Eggzactly what I'm experiencing in my current residence...it feels like hell I tell ya cheesy. I can't even allow my dogs roam free in the compound until the sun goes down, because the concrete gets quite hot in the afternoons and burns their paws. I'd have my grass & trees anyday anytime, even with the added cost of maintenance and all...

Depends on the type of trees, distance from structures, maintenance (pruning) and all...of course if you have enough outdoor space, you can easily take appropriate precautions.

Trees and grasses do not serve the same purpose. Grass control erosion, preserve soil nutrients for trees and conserve water. They could be called natural carpet. When well kept, they are pleasing to the eyes.

There’s no point controlling erosion in a place that has been well concreted, hence my advice to use trees at least to have a greenery or nature effect ..

Everything is artificial these days. I missed those days when people used flowers and shrubs for fencing. I can’t remember anyone that died of snake bite.
While we in Africa are striving to be like Oyibo, those ones are begging to reserve to eco friendly environment.

Dem don come again with their low IQ.
Every primary school child knows that Nigeria , especially the south is Tropical rain forest.
Common sense would tell you that when you remove the forest (grass and trees) then you have the rain to deal with. Rain causes erosion.

Concrete flooring is deliberate removal of this natural protection, thus creating a problem. You migt have the resources to put some artificial protective measures like concrete flooring on your property.

But that does not negate the fact that a problem was created by your actions where there was no problem in the first place.

Ijesha in surulere Lagos was not flooding until the vegetation across the expressway at Festac extension and Lord’s Chosen was replaced with concrete.
Water does not just disappear, it would eventually find its level. Maybe at a location where people don’t have enough resources to do concrete in their yards.

Okay. Flooding it is.

Just to let you know which I do know you know.....erosion is eroding of the soil and it only applies to farmlands for agricultural produce.

Not just the top soil of farmlands, there is gully erosion too.

A lot of the modern designs in Asia are now like this. Simple and easy to care for outdoors.

I stuck a gas blower in my shipped truck to blow instead of sweeping.

Abi now! I intentionally didnt get involved in that flooring discussion.
People need to realize that, each persons likeness is different. If I decided to make all my yard green or concrete, it should not be your problem. Just respect my decision and move on; I do not need any critics.

It was never about disrespecting another man's choice Sir, far from it. Ok maybe my initial statement that started the discourse could and probably should have been toned down a notch or two, but I never meant it in that way.

I was only trying to share an alternative view or personal preference, which I believe should be welcome on a thread like this... afterall how do we learn and make informed decisions on our own projects if all we do here is compliment and agree with everything posted on here.

That being said, I apologize if my statement offended you or the owner of the project Sir. I come in peace ✌️✌️

They are (tiles) porcelain with timber colours made in Spain, they are very good in design. Also with quality production and there is no effect on there product, it call wooden tiles, most use it on stepcase, busy place like compound around swimming pool floor, compound floor, or plaza floor or wall all good at external and internal very high productive of Spanish product, it give you an comparable colour.
There made to Bry out all wood colours but not wood.

Thanks everyone for their suggestions.

I opted to fix the door by welding a new steel pan on the door.

Cost plus welding & painting - #40k.

Saved me the cost of a new turkish door plus breaking wall.

Hello House,

Please how can I remediate a Steel door with rotting wood panel?

Water is sipping into the house whenever it rains and I need a cost effective but permanent solution to it.
