Make garden tracks from girlfriend

For owners of country sites in the design of the territory, every detail is important. It is that today there are quite a few variations of design, and a considerable part of which are inexpensive ways to make a plot attractive.

If you speak directly about the tracks, which, of course, are the most important part of the territory, we can safely talk about the existence of a number of low-cost solutions. Often the owners who have a large budget for construction, repair and such events, no problems make a choice in favor of pavers, concrete slabs, as well as some other types of coatings. All of them are distinguished by high quality, including excellent strength, durability and attractive appearance.

Obviously, for the owners who want to save on the design of the site, or simply postpone the money for some other works, make a decision to use the sweater to create tracks. So-called garden tracks have become for many owners the subject of creativity. Some people study options available on the Internet, and create creative surfaces, and some decide to take advantage of their own that the end result is more original and perhaps attractive.

In this material we will consider the main features of creating garden tracks based on breed materials. We also analyze the main difficulties and other details related to the use of certain resources.

Main features of garden tracks

It is worth noting the fact that the creation of garden tracks is a kind of direction in creativity, as if funny it may sound. At the very beginning, we talked about the fact that on the Internet you can find a lot of options for designing garden tracks, but it is even difficult to imagine how many similar variations exist. You can find tens of blogs and canals on video services, where people are divided by their creativity in this direction.

Conclusions from the above can be done any, however, for people who want to make beautiful garden tracks, it is definitely plus. It is about the fact that in the worldwide network you can find photos, videos and whole articles on how it is better to equip the site so that the garden tracks are attractive and practical.

A huge advantage of creating original garden tracks is the savings. Often, people make a decision to spend something similar, save a lot of money, unlike those owners who use tiles, paving or other construction resources.

Accordingly, any infridate materials can be used to create garden tracks. However, there should be a lot of them. In controundes, the example is plastic caps from conventional bottles of soda or beer. On their basis, a colossal number of garden tracks has been created, and considerable part of them are truly interesting solutions that have no analogues. Of course, many say that creating paths from covers is ridiculous, because it looks funny, and there is no reliability in such a coating. Partially this is the right opinion, however, many options for such tracks are truly attractive. Also, you should not forget that the garden tracks themselves are fairly miniature, so no serious requirements for such objects make it no sense. Create big roads or even plates from lids or automotive tires are extremely unsuccessful solutions, therefore it makes sense to understand the scale of work. Often the width of the garden path is limited to 50 cm.

Preliminary actions

The hosts that decided to transform the site by creating a beautiful garden track, often ignore many details for which it is clear to pay attention.

• Sizes of the site. In the event that the owners have a large area of \u200b\u200bprivate territory, it can create some problems with the arrangement of small garden tracks. The thing is that such paths simply will look ugly. It is advisable to create large tracks that will be better fit into the existing territory. However, in some situations, you can look at the creation of small tracks around the perimeter of the site. It is worth paying attention to the fact that this decision should be well combined with the existing options for arranging the territory.
• Preparatory work. Surely the most important thing as concerning the creation of garden tracks is general preparation. It is necessary to determine in advance with what form will be tracks, and what dimensions they will have. After that, it follows a kind of markup. For it, you can take advantage of any infirred materials, including a thread that will pass around the perimeter of the future track. In this case, it will be possible to understand where the future garden track can create problems. The essence is that at first glance there should be no problem, but in fact the future track can enter those places that either should be empty or already occupied. Accordingly, even before creating tracks, we will understand which part of the territory we are dealing with.
• Expendable materials. As you know, when creating garden tracks, healthy materials are often used. Often, these most artificial paths can be based on sufficiently specific materials or resources, which, perhaps, the owners are not so much, as it would like. Thus, it is necessary to be sure that the necessary materials are present in the required volumes. For this you can conduct elementary calculations. Ultimately, we will know exactly what to do directly during the laying of the material, and in the case of which it is possible to use any other resources, perhaps purchased.
• Labor complexity. It should be borne in mind that create a garden track, for example, on the basis of covers, this is a truly complex process that for many people will be very difficult. It is directly difficult to put each separate small element - it is very tiring and simply boring. Accordingly, in order to somehow speed up the process, and quickly get the end result, you should attract as many people as possible. With this situation, the work should go quickly and without any problems. Depending on the material or conditions, you can also accelerate the process in some way, and at the same time get a qualitative result.

Next, we consider the most common options for creating garden tracks.

Creating a walkway

As we mentioned earlier, the paths from the covers are the most common option. Moreover, in terms of creativity, there is no equal in the plan, since the options for creating decorative paths can be an infinite amount.

• If we talk about the practicality of this idea, then not always such paths are convenient or durable. The thing is that gradually, depending on the soil, the lids can deepen, and, ultimately, to be equal to the Earth. To avoid this, it will be necessary to at least slightly compact the soil. Obviously, over time the lid will lose their initial attractiveness, but periodic care sometimes allows to extend the service life of such a base.
• The required volumes of covers is a sharp question. Earlier, we talked about the fact that we often consumable materials needed to create a garden track, you need a large number. In this case, everything comes down to the fact that to create a full-fledged track you need at least several thousand covers. Not everyone has such a number of plastic elements of bottles. Again, in such a situation, it is often necessary to look for a way out, for example, can be the use of third-party materials. For example, it can be a tile or brick.
• If we talk about the decorative component, then often the owners who want to create an attractive surface combine different colors of the covers. You can create various patterns, lines and more. Ultimately, the tracks may be truly bright and beautiful. At the same time, these decorative paths often become a kind of insumency. We are talking about quite controversial versions that are not combined with the common style of the site.

Use bat tile

In many construction sites and other facilities, you can find the construction trash that remains after dismantling certain structures. Thus, a broken tile, often found in the above conditions, can become an excellent component for creating garden tracks.

The Internet has a huge number of options for such paths, and, most importantly, such paths for private territory can be more attractive than paths created on the basis of a full tile or paving.

Most often, the hosts include their creativity, creating entire drawings based on the broken material, or simply combinations of location of similar elements.

• Surely the most important thing about this option to create a tile is the overall reliability of the tracks. Often they are created on the basis of cement, so they are not inferior to full-fledged paths, which are created using certain technologies.
• If you speak directly about the process of laying a bit of tile, then the basis as a small cement layer is created. In this very cement, tile elements are immersed. Ultimately, the tile and cement layer should be at one level. The cement will gain strength during the week, and before the moment when the binding material does not become durable, the track is categorically not recommended.
• In the event that the cement and the remaining components are distinguished by high quality, the surface becomes almost invulnerable to external influences. Only asphalt, laid on modern technologies, will be more reliable.

The roots of trees or soil deformations can be a threat to such "capital" track. In this case, it is impossible to exclude cracks and other troubles.

Creating car tracks

Surely every motorist has a lot of tires that are already unsuitable for further use. Fortunately, they can be used in various spheres, and first of all it is worth paying attention to their strength. Hurt the tires are extremely hard, so they are suitable for creating garden tracks.

• The weak side of this solution is the terrible appearance of the tires, which can make a beautiful and bright area of \u200b\u200bsomething sullen or treason. Despite this, if the owners do not require some kind of beauty or creativity, it is a good option, especially if the track should be small and narrow.
• Low laboriousness when creating such tracks is a unambiguous plus. Just cut the tires and put on the ground. Most often used 2 or 3 lines of tires, which creates a kind of path. All these works should leave no more than an hour.
• If there is a need to create some kind of decorative "raisin", you can arm the paint that is applied to the tires. It is best to use bright colors that are better suitable for a cozy site. In addition, it is possible to lay some material under the tires that can slightly soften the "rudeness" of the rubber surface.

Garden track

Each host must have a lot of wood materials that can be applied to create a garden path. First of all, we are talking about the fact that the boards needed to create a path must (preferably) have about the same dimensions, and this may even be completely small. Thus, boards can be simply put into the soil, but it is advisable to use fine crushed stone, and on the basis of it to create a wooded path.

• It is worth noting that the wood itself, in its original treated form, in the open air will be unreasonable in the open air. It's all about precipitation and other external influences, therefore it is advisable to handle the smell of fuel oil that creates ideal conditions for the durable use of such tracks. Interestingly, the appearance of boards treated with fuel oil becomes quite attractive.
• In the event that a crushed stone is present between the rolls, the composition becomes truly attractive. If you take photos available on the network, then such a decision should be in the best way to fit into the existing land landscape.

Immediately I would like to note that instead of the boards you can use the so-called spey. These are wood elements that often have a round shape. These thermiers can be deepened directly into the ground. Accordingly, such a track will raise herbs, however, on the appearance of the track and the site, in general, it will only affect positively. In decorative terms, such a garden path will also be attractive because of the rings available on the wood. Much depends on the chosen wood.

Gardening crushed stone

First of all, it should be borne in mind that a large stone as a base for a garden track is unlikely to succeed, since this natural material has a sufficiently diverse shape, not the best way appropriate for a path or road.

If we talk about rubble, then this is a sufficiently good option, especially if the garden track in width is 1 m or even more.

The essence of this idea is that around the perimeter of the future track, we laid bricks, tiles or other large elements that will become a kind of fence for the track. So, then the laying of rubbank begins, the layer of this material in terms of the level must correspond to the height of the above elements around the perimeter. If you hold a thorough seal of rubble, then the excellent surface is obtained for continuous use. Walking a small fraction of rubble will not interfere, especially if the above seal was carried out on conscience.

The positive side of this solution is the overall durability. Crushed stone is not afraid of precipitation, low temperatures and other external influences. Perhaps this track will be not the best solution for a particular area already having a certain design style, but there is no significant comments here.

Plastic garden tracks

To date, the farm uses the mass of plastic accessories, which over time, unfortunately, lose their original appearance. Despite this, as a basis for small garden tracks is an excellent option that may give odds to many other creative solutions.

As the basis, take plastic mats that are used in the bathrooms or in front of the entrance doors to the house. It is worth noting that there is a colossal number of options for rugs on sale, and for sure the owners have in reserve at least several unnecessary units of this product.

Accordingly, such mats can be safely laying over herbs, or immediately on the ground. In the event that there are a considerable amount in stock, the garden track will be excellent, especially considering the fact that under the action of precipitation and other external influences there should be no problems.

Large plastic mats can be cut into 2 or more parts, which will eventually have a positive effect on the overall situation associated with the creation of the track.

Using broken glass

If we talk about glass bottles that accumulate in the house, they can also be a good resource for creating a garden path. The essence of this idea is that the bottles can be blocked a little so that the glass parts are about the same size. Ultimately, the glass can be placed on the basis of the cement mixture.

• To begin with a cement layer of a small thickness (about the same way as in the case of a battle-tiled). It is preliminarily to make sure that the soil, on the basis of which the track will be created, should be sufficiently dense and reliable, in order to no longer arise the cracks and deformations of the cement layer.
• Already after the cement scored a bit of strength, broken glass can be laid. All parts of the broken bottle should not be taken, as some may be with a too strange form that is not suitable for creating a track. It is advisable to choose smooth glasses with the largest area.
• Each glass is slightly pressed into the cement, while it is worth controlling the overall horizontal of the garden path so that the walking on it does not create any problems.

You can combine various color solutions, creating peculiar patterns, lines and other items. Thus, some freedom for people who want to implement design ideas is definitely present. At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the fact that parts of the glass can be injured by the feet of a person, as you can easily not notice the sharp edges of the parts of the glass.

Garden track brick

Obviously, brick is a universal material for many construction activities. If we talk about the use of bricks to create a garden track, then the situation is in such a way that on the basis of this material you can easily make a fairly narrow track, which will decorate the site.

To do this, you need to deepen the brick to the rib in the ground, while the building material should rise a little over the ground. You can also create several rows of bricks so that the garden track is wider and, its turn, convenient for movement.

Red brick is the best option for implementing a designer solution, while too damaged material is better not to use at all.
