Pathways in the country: decor with practical purposes

At the dacha, everything is important, every element, every building, every corner has its own purpose and is constantly used. Therefore, it is extremely important that everything be accessible. Provide it can only track in the country.

There are a lot of options for their implementation, but how to harmoniously fit them into the overall landscape of the site, to give decorativeness, to attract attention?

The paths on the dacha do not need to be made too wide, because this is not a prospectus. In addition, they come here to relax and retire in the environment of nature, which means that the paths should be appropriate.

Consider first the technological aspects of laying the track at the dacha. First of all, it is necessary to determine the place of its location and form. Regarding the form, it should be noted that if the cottage is small and located in the depths of the garden, then the path in the form of a winding snake will look very beautiful - a path buried in verdure and leading deep into the house light. For impressive manors with a large cottage in several floors, a straight path bordered by flower gardens and patterned front gardens will do. Having decided how to make paths in the country, we turn to the works themselves.

Regardless of the material used for laying, it is necessary to prepare a foundation. For this, a marking is made, along which the top layer of the soil is removed approximately to a depth of about 30 cm. The trench is filled with pebbles or large gravel, which forms a drainage layer. On such a foundation, any selected material can be laid. When laying the main covering, do not forget about the slope, it should be made sure that the rainwater is not collected on the surface, but went into the flower garden. For good drainage there is enough inclination in one direction for 1-2 degrees.

Building materials, suitable for laying the path in the country, a lot. This and paving slabs, which has become popular in recent years and has a wonderful aesthetic appearance, and traditional monolithic slabs, as well as ordinary concrete. You can use any of the options, but you can approach creatively and create a unique creation from unexpected materials.

So, from what to make the paths in the country house so that, as they say, and the eye is nice, and the heart is warm? The first material, which is worth paying attention to - a natural stone. Densely packed and sprinkled with earth, you can create a wonderful garden path. Particularly interesting it will look, if between the stones will break through the stunted grass. Such a path will always serve, since the stone does not have a limitation period and is not subject to destruction.

Unusually, the tracks on the cottage are made of wooden slices. To make such a path, you need to stock up several logs, preferably of different diameters, to saw them in such a way as to keep the round shape. The thickness of one element should not be less than 15-20 cm. This is necessary in order to have enough area for fixation. Each element is densely laid on the prepared base, covered with earth and compacted. It is important that each element is accurately adjusted in height, otherwise the surface of the track will turn out to be uneven.

Dacha is a place where you can give vent to fantasy. Create, and your corner will be the most beautiful, picturesque and inviting.
