You would like to create a parking space in the garden behind your house but a doubt assails you: is flooring to create to avoid that, at the first shower of water, everything turns into an impassable swamp, from which it will be very difficult to get out? The answer is only apparently simple: obviously one will have to be done draining flooring for external, but what kind? With what material?
Given a single (and also quite obvious) answer, there are many possible alternatives on how to achieve it. At “traditional” solutions to make outdoor flooring, in fact, in recent years some have been added which, in terms of cost/benefit ratio and environmental sustainability, are able to guarantee much better results.
We are referring, in particular, to surfaces in stabilized land and the use of lawn-saving grids to create the so-called “armed lawn”. In both cases it will be possible to create external parking in the garden with a more than reasonable expense and with a rather pleasant aesthetic impact. All with significantly shorter execution times than "traditional" alternatives.
Drainable paving for vehicles: which ones to use for parking in the garden
More and more often when we talk about draining outdoor flooring, stabilized earth and lawn guards are taken into consideration by both experts and homeowners. These two solutions, in fact, ensure a long series of advantages both on a practical, economic and aesthetic level.
- Stabilized earth, the advantages. Used mainly in suburban and rural contexts, stabilized earth is ideal for extraordinary maintenance of Strade Bianche and country roads in very poor condition. In urban areas, however, it is mainly used for the construction of avenues, cycle paths and squares of various kinds. It is therefore also suitable for use within private properties, allowing the creation of entrance avenues and external car parks with high mechanical resistance and high level of permeability. Ideal, in short, for an outdoor car park with draining paving, thanks to which you can easily enter and exit the home garden;
- Lawn saver grid, the advantages. Used to make land suitable for vehicles while maintaining the "lush green" effect of the turf, the lawn-saving grid is ideal for creating car parks both on large surfaces and on small areas (such as a home garden). Easy and economical to install, it guarantees excellent permeability and gives strength to the underlying ground, allowing you to create surfaces that are resistant even to the passage of heavy vehicles.
Outdoor parking in the garden: how to make stabilized earth
Creating an outdoor car park in the garden with stabilized earth is very simple. It is also possible to use stabilized material to make an avenue and a square material already present in situ, or use crushed stone, quarry material and recovered aggregates from demolitions. The most important step is the first: the creation of a homogeneous and thick substrate, which is then able to support the weight of the vehicular flow without deforming.
The fund must have one thickness between 25 and 40 centimetres and must be made with permeable materials (such as crushed stone or "recycled" aggregates and subsequently compacted with the use of suitable mechanical means. Subsequently it will be possible to lay the stabilized earth flooring, created using soils present in situ with environmentally friendly stabilizers like the products in the line Nature Stabil Road by Terra Solida.
This family of products is designed to create permeable outdoor paving eco-sustainable and 100% recyclable: the stabilizer, in fact, does not release toxic substances into the ground, thus avoiding compromising the underlying aquifers and allowing all the materials used to be recycled once the road and square have to be dismantled.
Outdoor parking in the garden: how to make a reinforced lawn
Le lawn-saving grills they are the cheapest solution for creating draining outdoor floors. In fact, they allow you to create a driveway lawn in a short time and with a limited financial outlay: it will only be necessary to create an excavation of about ten centimeters to create a permeable foundation suitable for hosting a green and lush lawn.
Once the substrate has been created - using sand to cover any holes and permeable material to prevent dangerous water stagnation from being created - it will be possible to lay the honeycomb structure necessary to "house" the soil and the turf. Plastic solutions like Garden Grid by Terra Solida Italia they are easy to install and offer the necessary resistance to support the weight and transit of vehicles of all kinds (even heavy vehicles).
With the company Garden Grid attachment system it will be possible to create the honeycomb structure even on large surfaces in a short time, so as to be able to move on to the laying phase of the soil and the subsequent planting of the grass. In this last phase it is necessary to choose soil suitable for planting and plants with long and solid roots, ideal for compacting the entire structure.
Good morning
We have a house in the mountains.
When it rains the parking space becomes a swamp.
I would like to know how to solve the problem by informing that in winter we pass the cutter when it snows
While waiting for your response, I send you my best regards
Gucci ion Giovanna
Dear Ms Giovanna,
Thanks for leaving a comment.
You will be contacted by the sales office to exchange further information
Good morning, I kindly ask: I need to make a car park on a green lawn and grow grass. I would like some advice. Thank you. Kind regards Ilario
Good morning Ilario and thank you for your question. The Garden Grid lawn guard is the best solution for those who want to park their car on the grass without problems. One of our technicians will contact you shortly to explain how to position it correctly and have a green and lush lawn. See you soon!
Hi, we would like to know if this could be a valid solution as we need to store the camper in a green area and when it rains it becomes a swamp
Grazie anticipatamente
Thank you Francesca for asking: is a draining floor a valid solution for a camper park? In fact, our technology may be the solution you are looking for. We will need to evaluate some soil characteristics together before providing you with a specific answer for your situation. You can contact us at: info@terrasolida.it and we will be happy to talk with you.
I ask for the (approximate) cost for the condominium I am in for a surface area of 70 x 5 metres?
Would this type of paving prevent the regrowth of weeds?
Thanks for the attention .
Good morning Francesco. Your kind request, for which I thank you, does not allow me to give you a precise answer considering that it is a flooring for which the type and thickness must be established and furthermore the geometry of the area on which it is intends to implement it, its accessibility, etc. So, considering that you are asking us for an "orientation" value, so as not to shy away from answering, I can give you a cost that varies between 30 and 40 euros per square meter. For further information, I invite you to contact us by telephone and ask for free advice from one of our sales technicians. See you soon!
THANK YOU
Good evening, on a green area partly owned by condominiums and partly owned by condominiums, I wanted to know if there was a solution to be able to park cars without carrying out excavations to prepare the subfloor.
thank you
Good morning Mariarosa and thank you for asking us for a solution for a condominium car park in a green area. In fact, there is a lot of data needed to define a timely response, however there are just as many possibilities for intervention. I invite you to contact us by writing to: info@terrasolida.it your request indicating the Province from which you are writing to us. You will be contacted by one of our officials who will be able to give you the information you need
