Install a flagstone path and bless your yard with distinction
Although the property developers do an excellent job designing the villas, there is always something you can add to give your home a personal touch. It has been observed that villas featuring a flagstone pathway are quite popular among people these days. If you think that your lawn can do with this distinct feature, here are a few things you need to consider while installing it.
The first point you need to consider is to decide what kind of a flagstone pathway you desire for your lawn. If your heart is set upon a formal looking elegant landscape, get your flagstones cut in a rectangular shape. Such flagstones can really give an elegant feeling to your lawn and make it a place you would want to visit with your office colleagues and business partners. Further ideas complementing such a style may feature theses stone tiles laid in an interesting combination with grass patches. A straight path through the lawn and leading towards swimming pool, sporting rectangular stones, can cast a sophisticated and classic look on your green area.
While choosing flagstones, consider the ones that are made of the sturdiest material and ensure it’s non-slippery and durable. This is because you can use these flagstones as a base of your washer & dryer should you choose to do your laundry outdoors. You can also consult a professional landscaper and hire a constructor for the installation process. If your villa is being maintained by some private developer, make sure that you have developer’s permission in making changes to the lawn. Same goes if you are renting, just ask the landlord and save yourself from hassle. We honestly don’t need such negativity in our lives, do we?
If you want to unleash the artist within you and tell your friends what you are capable of, we think that your front lawn landscaping, featuring a curved path twirling like tendrils could be just what you need. You can also use coloured flagstones featuring bright shades like yellow, brown or even red to mark distinction. Try irregular shaped flagstones for a more casual and rather interesting look. This is because life is not regular, there are always ups and downs in our lives and mostly things don’t happen the way we plan them to. In such instances irregular shaped flagstones can cast a good effect on your lawn.
Flagstone pathways are ancient concepts but they look quite appealing to beholders. If installed properly, they can really add value to your property. Such add-ons to gardens coupled with some other added features such as lightings and patio always make the outdoors more welcoming. Flagstone paths also go with barbeque pits made of stone. Before you get into installing them, get the earth quality of your garden tested. You don’t want your flagstones sinking in the earth or disappearing in the grass. Try these tips and give your lawn a good make-over. We are sure you will like the results. Good luck!
