A garden is the feature of the house that effectively describes to a visitor how fresh a person thinking is. According to the building law usually in chime with most places, 33% of a plot should be uncovered space, which means you can use one-third of your plot to make your very own spiritual heaven. Gardens can get a bit messy in wet seasons; the slippery mud can cause some unexpected accidents if you intend to enjoy your garden after rain or snow. Therefore a lot can be gleaned from your garden through a well managed garden paving.
The modern day construction and design practices have become rather confused. As the law states people leave at least 33%of their plot space open, and build their structure on the rest, the problem is that people do not take advantage of such a law, very few people decide to build a garden in the leftover space, and lets be straight, on 66% of built-able space they spend 95% of their financing and don't feel comfortable spending even 5% of their financing in making practical use of the rest of their plot, I would call it a waste of space.
For many people a garden can be a place of spiritual healing, of course you will remember the Japanese sand gardens. Being so close to nature and watching plants growing from of you can be very relaxing, but the effectiveness of a garden can be seriously limited due to lack of some well managed pathways, hereby people usually prefer paving because these provide friction to your shoes even after rain or snow and don't turn slippery in wet seasons.
A garden with a well designed layout not only gives you the comfort of living in a well planned atmosphere, it also makes things like maintenance easier. Pavements are to the garden just like veins are to your body; they allow the movement so crucial to survival of the garden.
Of course you would think twice before going to your garden right after snowfall if your garden does not have paved pathways. On the other hand a garden is never more beautiful than after a snowfall of rainfall.
With a little thought, garden paving can be used in different ways to redefine your garden experience, for instance a well placed paved floor in the garden can even allow you to appreciate your garden when it is at its prime, which is early in the morning or during snow or rain fall. In any case the loose mud in the garden tend to become slippery due to excess of water and unless your garden is equipped with paved pathways, going into your garden would be just like inviting accidents.
Paving stones come in different colors, sizes and textures, keep a close eye on your budget when shopping for some for they can become a bit pricey. Limestone, sandstone and granite are some of the most popular choices for garden paving; they come in varying colors and sizes and offer different life spans.
A creative person can usually take any of these pavements and come up with surprising results giving your garden a life of its own.
