘以获得现代美感，或者使用不规则的石板来打造与自然风格的池塘融为一体的可靠边界。

7. 用石板泳池甲板升级你的游泳池 

Because flagstones are slip-resistant, they’re the perfect material for 游泳池 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. 

 

而且，石板是透水的，所以您可以随意泼水而不必担心水流淹没您的草坪。 

8. 用篝火坑打造舒适的夜间聚会场所

If you’re thinking of 建筑愤怒坑 在您的后院，可以考虑使用石板来打造质朴的户外生活空间。您可以在火坑周围的露台/座位区和火坑本身使用相同类型和颜色的石板，以获得无缝的外观，或者使用对比色以获得更引人注目、更前卫的设计。
