How to make a garden walkable
How to make a walkable garden? In recent years, increasingly green and sustainable solutions have begun to spread, capable of guaranteeing an excellent result and, at the same time, respecting aesthetics and the environment. From lawn grates to architectural concrete, we discover the best solutions.
Make a walkable garden with architectural concrete
Il architectural concrete it is an outdoor covering designed with grit of various materials and different sizes. It is not only aesthetically beautiful, but also versatile, and it does not require particular maintenance. Thanks to this material it is possible to create a flooring with high mechanical resistance.
This solution is particularly suitable for creating pedestrian or vehicular access avenues in private gardens. Architectural concrete can be used, for example, to give life to the entrance to a villa in the countryside or to create a path in a private garden.
Even in the public sector, the potential of this material has begun to be appreciated. The architectural concrete, not at home, is increasingly used in the urban context to design pavements, rest areas or cycle paths. Not only that: the eco-compatibility of this material, combined with the use of sustainable materials, makes this an excellent choice for protected areas and archaeological sites.
Aesthetics and practicality, this material guarantees multiple advantages. First of all, it can be laid - only with a thickness of a few centimeters - directly on the surface, without excavating or creating foundations. The absence of any joints or depressions also allows us to design a flooring without deformation and continuous, capable of resisting atmospheric agents and with very high mechanical resistance (70% higher than traditional standards).
The use of quarry aggregates and other recycled grit helps to obtain external surfaces that are accessible to vehicles and sustainable, but above all 100% recyclable. The use of environmentally friendly materials it also allows architectural concrete not to release polluting substances. For this reason it is not dangerous for the soil and must not be disposed of as special waste.
If we look at aesthetics, however, architectural concrete guarantees a high degree of versatility. The use of smooth and colored gravels allows you to obtain unique and refined chromatic effects. Depending on your taste, the flooring can be matt or smooth and polished or satin, adapting it to your needs and tastes.
The products of the line Villa Fine Floor by Terra Solida Italia are ideal for creating economical outdoor flooring with a low environmental impact. By mixing natural aggregates, 100% sustainable and recyclable surfaces for vehicles and pedestrians will be obtained.
The walkable garden with the lawn guard
To create draining grass pavements or with decorative aggregate for cycle, vehicular or pedestrian use, the potential of gray lawn saver. Garden Grid by Terra Solida, for example, is an ecological grid, produced with materials deriving from renewable sources, designed and built to last over time and with high traffic frequency.
The semi-flexible honeycomb structure has a thickness of 5mm, a knurled anti-slip profile, a special horizontal armor and expansion joints that prevent deformation during the summer and winter seasons. The strengthening in four points for each element also allows it to be used even in unfavorable conditions.
Thanks to the lawn guard it is possible to create paths with a steep slope, exploiting the power of the anchor peg. In fact, Garden Grid does not attach to the ground, instead it relies on solid "click" joints that firmly join one structure to another, allowing for quick removal in the event of interventions underneath.
There is obviously no shortage of advantages. Yes it can reuse local soil, guaranteeing maximum environmental compatibility. The grid also offers a very high draining capacity, excellent resistance to vehicle maneuvering operations, resistance and very high durability. Finally, the installation operation is facilitated by the built-in expansion joints.
The gray lawn saver can be used in many situations. From cycle paths to pedestrian paths, passing through rural roads, forest roads, paths in parks and gardens, and cemetery roads. It is perfectly suited for use in sports facilities, play areas, car parks, squares and archaeological sites.
