Three materials make the garden floor shine.

Stepping into the garden, or the regular or chaotic ground "pattern" can always bring us surprises. These different ground landscapes depict different courtyard atmospheres, but which one is suitable for your own courtyard? We might as well know the performance, effect and price of the materials first, so that your yard can be built with half the effort!

1 brick-the most economical choice

Advantages: low price and easy construction.

Disadvantages: limited styles, suitable for rural style.

Budget: 20- 150 yuan/m2.

The varieties of brick are red brick, sintered brick and cement brick. Red brick is brittle, so it is not used much, but it will be a better and cheaper choice in some rural areas or places with little budget. Some people spread perforated red bricks on the floor, which also has a very good effect. Cement bricks are the most widely used, some of which are permeable bricks, and there is no water accumulation after rain. It has good environmental protection. Cement brick is very durable, and the price is low, about tens of dollars per square meter. Purple clay brick and sintered brick have the best effect but are also the most expensive, about per square meter 100-300 yuan. In addition, in some semi-outdoor environments, you can also choose some ceramic-fired floor tiles with quaint style, wood effect, pebble texture and other appearances, only 20 to 30 yuan per square meter, but you should pay attention to choosing varieties with good surface anti-slip effect.

Bricklaying can also solve many landscape design problems and make the yard more beautiful and practical.

In a dry and cool place, you can build bricks or install seats in the open space where vegetation is not easy to grow under trees, but be careful not to hurt the roots when building bricks, otherwise it will affect the growth of trees.

The path that I often take is simply paved with bricks where the dirt road is trodden out.

Where there are no bright spots, a large area of grassland is endowed with new ideas. A path is paved with bricks, and fountains, benches, outdoor tables and chairs, statues and so on are set up. The side can increase the focus of the landscape.

Reinforcing the ground with bricks under the benches in the seating area can prevent the danger brought by wet soil.

In neglected places, some useless corners can be paved with bricks, and small landscapes or seats can be set up to reuse the wasted side yards or corners.

2 wood-the softest texture

Advantages: mild and natural texture.

Disadvantages: Not as durable as stone.

Budget: 70-800 yuan/m2

The wood is very friendly, whether it is a modern courtyard or a classical, pastoral garden or even a terrace. At present, there are many kinds of outdoor floors. If your garden is located in the dry north, you can use materials such as Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica and Pinus koraiensis are laid directly, and the surface is protected with tung oil or wood wax oil. You can also go to the building materials supermarket to buy Nordic anticorrosive wood. It is suggested to paint the surface with anticorrosive wood oil, change the color and cover the original green color, and the effect will be better. Otherwise, the green anticorrosive wood will turn light gray after a long period of wind, rain and sun, and lose the texture of the wood, but it has an ancient and natural charm after weathering, which is also very popular abroad. There are also several kinds of natural antiseptic wood, such as Chinese fir and balao wood. However, because pine belongs to cork, its surface is not compressive and scratch-resistant. If the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to use balao wood. Although the price is relatively high, around 680 yuan per square meter, the surface texture of this Southeast Asian hardwood is very good. Balao's wood materials are hard, and the construction is slightly more difficult, so professional manufacturers should be selected for cutting and installation.

Try different effects.

A type of text

The paving effect is atmospheric, and the smooth line sense can also play the role of visual extension, making the small garden or terrace look more spacious. Embedded pavement requires higher plates, so it is best to choose high-quality balao wood.

Tian word

The field shape gives people a variety of aesthetic feelings, but also gives people a heavy and dense sense of feet. You can choose a plank pavement with a length of about 1 m, or you can buy outdoor boards that can be spliced in the building materials market and assemble them yourself.

Cross seam type

This kind of laying method is unique and needs suitable terrain. This model consumes a lot of wood, is difficult to lay, and needs more man-hours, so it is necessary to make an adequate budget in advance.

Arc type

Arc lines reflect the unique beauty of rhythm and modeling, which can increase the movement of courtyard space, but it should be noted that this paving method is costly and the cost will increase accordingly.

3 stone-the most durable performance

Advantages: good durability, diverse materials and strong selectivity.

Disadvantages: expensive.

Budget: 20- 1000 yuan/square meter

Among many natural stones, granite is the most widely used, because it has many color choices and high hardness, and it is an ideal choice for decorating floors and walls. Among stone materials, marble is brittle and generally does not need to be paved. Shale is a cheaper choice among stone materials, with rich colors such as green, black, gray, red and yellow to choose from. Warm colors are more expensive than cool colors. In addition, sandstone is also commonly used. Sandstone does not belong to granite. It has many colors, soft texture and good feel, so it is favored by more and more people. You can also use sandstone to make broken pieces according to your own needs, and the price is about 20-300 yuan/square meter.

Fresh assembling effect of stone materials

Stones and gravel

The combination of gravel and stone can bring unique visual effects, and gravel can replace cement to increase joints and increase liveliness.

Stone and grass

Planting grass between stones or paving stones on the lawn can weaken the hard and cold feeling of stones, and the soft combination of stones and lawn can increase the interest of the courtyard.

Stone and wood

Using different floor paving materials to divide functional areas not only increases the layering of the courtyard, but also improves the comfort. Laying warm-footed wooden floor in the rest area and durable stone in the atrium or outdoor kitchen can reduce the trouble of daily care.
