Paths, Not Merely footrest
Eksterior July 19th, 2010
ROAD pathway is one component of a house which has a double function. Besides beautify the yard, a path also protects existing plants in the yard.
Original, a path was made so that pedestrians can walk comfortably without having to set foot into the ground or grass which can sometimes be very slippery and dirty. Therefore, a path alias is usually created as a stepping stone towards the signpost for pedestrians, it also protects the plant from the human foot pedal.
The trail is very pretty when placed in the yard or garden in your home, especially if the forms, pictures, and unique color. According to the landscape architect Diana Ambadar, a path is able to create harmony and peace for the nuances of the beholder. “In addition, a path also very useful because it can protect the yard in the wet and muddy conditions due to rain, for example. A garden path and keep your yard nice views, “said Diana.
Placing an additional stepping stone as an accent in the garden is a smart way. However, what should you prepare if you want your garden has a lovely trail? Make sure you have shadows that flow path will you adopt in the path. The regulation is very important because the trail should connect one area to another area. So not only as decoration. Suppose you have a fish pond. You can apply the path from the porch into the fish pond.
After that, specify size desired diameter path. “Ideally to step on, its size is approximately 18 inches,” says Diana. In addition, a path also has a variety of forms. There was a box-shaped, circular, semicircular, or oval. However, a general there in the yard of the house is shaped circle.
The trail has a variety of types. There is made of stone or cement, some made of wood and there are also made of ceramic coated with cement. Well, like what you want to select? Wood is good and beautiful. Garden and yard of the house will be impressed with the natural path of this type. Unfortunately, during the rainy season arrives, the path of this type are not resistant to excessive rain. Wood exposed to excessive water will be overgrown with moss. In addition, the wood will soften after a long time and destroyed if trampled on, because it is rotting due to excessive moisture.
Want to ceramic materials? May. Park by the trail of this type would indeed look elegant and luxurious. Especially if the ceramic has a beautiful color and complexion. However, the path of this type also has a drawback, which is once again in the rainy season, this path will feel slippery shower of rain hit. You do not want it to slip while walking on that path?
The path most “secure” is a cement-based. Besides not slippery when rain, no moss, as well as durable. However, be careful workmanship. Mixing cement is not an easy matter, because if the wrong path will crack if exposed to excessive heat.
How long is the road that you want to apply on the trail? Because by measuring the length of the road, you’ll know how much fruit a path that will be installed. The distance between the step path and another one not too far or too close together. Try your path before reinstalling. That way, the step-step distance footpath has the right step for you to walk.

It was likely the only form of terrace flat width of 1×2-meter room with a chair accent as a waiting room before the guest house owner opened the door. All forms of the terrace is made in accordance with the needs and habits of the homeowner.
Terrace could be in the front, rear, or side of a house. Placement terrace indirectly differentiate the functions of each type of the terraces. Terrace in front of main entrance to function more as a reception room, before the guests were admitted into the house, while more directed back porch into a family of personal space.

Not all houses have a parcel of land remaining at his side, which can be utilized for construction of a porch. Usually a house with large lots, but the field is used for building houses are not too broad, allowing terrace built beside his home.
Since the patio was half open space, planning and arrangement is different from other fields, such as the selection of supporting material and furniture selection. Additionally, because outside the field house, the porch was also part of the park. Therefore, the arrangement of a good garden around the patio will give importance to the overall appearance of the house
