Hello all. Seeing the debate about interlocking and stamped concrete, I'm curious why most people don't go for landscaping and concrete for the walkway only. What are the advantages of common practices against landscaping and concrete? Water sprinklers are very cheap and DIY friendly. Looks like a no brainer to me but I'm sure I'm missing something.

Examples in the pictures below.

Landscaping reduces dust, pollution and improves oxygen qualities.

How affordable is the stamped concrete vs interlocks..

Do you mind given us an example for a typical say 120sqm space how much would both cost?

It is affordable but it costs with interlock is more like double.

120sqm will cost about N720,000 in the southwest and north central region.

Thanks.

This is stamped concrete, me I prefer it over interlock. Weed can not grow on this floor and it is aesthetically pleasing compare to interlock that you will be seeing weed growing at each joint.
Recently, I tried to convince someone to use stamp concrete but he said what if there is blockage in waste pipe underground, how will they rectify it(which I don't really know how to convince him).


I'm glad you understand the advantages of the decorative stamped floors sir.

And for the question of if there is blockage in the waste pipe;
what we do during installation of the floor is to create chambers at certain points that will enable plumbers to use a small pipe to clear the drainage i.e from one point of the chamber to another. And the chamber covers we makes use of can be lifted easily without breaking nothing just like picture below.

If that person will still be interested in having decorative stamped concrete please refer him to us, he won't regret.

Thanks.

The second point is exactly is why I settled for interlocking. If there is a plumbing problem, it will be big wahala to fix o, you have to break everything and re-concrete again. That is why there are lots of pros and cons using both method.

In as far as the pipe no compress and chambers were created at where necessary there will never be any reason to break sir.

What do you do when you want to relocate your pump from one side of the building to another side?
I’ve been looking for a way to achieve this without breaking the concrete or flying wires around.

On another occasion, I needed to connect water from the borehole to a new building within the same compound.

These and many more are the many challenges of stamped concrete.

The one you don’t pray to experience is leaky plumbing pipes.

True, I'm fairly new here. But I wonder why he was allowed to continue to scam people using this forum.
Anyway, he was arrested yesterday. He admitted that he used my money to take care of his father's burial. There's nothing in his account now, per his bank statement we obtained. I'll make sure he coughs the money.
I hope that he’s able to cough out your money asap. His bank account might be empty but he may have some assets that can be trade off to retrieve your money.
I don’t know the legal interpretation of what he did but I believe that he can be handled better in the naija way and he go pay. wink
There are great and reliable building contractors and Site engineers on this forum. We equally have few bad ones like this one. Some are not capable of handling complex and technical jobs but they will use sugarcoated posts to lure clients and then mismanage the money given to them lipsrsealed
Next time, pls do your search properly by asking questions about the character behind the username you intend to patronize. Some have rebranded, repackaged and have changed their usernames but old forum members sabi their way. undecided
And finally, the mod should look into the activities of this scam artist called HsLBroker.
I wish you Good luck Sir.

But eventhough we laid plastic before the interlocking, few months after we still have the weed problem. But we bought a good weed killer that we periodically sprayed on the joints, so far so good now.

So, you just have to weigh your options which you prefer.

You’ll never have my business then. No biggie to you I’m sure.
well actually it's a biggie to me that you don't even make enquires about my work.

Negotiations are norms. Let's take for instance, my cost of working for someone around me isn't same for me working afar cause I will have to factor cost of transport and other things. The most important part is that you tell me what you can pay and if it's ok for me, I will do a diligent job which you will appreciate.


The picture in question, you can choose for the legs to be 3" while another person will want something with 2". They can't be the same price sir

Yes sir, truly in some situations you are left with no choice but to break the floor so as to have room to do what is suppose to be done.
But yet, rather than breaking just anyhow, cutting machine can be used to cut like 0.3m space which will create a neat line and minimise cost of reinstalling.

Thanks.

If my guess is right, that concept of flooring is decorative stamped concrete and for now it's the best option for outdoor flooring. Just avoid cheap and ogbonge installer/contractor and you won't regret.

You can count on me, because I am a decorative stamped concrete specialist.

Or check my signature.

We must have different meaning of simplicity. What's more simple than grass? Mixing cement, making interlocking blocks, preventing cracks, laying rebars, designing patterns of interlocks, worrying about weeds growing out between interlocks - doesn't sound like simplicity to me.

Simplicity is building mud houses and straw-thatched roofs instead of skyscrapers. By your logic, we should go back to living in the stone age.
