Dazinoz Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Hi. Anyone know where I can buy these pavers in Chiang Mai? Want to fill those holes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoh1490 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Almost everywhere that sells stone, they have them at JJ's market and on the Maejo road, left handside, between Ruamchok and the Maejo traffic light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibeachlovers Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 No need to buy the pavers. Just get a bag of concrete mix and fill the holes, then shape them like the pavers before the concrete sets. If using actual pavers you will need 8 new pavers for each hole.

Went to JJs and visited several shops that sold rocks and pavers. No green ones and only one place had plain cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a small area next to from gate with just enough of the same pavers so using them and making a "feature" of the small area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyecatcher Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 You will not find green ones...you need to get the roof paint to get the colour you want. Natural grey; rustic red or brown is luckiest you will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfokevin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Can you take a few matching green ones form the back of the house and move them to those holes and then fill the one in the back with plain ones that you can try to paint to match?

Personally, I would be very tempted to fill them with concrete and etch the lines of the blocks into the semi-wet cement and then paint them, probably all of them.

Too many to paint as most of the yard is them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Small area near front gate was raided for the pavers. Going to make little "feature" of this area. Holes now filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that already in #4, but not about painting them. Anyway, once concrete gets old it looks a bit like that colour. I forgot to mention in that post that what I did in same situation was take good pavers from an out of the way place and use them in the high visibility area. Then I'd put the part pavers in the out of the way place and use concrete to fill the remaining gap. I had to get inventive as couldn't find similar pavers to what was already there. Ended up buying new for the biggest area and then placing the original in a smaller area. Love using pavers in LOS- so cheap and reasonably easy to lay. Went through about 30 cutting disks so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is a gutter down pipe I see you don't want the water flowing into that dirt. Either replace the pavers with new ones or extend the pipe.

Actually we have a small dog and she has no real toilet in the yard, just the pavers. So today I decided I will put some grass in that small area for her toilet. Easy to hose out. And yes I will extend drain pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in the bottom right hand corner that is) Yep, I think he went quakers. Actually someone had put 5 small ugly trees in. As can be seen from the first pic the holes were not aligned and something in the soil had made them grow at much different rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need answers on the duck, we need to know, a seemingly innocent picture of paving stones with a duck peering around the corner at us, what forces are at work here.
