Geogrid instead of concrete for garden paths, parking. Using a trellis for blind area, flower beds and beds
Geogrid - plastic cells that come in various shapes (rhombuses, squares, honeycombs). It is made from geosynthetic polymer. Most often they are used for railways and highways. Strengthen slopes, slopes, banks of reservoirs, parking lots, etc.
Summer residents realized all the benefits of the geogrid and began to use it with benefit on their site. The lattice helps to equip the territory, strengthen, reinforce the slopes.
When stretched, the grating is filled with sand, gravel, soil, stone or other filler.
Scope in the country
Geogrid has become popular for many tasks. It perfectly strengthens bulk materials and creates a solid foundation.
Garden paths
It often happens that after heavy rainfall, paths are washed out. We have to restore them. It is not difficult to make tracks using a geogrid yourself.
You will need simple tools and materials: rubble, a shovel, a cart, a rope with pegs for marking, geotextiles (optional), a geogrid.
First, the boundaries of the track are marked. Then a layer of earth is removed by 20-25 cm. then comes the compaction of the surface and laying / backfilling of the geogrid. Now the paths will not blur, and the surface will not shift and crumble.
Parking
To make everything beautiful in the country, take care of the parking lot. The long-lasting driveway of the site will be comfortable and harmonious. Even the neighbors will become jealous.
The grid cells are filled with soil and sowed with a lawn. It is also called eco-parking. Under the wheels of the car, the grass will not wrinkle much. There will be no dirt after precipitation.
It is possible to fill in the grid cells not with soil, but with crushed stone or gravel. There is a minus: over time, dips and pits form in certain places. Wheels can bury and skid in rubble. Therefore, everyone uses a concrete grating.
The most reliable parking surface is concrete. But it is not eternal and eventually collapses.
Blind area
With the help of such a lattice, you can get a reliable blind area. Resistant to soil swelling, retains its integrity for many years.
Flower beds and beds
The geogrid can be laid between the beds in the greenhouse as a path. Cover it with earth or rubble. It is convenient to decorate areas near flower beds, swimming pools and recreation areas with a lattice.
