Color selection
Different shapes, colors and surfaces of pavers and slabs can be creatively combined and offer many ideal solutions for decorating according to your individual wishes and needs.
The color you choose when paving and decorating your yard will greatly contribute to the appearance of the outdoor space, so take a few tips into account:
- If you are decorating the driveway, the area around the pool, the path in the yard or the covered terrace, it is important to take into account the purpose of the space you are decorating. For all uncovered surfaces and necessarily for surfaces around the pool, we recommend an anti-slip finish, while for covered and closed spaces we recommend sanded panel treatment, which is easier to maintain.
- If you are complementing and connecting already existing paved units, instead of looking for a similar type of paving, our advice is to pay attention to complementary colors.
- Pay attention to the details of the garden, which are very important, as well as the architecture itself, exterior colors, fence, existing walls, general landscape and plants.
- Emphasize the details and add borders to the paving of the garden to achieve an eye-pleasing and interesting detail. If the added color matches the details of the facade, eaves, and slats, the landscaping project will give your garden a perfect look.
Selecting a scheme
An interesting scheme for installing the selected paving, whether you combine colors, different types of paving or slabs, with your wishes and ideas and our help will give your own and unique result. Given that most of Samoborka's products offer different possibilities of combining when laying samples, several things should be kept in mind:
- Consider the size of the project and the space and adjust the stacking scheme. Choose a pattern that matches the size and space intended for decoration. In general, smaller formats fit better in smaller spaces, while the reverse is true for larger formats. For a calmer and more relaxed experience, choose a pattern in one or at most two formats, while paying attention to the color. For smaller areas, use simpler and eye-pleasing schemes so that the design does not overemphasize the space. With large areas, the possibilities are much greater, and when stacking and combining pavers, the effect obtained by the choice of scheme and colors is not impaired.
- Consider delimiting and marking the space. The border adds a unique feature to the design, and can help define different areas (from outdoor to day, when delineating different levels, delimiting edges, defining pools, etc.). Think about boundaries when planning a project. Some patterns and schemes are easier or harder to fit into the embroidery, and therefore it is important to pay attention to that at the beginning. Depending on whether you want to calm the space or play with the borders, you will use more straight and sharp lines, or circular and rounded lines.
Emphasis on details
Just like when decorating the interior with tiles or some other elements, when decorating the garden, it is important to choose the main type of pavers and emphasize it by adding another type or special detail. Let your unique "touch" be:
- A border (one, two or more rows) that will help you divide the outdoor space of different uses
- Another color of pavers
- A carpet made of slabs or paving stones of another type, which you will use to emphasize a detail (e.g. dining area, around a fireplace or grill, etc.)
Landscape lighting contributes to the appearance of the garden and opens up the space by expanding its purpose. Additionally emphasize the edges of the promenade, the areas next to the swimming pools as well as the entrances and approaches to residential areas.
Maintenance
Correct performance of the substrate
With a properly executed substrate, water is not retained in the substrate and subsidence does not occur.
Prevention of weeds in joints
With a properly executed substrate, there is no soil under the pavers from which weeds grow. However, if the joints and joints are not filled and properly executed, it is possible that over time soil and garbage will be applied to the joints and joints in the empty space, which in this case allows weeds to take in and break out on the surface.
Maintenance in winter
Slabs and pavers better tolerate winter conditions and temperature changes than classic concrete. Properly installed, they resist weather changes during all four seasons and resist the appearance of cracks due to freezing. To avoid damage in winter, we recommend that you use plastic shovels when clearing snow.
