Washed concrete, concrete paving slabs, and block paving

1. Walkable garden paving slabs

Walkable slabs for gardens and lawns make a great and quick paving solution. You can pave your entire garden, driveway, terrace, patio, or balcony with concrete blocks and slabs. Theyre tremendously resistant to pressure, moisture,  and are very easy to clean. They can be laid over concrete, compacted sand, or even directly over bare soil. Walkable concrete slabs differ in how theyve been manufactured, shape, colour, and texture. Choose among smaller concrete blocks, washed concrete, smooth concrete, or sandblasted concrete slabs, and void structured concrete or grasscrete.

2. Concrete pavers - blocks and slabs

Concrete blocks and slabs come in various shapes, colours, and textures. Many are replication of stone and other natural materials, and have a special vintage look. Their edges can be sharp or smooth. Concrete pavers are easy to install and together they can form various patterns. Concrete blocks and slabs are resistant to water, and some include salt and UV protection. Concrete pavers can be used on terraces, walking paths, gardens, yards, driveways, car parks, or pavements.

2.1 Price of concrete blocks and slabs

The price of concrete pavers averages NGN10,000/sqm with installation.

3. Washed concrete

Washed concrete slabs are actually standard concrete slabs whose final layer has been washed off with a water jet, rendering a more natural appearance, resembling that of marble. Washed concrete is highly resistant to water. Its used for paving gardens, paths, and yards, and is fairly easy to install. The usual dimensions of washed concrete slabs are 40x40x3.7 cm or 50x50 x3.7 cm, but this depends on the manufacturer.

3.1 Price of washed concrete slabs

Being one of the cheapest paving materials, washed concrete slabs are pretty affordable.

4. Sandblasted concrete slabs for gardens

As their name suggests, sandblasted slabs are produced through the process of fine sandblasting. In this process, its also the final layer thats stripped, but not using water, but fine dry substances, such as fine sand and dry ice. The final outcome is a very elegant look. The resulting surface looks natural, slightly rough, but non-slip. Further impregnation can boost its resistance to dirt. The dimensions are 40x40x3.8 cm.

5. Smooth slabs

With their no-nonsense look, smooth concrete slabs look good in all environmentsn- gardens, paths, stairs, and even flat roofs! Their usual dimensions are 40x40x3.8 cm.

6. Grasscrete

What makes this paving special is its unusual look. Its used in places in need of pavement which is not entirely monotonous, e.g. car parks and driveways. These slabs include two layers - the upper one composed of quartz sand, and the lower one made of concrete. Its usually available in the following dimensions: 40x60x10 cm.
