Crazy paving is a fun way to arrange stones, bricks, or concrete in a mix-and-match style, making outdoor areas like patios and garden paths look cool and creative.
In modern landscaping, crazy paving is used as a special feature in big outdoor spaces. Instead of covering everything with it, designers use it in certain spots to make them stand out. For instance, they might make a round crazy paving patio surrounded by neat bricks, making it a real attention-grabber. Mixing crazy paving with other materials like concrete or wood makes the whole space look trendy and classy, with a touch of old-school charm. It's a neat trick to make the whole design look both fancy and fun.
Methods to join Crazy Paving:-
The easiest is using wet grout or slurry. But for rough stones or certain slates, this might not work well. In those cases, you might need to do hand-pointing, which takes more time.
For cement mortars, adding a strengthening additive like SBR helps the mortar stick better to the paving. It's important to fill the joints tightly without leaving any gaps. Using a darker mortar makes the paving look better than plain mortar.
After joining, make sure the top of the joint is smooth with the pavement surface. Some people like a 'struck' joint, where the outline of the paving piece is marked with a trowel. But this can gather debris and weeds over time.
