How to make a path from stone

Immediately, the garden track is encountered at the gate and leads to the porch. Similar paths are sent to the bathhouse, and to a gazebo with the mangal, and to the garage, and to the children's playground. It's nice to walk if under your feet not only well-kept, but also a durable coating. Especially if it is wet after rain lawn or clay soil. Today we will make the manufacture of a walkway from stone.

Despite the high cost of natural stone, the tracks paved from the crusted and tiled material are considerably popular in mind their aesthetic properties. Stone trails are combined with a flower bed, a decorative reservoir, an alpine slide, a barbecue area, a lawn, a children's sandbox and other elements of landscape design on a plot due to its naturalness. In the process of work, such a stone material is used: clinker brick, sewer, sandstone, granite, limestone, as well as artificial stone and paving. However, remember that the service life of the shell and limestone is lower. The marble is better not to apply, as it slides.

Let's look at the traditional technology of making a stone of a stone:

First you need to form the contour of the path. To note the outline that is most often overwhelmed, use the rope.
After dug the trench, its depth should be about 25 cm, detect it from the roots of plants. Removing the turf, do not throw it out, as you can use for the purpose of decorating.
As a result, a ditch will turn out to be filled with large material, for example, crushed stone or broken brick. Compact backing.
Place a wet sand from above, afterwards afterwards.
Place the stone on the sandy layer, pressing it with the help of rubber Cyanka. Remember that it is worth putting higher than the soil level to prevent water accumulation.
After laying a few meters of track, fix the material with cement-sandy solution, based on the calculation of 1 part of the sand on 3 parts of the cement. Pour this solution of gaps that were formed between the stones. In addition, you can decorate the slots using separate fragments of the stone.
So that the track "did not go out", be sure to install the curb, which should be located throughout the curb. The same stone or the finished product will go.

Paving a stone path without the use of cement:

Preparatory stages are the same: the trench is digging on the shone shovel, its bottom is preparing.
Next should be laid a nonwoven geotextile, so that its edges remain outside the ditches.
The allowance should be from 30 centimeters to half a meter.
Pour on the geotextile layer of rubble, comprising it subsequently.
Grasp the edges of the canvas to cover the flashes of the backbone.
At the drainage, put a wet sand, the layer thickness reaches fifteen centimeters.
Place the stone material on the sand, be it a tile or paving slave and sink each fragment using a rubber hammer.
The slots that arose, set the sand.
If someone asked for some element, lift it, plug a little sand and confuse again.

Technology "Molding one stone" is as follows:

When determining the width of the track, it is recommended to take into account that there should be a gap in 3-5 centimeters between pieces.
Start actions, as in the previous cases, from digging ditch and clearing the bottom. To create the effect of the "Taucan Stone", the paths should be uneven edges.
Further remove the top layer of the soil, pour sand on the bottom. Its layer must reach 6-10 cm.
Place the stone material, withsting the gap between the individual elements and extinguish each of them with a special formwork. For its manufacture, small planks will rise.
The gaps should be poured with a concrete mixture, which consists of such components: cement (1 part), water (1 part), sand (4-5 parts). When kneading, make sure that the mass is obtained by the consistency on the sour cream.
Before the fill, we break the sections with water to ensure the seeping of cement milk into the soil and protect against such a negative effect as a seating of stone.
When pouring stones, press the reinforcement grid into the concrete. Or you can use wire trimming.
As a decoration, small dents can be made on a concrete surface with a celma, not more than one centimeter in height. You can use a multi-colored solution or marble crumb.

Option of the garden path from torn stone:

For paving paths, you can use stone material waste, which remained after the construction of the house and will no longer be useful anywhere in the economy. To do this, process all pieces, removing irregularities, sneaking, poring the surface. If some items need to be cut and fit into size, use a stone grinder.
After dug the ditch, remove the garbage from it and the roots of trees and shrubs, arrange the pillow from the sand. Dinet the elements like a mosaic.
Then it is necessary to close the seams using a cement solution.
