Build a strong foundation for outdoor patios and pathways


At A Green Future we have high standards  when it comes to solid base for paving stone surfaces to avoid future interlock maintenance or interlock repair costs and low paver patio restoration. 
In addition it will for sure keep weeds down or even prevent weeds and keep the pathways or your patio level to avoid any future water damage or yard drainage. 
As A Green Future founder always explains if you have a good base, it ends up being low-maintenance for decades to come in Calgary landscaping construction. You will not need to be pulling up paving stones and re-leveling them, and you won't have to be weeding the yard.


 Establish a solid base for stone surfaces to avoid fix-ups later. If you are planning a stone patio, lay a six- to eight-inch layer of compacted pea stones first. "It will prevent weeds and keep your patio level," says Chris. "If you have a good base, it ends up being low-maintenance for decades to come. You won't have to be weeding things, pulling up stones, and re-leveling them."


 has a dense composition that makes it incredibly durable. Despite its name, the versatile stone comes in a variety of colors such as blue, brown, gray, and orange. "It's a natural stone and it feels great when you're walking around barefoot, which I love to do all summer long," says Chris. For a less expensive option, consider crushed stone such as pea stone or white stone.

Lawn:
 The lawn is the big offender when it comes to maintaining a garden. It requires regular mowing, feeding, weeding etc. The first thing we consider is to get rid or reduce the lawn. If the lawn is to stay use mowing edges ( mowing pavers)  to reduce the maintenance further.

Landscaping fabric ( weed block )/mulching:

Second to removing grass this is a brilliant way of reducing maintenance in planted borders. First lay a good quality geo-textile ( Landscaping fabric ) around your plants and secure with U wire pins. Then cover with 4-6 inches  layer of mulch creating a second barrier and reducing weeding by up to 90%. Mulch alone can be used but you must achieve a depth of at least 6 inches over all areas.

Edges:

 The edges are a very important component to low maintenance garden design. Like patios and pathways they form the skeleton of the garden. They help define a space and give definition. It is the border between grass, gravel, paving etc., that create a bed and offer contrast. Mowing edges in the lawn help reduce maintenance by allowing easy cutting of grass and holding a strong edge.

Planting: 

Low maintenance will be achieved by correct plant selection. To thrive plants like certain conditions and if positioned correctly will need less care. Shrubs should be given precedence over needy perennials. Native plants should be considered where possible. Ground cover planting will eventually shade out weeds and reduce maintenance. Invest in a professional planting plan and low maintenance will be achieved.

Grouting: 

There is nothing more unsightly than weeds appearing between paving slabs, cobbles etc. This can all be avoided by correct grouting ( jointing sand) between slabs. We use a strong jointing sand on all our jobs and guarantee you will never encounter this problem.


Fencing:

Hedges especially the fast growing varieties need a lot of attention in a garden. Some varieties require 3-4 cuts a year and removal of cuttings. By putting thought into the surrounds of your garden maintenance can be reduced. Consider wall or fence surrounds.

Paving/gravel: 

The incorporation of gravel and paving materials are great for filling space in a low maintenance garden. Contrasts should be considered along with large beds to soften and avoid an industrial look which can often happen with over use of these materials.

Stone/Decking: 

When choosing a raised patio go with paving this will reduce maintenance by removing the need to paint and protect the presure treated deck or cedar deck. The same goes for decking, choose  composite decking over a presure treated or cedar.
