Paving is a very important landscaping element that enables easy pedestrian or
vehicular movement inside the various garden areas. depending upon the nature of movement (pedestrian or vehicular) the paving material will change because the type of
pressure required to bear by the paving material will be different in different cases. Landscaping pavers can be of 4 basic types brick, stone, concrete and gravel |

1) Brick Landscaping Pavers - Brick is a very common and popular material used in a variety of civil projects. because of its
convenient size and weight it is easy to work with. Its porous nature allows water to easily drip in and prevent pools of
water that can be dangerous to health. Brick also has its own wonderful texture and color which is surprisingly in
contrast with green color found in nature. 2) Stone Landscaping Pavers - Stone pavers are widely used in the form of tiles that can be laid on a base of gravel or slurry. Joints can be filled with cement for smoother finish. The biggest advantage of stone paving is that it can be polished to any degree to form a mirror finish so that the entire environment looks rich. Stone also has a larger load carrying capacity that brick but required mush more skilled labor to work with. 3) Concrete Landscaping Pavers - Concrete pavers are used in the form of small interlocking blocks that can be laid on a gravel bed by hammering using a wooded hammer. Because of their interlocking nature they do not slide away from their position and their laying is extremely fast. 4) Gravel Landscaping Pavers - gravel itself is a reduced form of stone so is very effective where pedestrian movement is necessary. Because of their rounded natural gravel it forma a good grip for walking purposes and can be laid quickly. Multicolored stones in the gravel creates inters in the final texture of the pathways. |
