Recently, a huge set of tips appeared on the network related to the creation of tracks in the cottage or garden. Of course, in this information, there is definitely a lot of useful, as people can even create a truly decent plot with a minimum budget, which will delight with their beauty and, most likely, convenience.

It is necessary to draw attention to the fact that today there are really many options for creating tracks, since such events imply the use of a wide variety of materials starting with old linoleum and ending with expensive granite tiles. But practice shows that the cost of work is not yet an indicator that we will end up.

To carry out work related to the creation of tracks in the country, you need to have a certain feeling of taste, thanks to which even frankly budget materials would be perfectly looked at one territory of a particular territory. Do not forget that specialists who often request a lot of money can work on the landscape.

In this material, we will consider the main scenarios related to the creation of tracks in the country's own forces. Pay attention both to inexpensive versions of artificial paths and on really expensive surfaces.

The main steps of choosing a path for giving

• First of all, you need to decide on your budget. Of course, it all depends not only on whether it is possible to spend a certain amount, but also from the area of \u200b\u200bthe site itself. If it is too big, it will not be possible to save significantly, it will certainly have to make a choice in favor of some unusual solutions to save the cost of work. If it is decided to use expensive materials, then elementary calculations should be carried out. Perhaps, for small savings will have to abandon one or another path of the path, because if the country's country is large, then, for example, the use of granite tiles will mean enormous financial spending.
• Further makes sense to think about the durability of materials. If a frankly cheap track resource is used, then it is likely that after the season, or even after a couple of months, its condition will deteriorate sharply, and then it will have to replace. In order not to encounter such problems, it is worth ensuring that the specific material does not come into disrepair, for example, after rainy weather, or after colossal frost. For example, if we are talking about the reuse of linoleum, then under the action of weather conditions, its appearance will be just terrible, while the general condition will not change.
• The laboriousness of work is also a serious factor, especially if the creation of a carpet in the country is just a small "bonus" when arranging the landscape. If these works will have to spend a lot of strength and patience, then it is quite possible, someone does not like this idea. If we use third-party people for these works, then, of course, you will have to spend much more money. Perhaps the feasibility of work on this soil will significantly decrease.
• Appearance. Of course, dacha or garden tracks are the most components of the territories that need to create the decoration effect. First of all, these tracks should push the owners and guests of the site to walk around the territory and enjoy their beauty. Frankly budget options for creating tracks can not look beautiful, so you have to go on fairly unusual steps to get just such a track that thought initially.

Of course, combine all these items in a single whole - not easy. Obviously, they will have to donate something to get the desired landscape, but it all depends exclusively from the owners who wish to do everything possible to get an attractive site and comfortable walking track.

Creating a dacha carpet from concrete

• Concrete paths are probably the most neutral surface option. The thing is that it is relatively expensive resource, and, moreover, he looks extremely simple. For many owners who do not want to focus on tracks, concrete will be the best option. It should be borne in mind that concrete is a durable building material that would have covered highways long ago, if not a harsh winter climate, in which a concrete surface, while driving heavy cars, simply collapses. In the country area, nothing like that should be, so the concrete base will be almost eternal.

• The process of creating such tracks is extremely simple. At the very beginning you need to prepare the surface under the fill. It is best to make it so that it was a fairly small crushed stone, but at the same time the surface should be dense, so that no failures happen when pouring the mixture there is no failures, otherwise the work will be worse. Previously the upper layer of soil is advisable to remove, as it is characterized by high plasticity and a tendency to various deformations. Crushed stone can be placed on the basis of a special insulating sheet material that would create a concrete of a certain form designed to form a track.
• The main mixture should have a ratio of 1: 3, where 1 is cement, and 3 is sand. As for the use of rubble, everything happens here at the discretion of the hosts, since the dimensions of the tracks can be the most diverse. If the track is small, then the small fraction of rubble will be the best option.
• It should be understood that it is often a lot of mixture for such work, as the track will be held around the site, so it will be necessary to purchase or rent a small concrete mixer, which will significantly simplify the process. In addition, it is not necessary to knead the large amount of material at once, since the resource is quickly grasped, and people engaged in the fill track may simply not have time to use the material. Save in this business is definitely not worth it, since at one moment it can lead to the destruction of the surface. Responsibly needs to be addressed to the choice of materials used to create a track. The cement brand must comply with the high responsibility of the work, otherwise there is simply no special meaning in the implementation of such a project.

• As for negative parties, then, of course, the main drawback of the concrete path for the cottage is not the most attractive appearance. It will be a banal gray surface that is neutral looks as part of almost any site. Often, you can use enough interesting techniques, so that the concrete path looked like decorative. To do this, you can combine various materials, or simply deposit some component into the surface. Do not forget that special dyes are often used to decorate the usual paving slabs. Another disadvantage of tiles can be called a high cost of work. Of course, there are even more expensive options, however, within the framework of a major plot, you will have to spend a lot of money.

Track in the cottage from paving slabs

• Last years, the paving slabs began a kind of "central" material to create surfaces, most often precisely the sidewalks. The tile material may be the most diverse, so the basic limitation is based on the budget. But at the same time it is worth understanding that here, as in the case of a concrete surface, work can be carried out with your own hands. The main task is to accommodately approach the work so that the surface is really attractive and reliable.

• If we talk about reliability, the pavement tile is preferable to the concrete base. The thing is that cracked can form on concrete tracks. It is almost impossible to protect against such a negative trend, since too many factors affect the state of concrete. The tile, of course, consists of the same resources, but considering that it is relatively small in dimensions of the unit of material, everything becomes much easier. The essence is that during operation it may be damaged by 1-2 tiles, and they can be easily replaced. Such practicality is a significant plus. As for the appearance of the tile, many modern samples really make a look, and much depends directly from the forms used in the production of products.
• As for the direct release of the paving slabs with their own hands, then there are several more equipment here than in the case of a classic concrete path. In addition to the concrete mixer and the usual components there is a need for vibration equipment. For example, the most elementary vibration table can be made it in handicrafts. This is the table lid, as well as the legs between which there are springs. Under the lid there is a vibrator or balancer, thanks to which vibrations will be created.
• The process of producing such products begins directly from the formation of a concrete mix. Everything is exactly the same as in the previous case, all the same proportions, etc. After the preparation of the source material, several forms will be required to repeat the geometry of the future tile. You can find various products of this kind, and the assortment is really wide. It should be borne in mind that it is better to purchase several forms to speed up the tile release process. Pouring material in the form, after which it is placed on vibration equipment. For less than a minute, it is necessary in order for the mixture to lose emptiness and other disadvantages that can create enormous problems when operating tiles. After some time after the above phase, the tile is removed from the form and is used to create a track.
• It should be borne in mind that not all tiles can correspond to the dimensions of the tracks in the country. If the owners thought to create a narrow path, then the major material will look at simply ridiculous. A good option is to use miniature forms or in expanding the boundaries of the track.
• If the products were made in accordance with a sufficiently fine technology, the tracks will serve as faithful for a long time. With not the most active operation of the surface, the service life will be impressive. For additional decoration of the track, you can use tiles of different colors or even forms, but you should think about such a venture in advance, since after the release of the source material something will change something difficult.
• Directly finished tile can be laid both in the sand and on the cement-sandy mixture. The first option is more than practical, since if necessary, small adjustments can be carried out associated with the formation of the surface. But at the same time, the cement surface will be really a durable layer that will serve for many years.
• The cost of such work will be even higher than in the case of a conventional concrete surface. But at the same time we gain a durable and beautiful surface, to get any other ways will not work. If the track is small, then the total cost of work will not be too large. The personnel manufacture of tiles is some kind of savings, but only if we facilitate huge amounts of work.

Bulk track at the dacha from rubble

• The tracks from the stone are often the most inexpensive, since only the main source material is often used in the process, which does not require major care and other events. At the same time, a stone, as a natural material, performs its decorative function quite well. The advantages of such a surface include general practicality, which is that, if necessary, it can succumb to any changes.

• The main task associated with the creation of paths from rubble is to prepare the territory. It should not have any failures, irregularities and other disadvantages that can lead to what is just walking along the path in the country will be a kind of problem. Accordingly, at the very beginning, the soil layer is removed, after which the cushion is created. It is best to use sand, but you can and the usual soil without porosity. It is advisable to use the vibrationboard or other equipment that will ensure the absence of voids. After that, the crushed stone is evenly located, which must be approximately one fraction. For easy walking, it is better to use small material, but at the same time, too miniature fraction can create some problems. If the track is created a little deeper than the level of the soil, then it will also improve the impressions of using the surface, and the crushes itself will not go anywhere from the surface.
• A huge plus from the creation of such a walkway lies in a really attractive appearance, and for this it makes sense to use crushed stone of different colors. Such a decision will additionally decorate the site, and at the same time will not focus on attention.
• As some modernization, it is also possible to use wood. The essence of the idea is to use boards, which are located across the tracks with a small interval. This decision, first of all, will allow you to increase convenience from walking along the track. In addition, you should not forget that wood, like natural material, will have a positive effect on the created landscape. But an important task is to necessitate additional processing of the material, since under the action of external factors, the usual board without processing quickly rotates. You can pay attention to the fact that many craftsmen are laying out on the Internet, since the paths based on boards are really a lot.
• There are large tracks in the countryside, and they can be created on the basis of rubble, and quite large. The main task here is that the appearance of the territory pleased the eye, so at the very beginning the track frames are created, it is best for this business to use a brick or tile. The track itself can also be divided into separate sectors, which are filled with various types of rubble. In this case, you need to be attentive, as in the end, the track may look awkward. In addition, the rubble fraction must be chosen in such a way that the material does not divert throughout the entire territory.

Tracks on the cottage from natural stone

• It is not a secret that natural stone is the best resource for a wide variety of works related to the design of the territories. In the case of a path in the country, we get a fairly difficult situation, since large units of material can create certain difficulties when walking.
• The main task is to select the stones to be used when creating a track. It is best if the stones have about the same geometry, otherwise it will be difficult to create some single composition: one of the stones will be written, the other is located below the rest. You can use stones of different fractions only if there is an idea in implementing a truly unusual surface.

• The main part of the work is to prepare the surface. Again, the upper part of the soil is removed, which is most susceptible to various deformations. After that, it will be necessary to place a stone in such a way that the whole composition corresponds to the level of the track surface. Ultimately, when all the stones are in their places, it is possible to fill the surface of the cement-sandy mixture. It is created about the same as in the very first variant of the track, but without the use of rubble. After cooking, the fill occurs, which is carried out carefully that the upper part of the stone is not affected. Ultimately, when cement freezes, we get a solid, durable and beautiful surface.
• The cost of such works can be high enough, and the main factor that plays the role in this is the price of stone. If the track takes the large area of \u200b\u200bthe plot, then the largest stone will need a lot, and this is not taking into account the cost of cement and other resources. If you approach this case with the mind and creative glance, the track is guaranteed to become the center of attention for many people. It is not worth saving in this method to create a surface, as it will ultimately become unattractive, or at all tasteless. It is best to take advantage of the design options that are available on the Internet.
