Here are some ways that outdoor spaces can be redefined: 

 

For example, for fun-in-the-sun afternoons a swimming pool would give the right value addition to your backyard. The space can be embellished and separated with textured and mosaic tiles, appropriate lighting, and scattered plantations for a relaxing feel. 

 

An area can be reserved for celebrating occasions and enjoying dining experiences, this space may also include a lower firepit and a mini kitchen setup if suitable for hosting those BBQ parties.

Trained professionals assisting Condell Park’s paving contractors dedicate time and effort to thoroughly research and develop a strategy for all projects, regardless of their size, you can always count upon them with your landscaping requirements. 

Using the materials in the right way!

There are many varieties of pavement materials such as marble, ceramic, slate, granite, stone, and porous pavements.  

 

Porous pavements have gained popularity recently due to their eco-friendly impact. It is made with various types of aggregate materials along with a binder to hold them all together and engineered usually in the form of an underlying, open-graded stone bed.  

 

As the water drains through the porous layer it removes 99% of the harmful toxins and returns the clean water to the ground below thus recharging the water table, and reducing the overall heating effect on Earth. 

 

Here are some details about the pavement materials available to you: 

Marble: adding glory to your space  

Marble is found in the graceful design of veining patterns and attractive colours, from pure white to soft creams and warm greys. Bluestone marble is attracting the market specifically for its extra strength and easy wipe-clean surface. They are known for their cost effectiveness, durability, and longevity, making them a practical choice for outdoor applications, being widely used in lining patios, driveways, and walkways.  

Limestone: Sophistication and Grace 

It is a versatile material with its soft colours and subtle textures. It is a hard-wearing material and is the oldest construction material used to build the pyramids of Giza. The cost-effectiveness and low maintenance is an added advantage.  

 

Since it subtly complements any outdoor space, from patios and pathways and garden walls, this is a sustainable option. 

Travertine Paving: durable and resilient 

This is a porous stone, showing increased durability and affordability than limestone. It's highly recommended by expert Condell Park's paving contractors since it exhibits high resistance to heat and has easy installation procedures. It adds a natural aesthetic look to properties. 

Granite: Everlasting strength and Elegance 

The greatest appeal of using granite is its aesthetic pleasing. The unique colouring coming from its natural formation, makes it appear more vibrant when compared to other materials like concrete.  

 

Flamed granite paving stones are the best options to be used around pool areas since they resist slips. With their robust nature and enduring beauty, it has become really popular.  

Concrete vs stone paving:  

While both concrete and stone paving is great for areas that have heavy foot traffic and serve as durable material for harsh weather conditions, stone masonry has endless possibilities for intricate designs with contrasting colors and textures.  

 

A recent style that uses handcrafted stonework is called ‘crazy paving’. Its beauty lies in its untamed and irregular layout shaped from naturally broken stones, giving an extraordinary look to outdoor pavings at many offices and households in Australia. 

 

The PebbleLock is a modern non-tech innovation used to redefine your landscape areas such as garden paths, patios, driveways, etc. It's a plastic mat that is designed to stabilize pebbles, stones, or granite chips and will save you the hassle of cleaning up the drifted fragments all the time. Moreover, its mesh structure allows water to soak away and prevents ponding.
