A variety of garden paths. The paths of natural stone

Most of all I like the track of natural stone. In my opinion, people have not been able to come up with something that can beat the beauty of nature. It is true at present that is made by nature, it is worth very expensive. However, pardon the tautology, it's worth it.

Laying of tracks with their hands - it is very responsible and laborious. There are two ways of stacking tracks: in solution and sand (if the lawn grows between the stones). We had the opportunity to experience both. So I'll tell you how it's done.

First you need to outline the contours of future tracks. Everyone does it differently. In this case, the contour scheduled firewood.

Further, according to the intended contours dug trench depth of about 20 cm. The bottom of the trench prostilali agrospanom. Trenches slept sand layers, each layer spilled water and ramming.

The upper layer of sand flattened by level. It was laid stone. In fact, the track was ready. After laying between the seams had been sprinkled on the fertile land, which in the spring sown lawn grass. Unfortunately, not all of the grass came up, we had to sow it again later.

Looks elegant such tracks. Lawn gradually grows, and the stones look very natural among grass.

These tracks are made from processed natural stone. But there is a stone, which do not sell processed. We also have a coating of such a stone. It is made by a different technology - on a solution. This is more time-consuming process, but the result is impressive.

The initial stage of the construction of this track is the same as the previous one. Done markings excavated ditch is landfilling (in this case otsypali ASG). Formwork done, it is put into the masonry grid, and pour the concrete mix. After three or four days after the concrete dries, the shuttering dismantled. On the surface of the concrete mortar is applied a layer of about 1-1.5 cm. The solution is recessed stones. The following day (until the solution is still "alive") are stripped of its excess metal brush. Curbs laid later.

Curbs may be different. You can put large cobblestones, and you can limit the small stone path.

The taste and color of comrades there, so you'll be able to choose the option of garden paths, which will be closer to your heart is.
