repair track

Forum member with the nickname Nomad a few years ago made the country track of paving slabs. I put them on the sand bed thickness bayonet shovels. The sand is hard packed and spilled water. Paths to get a perfect horizontal.

However, over time tile starts to leave the ground, although originally located 2 cm above the ground level. As a result, after the rains on the tracks accumulate water. Later the situation worsened uninvited guests - moles.

As a result, five years later the path began to look pitiable. The owner came to the conclusion that if the country inhabited by a variety of earthmoving creation, garden paths should be done differently. Therefore, rolling his sleeves and got down to repair. When removed the tiles, I discovered numerous moves.

Level removed topsheet sand rammed and brought horizon. Then I put the metal mesh sleep pyatisantimetrovym layer of cement-sand dry mix in a ratio of 1 / 3.5. At the same time he lifted the net so that it does not lie at the bottom and ended up in the middle layer. All leveled, and laid tile. To a mixture grabbed forumchanin paths shed.

With the step sequence Nomad to do the same. The distance between the tiles is also sprinkled with the dry mix: the grass will not be here to grow, but the moles and should not appear.

Until then, until the solution hardens, the paths should not go: you can accidentally move the tile, and then she no longer will be in place.

Sasha76 It recommends that all is well to consider if you want to lay tiles on the cement layer with reinforcing mesh: then it will be difficult to alter anything. You need to immediately decide whether you will make the joints of the boards, we consider that these seams should be held strictly under the tile, well compacted, consider measures to prevent local erosion and so on. d.

InSAn It gives another tip: if you do a concrete base under the tile, keep in mind that during the thaw under it can get melt water, and in the cold tiles blown off from the base. Therefore, we must first make a hole, fill sand (10-15 cm), then lay geotektsil, and already him to fall asleep rubble: the web is not a stone will "drown", and that, in turn, protect the track from moles. After the trail polyethylene layer, and on it roll in sand and lay plates. Each layer is well tamped.
