Stone slabs in the garden have great appeal. Here is some basic information about using natural stone outdoors.
Stone slabs in the garden – tips and useful information
Stone slabs in the garden are mainly used as flooring for patios. The price varies according to the type of natural stone. Local dealers and local stone types can help you save money. The thickness of the stone is important and should match the intended use. If you want to create a stone path, you need slabs at least 5 cm thick. Choose wide, long stone tiles because they are more durable and suitable for the garden. If you want to lay a natural stone patio, buy slabs that are at least 60 cm wide.
Stone slabs in the garden – possibilities
How many slabs do you need? Ask the seller how much area one pallet of stone slabs covers, for example 9 square meters. For an 18-square-meter terrace, divide 18 by 9; you will need two pallets. If you want to build a bench from natural stone, we recommend hiring professionals, since these projects require experience.
If your garden is on a slope, or if you want to divide the garden into several visual areas, you can build a retaining wall. For this kind of project, ask your local municipality about the rules: high walls may require a permit and should be designed by an architect. These projects must be planned in detail because an unstable retaining wall is a serious danger. Fireplaces with stone slabs in the garden have a natural look. The firebox is lined with refractory materials, while the exterior is covered with stone slabs.
