Cairns Paving Options For Outdoor Living
Paving your outdoor area is a great way to add some style and appeal to either around your house or in your garden. Whether that’s a patio, driveway or just an outdoor area around the house, It’s a great way to enhance your Cairns property. It’s also a good way to add some value to the house in a cost effective kind of way. Having a paved area in your Cairns property adds a lot of benefits, as we tend to spend a lot of time outdoors. So today we are going to take a look at some paving options and ideas you can implement into your Cairns garden area.
Paving around the house gives you many options for choice. You have a number of colours and styles available to choose from. When it comes to the type of pavers, meaning what they are made from, you have either a clay or a concrete paver. Not really something that’s really important. It’s just handy to know. Both pavers are very good and will hold up well.
So In this article we are going to take a look at your options for paving an outdoor area. And give you an idea as to what is possible for your Cairns home.
What’s there to think about when it comes to paving in Cairns. We’ll actually there’s a couple of choices you’ll need to make. The first being the colour, type and size of paver you want for the area you’ll be paving. Obviously you’ll want a paver that appeals to you and the look your going for. Are you after larger paver or smaller ones. Larger ones will most likely be a little more cost effective as you won’t have the labour expenses you would with putting down smaller ones. But again that comes down to the area your wanting to pave and they style and look. Sometimes you have too many options.
What Area Are You Paving
There’s another factor you’ll need to consider when choosing what type of paver to use. Although that’s where we come in. What sort of traffic will be going over the area in question? Pavers come in different thicknesses so depending on where the pavers are going to be layed you might look at a certain thickness. For example paving a driveway compared to a patio area. Two very different areas and you’d want to make sure the driveway pavers were thicker and stronger as there will be a lot of consistent heavy traffic using them everyday, as opposed to a patio or verandah, the traffic most likely will be just foot traffic.
Another consideration is the surface of the pavers. Some paving surfaces can actually be slippery when exposed to water. I was living a small country town where the council laid pavers along the shop front. But when it rained, far out it was slippery, and they had to remove them and lay down better ones as there were too many accidents. Although most of the pavers will be ok. Just keep that in mind.
