Renovating the Home of the Founders Parkway
The Founders Parkway is a favorite part of Las Vegas. Located in between Southwestern Las Vegas and the Paris Las Vegas Boulevard, it's just a short drive towards the world-renowned Las Vegas Strip. The breathtaking scenery that is found on the Strip isn't the only thing you can find. Beautiful landscaping can be seen along the Parkway and includes a paved walkway with wooden planks that leads to Castle Rock.
One of the more interesting aspects of the design of the paving on the Founders Parkway is that of its appearance relative to other public works of a similar quality in Las Vegas. A stone bench is located in the middle of the parkway. It's situated between two pillars of stone. The bench, however, is rectangular in design rather than the usual circular design like other parks located in Las Vegas. Along the edges of the stone bench concrete has been utilized in a variety of fascinating designs. Concrete patios can be seen in six distinct designs.
Concrete tabs comprise two of the concrete pavers utilized in this particular design. These concrete tabs are similar to the typical concrete patio found in Las Vegas. The concrete used in the Castle Rock section of paving is colored to blend in with the surrounding landscape. At the same time it is subtle enough so that the concrete does not over-power the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
The remaining three concrete segments of the design are made up of large rock shapes. Each of these huge rock shapes are colored so that they stand out from the concrete. This section of concrete is colored red to distinguish it from other concrete sections around the parkway. The concrete used in this project comes in 11 colors. The architects have created an Parkway that feels completely different from other developments by using so many hues.
Another major change in the construction of the castle rock portion of the Las Vegas Strip was the removal of the existing ground level concrete sidewalks and ramps by granite pavers. The granite pavers come with a distinctive color scheme that blends well with the surroundings. They have distinct color patterns that blends into the surrounding. It also makes it simpler for pedestrians use and gives driveways more smoother and smoother when it rains.
The Las Vegas Strip has a covered walkway that is a design modification. The covered walkway was constructed to keep residents from walking on the exposed root along the tree-lined beach. The design allows rainwater that has collected in the ground to flow into the sea, helping keep the beach from becoming eroded. The walkway made of concrete is buried in the ground , so there is no need for concrete sealant. Instead the pavers are encased by a special, waterproof material which is resistant to heat and slip.
Castle Rock offers a great climate for living. The climate is semi-tropical with warm summers and mild winters. Because the soil is sandy, it's an the ideal place to plant plants. There are numerous varieties of plants that include evergreens, shrubs and desert flowers. In addition, the land tends to slope towards the southern portion of the Strip and creates an environment that is cooler for homes in this part of the city.
Residents can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Strip from the stone picnic area located in the eastern part of the. It is possible to take a break from the hum and bustle of the casino floor, by sitting on the stone bench. The bench is functional and visually appealing thanks to its stone-built construction. When you walk down to the edge of the deck to have your lunch, or sit and enjoy the stars on the Strip, you will notice how the stones bring the outside in.
