Pavements and roadways , how and where they are placed and laid are often in life outside of your control , just like the issues and fortunes that life deals us or does not deal us. We can only make the best of the cards that we are dealt. It is not as if your local city or local municipality calls you into a town district meeting to consult with you as to where and how the roadway in front of your home or property should be placed or laid. On the other hand or other side of the fence where and how pavements and your pavement is placed in your garden city best work to encourage , focus and shield the vital sheng qi of your garden area , areas and lawn and general garden area as well.

If there is one rule and tactic in this procedure it is to build your garden and yard pavements to encourage positive sheng qi and to both enhance and focus the wonderful , good and great powers of this and your sheng qi.

First of you can make the choice and choose to make a straight pavement seem curved itself with shrubs, flowers, potted plants, stones or ornaments along one edge. Indeed the Chinese use mosaic pebbles in their garden layouts as the design and designs of these special mosaic pebbles work well and best to emphasize the inherent and instrinsic duality and dualities of both the ying and yang forces present and evident.

It can be said that a narrows pavement, all things considered, can be considered and thought best overall than the choice of a wide pavement width. Three or four feet ( that is 0.9 meter to 1.2 meter) can be said to be more than wide enough for pavements in your garden or yard , in most people's gardens and outside areas of their yard and areas adjacent to their homes and office structures.

Along with these choices, low earth mounds on either side of your pavement or pavements will create much more interest to the eyes and senses and as well increase the flow of the vital qi forces and factors. Along with this consider that curving pavements and even curved planned in the making and layout of your pavement areas will create surprises , twists and twirls in your garden areas as well as the pavement leading to the entranceway to your front and rear doors. It's like life- adding a bit of surprise, and surprises, and adds to the enhancements with all their twists and turns of changes, intrigues and excitement of life and living a life well lead, lived and experienced.

Along with this, on the other side of planning and layout of your pavement structures, try at all costs to avoid straight lines and straight line rigid layouts if you possibly can. Instead use a herringbone pattern or if need be an alternate layout in the form or forms of a ?Bagua? shape.

If you can use ?pavers? , rather than solid concrete , as they will allow the solid earth qi to rise and filter up as well as letting the most essential and vital to life water and moisture come through and filter up to the living organisms and creatures in your supporting and supporting areas. The world is a microcosm of your life and so is your own yard and gardens. Put plants between your pavers. Pick thyme as it is effective. You can walk and tread on thyme gently. In addition place shrubs and shrubbery in pots and pot like structures to make the ambience and whole area and areas as a whole appear and really seem friendly and friendlier.

Lastly consider making a private paved area, screened from the house. Feng Shui!
