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.

Are you his accomplices? There is no name nor reputation spoiling, the man diverted money meant for a project for funeral, was that the purpose of the contract? If the victim actions pisses you off then refund the money on Hlsbroker's behalf, Your comments sound like a scammer,..... probably you are also into this type of act!

Badgers14:


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?

omanzo02:


Exactly.....and that @Johntemmy has the gut the accused the victim of reputation spoiling,......after burial was not included in agreement or contract, he has no decency in him

Johntemmy:



Do I ever mentioned the victims in my post?..
I said he(HLS) as personally spoiled his name and reputation cos of greediness, can't you read well before you comment bro.
meanwhile you can re-read my post again to make appollogy cos you are accusing me wrongly.
Have been on Nairaland for years I get no bad records here and I will never.

omanzo02:

You better make a clear sentence next time at least with a subject......others understood your comments the way I did and reacted that you meant the victim and that speaks volume man.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Johntemmy:




spoiling his reputation because of shikini money not considering His Name and future.Nairaland is a one room we can cross path.forget it's a faceless forum.tueh this really bad.

Dennis3D:
Good morning all.
What do you think about this flooring as against interlock... Your reviews would be welcomed...

mufutau55:


There will be a lot of other areas water can saturate.
There are still some areas reserved for green grass and plants. So no biggie.

Oh I see I got you wrong. Sorry! I thought the opposite

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.

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.

skup008:


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.

Thanks.

EgunMogaji2:


Or we’ve spent decades doing the grass cycle and prefer simplicity in our life’s?

Abolarin91:
I am glad you provide solution to what we think might be a major problem.

Abolarin91:
How much do you charge per sqm?

Donoppy:


Okay ... can I have your digit to text you on whatapp ma’am

skup008:

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