What are the common paving methods used in landscaping?
(1) Landscape sintered bricks – vacuum bricks
A. High compressive strength and excellent durability; sintered at high temperatures, resulting in large dimensions.
B. The product features a diverse surface texture, stable and long-lasting color, natural color variation, soft tonality, and excellent fade resistance.
C. Convenient construction and maintenance.
D. Its unique moisture-absorbing and -releasing properties can help regulate the microclimate of the residential community.
E. A sand cushion is required; the surface is prone to dusting in the early stages and can be cleaned.
(2) Landscape sintered brick – geotechnical brick (terracotta brick)
A. Culture and Environmental Protection: Garden sintered bricks are a classic material for expressing the style of traditional Chinese culture. Primarily composed of clay, these bricks undergo high-temperature firing at over 1,000°C, which effectively sterilizes and disinfects them; consequently, they are non-radioactive and safe and environmentally friendly.
B. Comfort and Durability: Landscape sintered bricks feature moisture-absorbing and -releasing properties: the pores throughout the brick body absorb moisture at night and release it during the day, helping to maintain a relatively humid microclimate. These bricks are resistant to wind and rain, fire-retardant, colorfast, and exhibit the best frost resistance of all paving materials.
C. Practicality and Value Appreciation: Non-slip and water-resistant, preventing water accumulation. While the initial investment in landscape sintered bricks is relatively high, their value-preserving and appreciating qualities only strengthen over time as they stand the test of a century.
(3) Concrete art flooring:
A. Low cost, easy installation, high formability, excellent durability, and versatile aesthetics (achieved through dyeing, painting, and etching techniques).
B. A wide variety of pattern styles: small pebbles, rainflower stones, mother-and-child rainflower stones, wood grain, fossil series, textured designs, slate tiles, London pebbles, fan-shaped patterns, granite, cobblestones, and permeable colored stone series.
C. Construction Process Flow: Pouring concrete — Leveling the concrete — Spreading hardening material — Troweling and finishing — Spreading release agent — Compacting the surface — Washing followed by application of a protective coating — Finished product
D. Finished concrete bricks have a moderately rough surface and come in a variety of colors.
E. New-type permeable concrete pavement: a key technology for sponge cities, offering drainage, skid resistance, sound absorption, and noise reduction; it can enhance surface ecological cycling, improve traffic safety, protect the living environment, and mitigate the adverse impacts resulting from large-scale modern urban development.
(4) Asphalt concrete: It possesses sufficient strength, a smooth and stable surface free of joints, dust, and glare, thereby ensuring safe high-speed traffic. However, asphalt pavements can pollute surrounding land and groundwater, and the natural decomposition and degradation of asphalt can take several decades.
