Residential paving is an easy way to transform outdoor spaces which makes them safer and more appealing. Galaxy Tiling & Renovations in Adelaide offers paving solutions for backyards, pool surrounds and footpaths by using quality materials and skilled installation for long-lasting results.

What is paving?

Paving is covering the outdoor floors with a layer of paving materials. For homes, paving is usually used in backyards, around swimming pools, exterior footpaths, driveways, and/or around the house. Paving these areas of the house makes it easier and more pleasant to walk around the house. It can also give a good look paving matches the overall colour and layout of the house.

Paving can be done in two ways. When the area is already cemented, then paving is done with covering the area by a layer of sand and cement.

Residential Paving Adelaide - Backyards, Pool Areas & Footpaths

At Galaxy Tiling, paving is one of the four main services offered by us. For residential properties, we do backyard paving, paving around the house, paving around the swimming pools and footpath paving.

We do backyard paving, around the house, around the swimming pool or footpath paving. The other form of paving is usually done around the house. First, the area is levelled to make sure the surface is even. Next a plastic layer is laid over the area to avoid the growth of grass into the paving layer. Finally, the paving layer is laid over the plastic.

For the parts around the house, the other option is to lay concrete rather than paving. Concrete can be a better option since grass cannot grow, however, it is possible that the concrete layer gets cracked. In that case, it can be expensive to replace it with the new concrete. In contrast, if the area has pavement, replacing the cracked pavings is easier and cheaper than replacing the concrete layer.

The Benefits of Outdoor Paving

Paving isn’t just about looks. It is a practical upgrade for any home. Well-paved areas offer safer and smoother surfaces for walking, playing or entertaining. Paving also helps keep mud, dust and weeds under control which can make outdoor spaces easier to maintain. When paving matches the style and colours of your home, it can boost your property’s look and feel. Quality paving can make a big difference in everyday living whether it is for a neat footpath, a backyard patio or a pool surround,

Paving for Backyards and Pool Areas

Backyard and pool area paving is one of our most requested services. These areas see a lot of use and need to be both attractive and hard-wearing. At Galaxy Tiling & Renovations, we help you choose the best materials and patterns to suit your lifestyle and space. Our team prepares the ground, installs a protective layer to stop weeds and lays your chosen pavers with care. The result is a backyard or pool area that is perfect for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying time outside with family and friends.

Options for Footpaths and Around the House

Footpaths and the areas around your home benefit greatly from professional paving. You can opt for different colours, shapes and finishes to match your home’s exterior. We make sure the ground is level and protected before laying the pavers for the purpose of a smooth and long-lasting finish. Unlike concrete, paved paths are easy to repair. If a part of paving cracks or shifts, we can replace just that piece without disturbing the rest which can save you time and money in the long run.

Why Choose Paving Over Concrete?

While concrete is a common choice for some outdoor spaces, paving offers more flexibility and convenience. Concrete can crack over time and can be costly to repair or replace. With paving, any damage is usually limited to individual pavers which are much easier and cheaper to swap out. Paving also gives you more options for customisation with colours, textures and patterns. Plus, the finished look is often warmer and more inviting than plain concrete. Paving can be a smart and stylish choice for backyards, pool areas and footpaths in most homes in Adelaide.
