Garden paths - an integral part of landscape design. Construct them from different building materials: stone, concrete, brick, wood, and so on. This article will talk about the tracks from the brick. Or rather, about the technology of their paving.
How to put a path in the garden from ordinary brick
So, let's start with the fact that this requires a full-length brick, that is, without any holes and emptiness. It must be high quality, because it is from this that the long-term operation of garden alleys will depend on it.
Additionally, you will need sand and geotextiles. Instead of sand, you can use gravel, crushed stone, or a mixture of sand and rubble in a 1: 1 ratio.
First step - decide the width of the track And apply to the section of its contours. If it is Alya from the wicket to the house, the width of it can be extended to 2 m. If this is a garden path, then within 80 cm.
Marking spend Or a melan powder, or spicks, between which the twine (twine) is tightened. At the same time, the track itself does not necessarily be straightforward. The bends, taps, turns, connections with two or three paths - the usual landscape design.
The second stage on the construction of garden tracks from bricks - excavation. Their volume depends on whether the brick will be comfortable in the soil or remain on the surface. In the first case, the depth of the ditches under the path is 15 cm, plus the thickness of the brick. In the second case - only 15 cm.
The bottom of the trench is aligned and tamped. Then fall asleep with a 15-centimeter layer of coarse sand, which is also aligned and tamper. Better with water use.
Third stage - laying bricks. If it is not taken into the ground, then you will have to install limiters on the boundaries. These may be temporary elements or permanent. Temporary belongs to the bricks themselves laid on the edge. Or pumped metal or wooden pins. You can even use boards. That is, with the help of these elements, the border of alleys is formed, plus the stops that will not give the bricks to "dispense" in different directions.
About constant stops (limiters) must be told separately.
How to form the boundaries of the garden path
There are several options.
The first is the easiest. The boundaries form from the bricks themselves. So that they are with a high bearing capacity, brick blocks are installed vertically in length. That is, half up in the ground, the second half will stick over the ground. No fastening solutions and additional materials. The main thing is to accurately calculate the required number for the track, and for borders.
Of course, the vertical position of bricks in a stubborn device is optional. They can be put in length horizontally or with a slight bias. In the latter case, the corners of the blocks will drink, which will significantly differ from them from the main mass of the buildingterial, laid on the plane of the path. In the photo below, this option is shown.
Second option - use ready-made bordersMade from concrete or stone. On the market you can pick up these elements of landscape design in length, width and thickness, which is very convenient. For example, massive borders are suitable for wide allets, for narrow miniature.
Third Option - Monolithic Bordeur. It is made of a concrete solution, which is poured into the installed formwork. Usually the fill is made on the depth of the dug-up pit. The height of the protruding part may be greater than the thickness of the stacked brick. Width in the range of 5-10 cm. Subsequently, the concrete border is painted or facing, for example, ceramic tiles. If the concrete product is well polished, then it is not necessary to cover it for decorativeness. Concrete and brick look good in the bundle.
Fourth option - special angular bricks. They are placed in the laying of a garden path. At the same time, they must be mounted on the edge of the structure. It is its short side that they are held in the ground without giving elements of the finish.
On our site you can familiarize yourself with the most . In the filters, you can set the desired direction, the presence of gas, water, electricity and other communications.
Fifth option - these are special small sizes concrete Betings. They can be round shape, rectangular or polygonal. For example, the diameter of round products varies in the range of 10-12 cm, length is up to 30 cm. They are simply installed on the border of the path, often "plant" on a concrete solution. Be sure to align everything in height.
In principle, options for the formation of the boundaries of daccias of bricks - a huge amount. To add to the already designated:
a rock;
boot concrete, this is when the stones are poured with concrete solution;
paving tileinstalled on the edge;
bruster;
plastic pipesclosed with plugs.
Installation of bricks
So, a ditch under the path is ready, the boundaries are formed. It remains only to lay the brick itself. First of all, you need to decide on the laying scheme. There are not many options here. The easiest - in the type of bandagles, when cladding elements are laid with a half-stone displacement. And other schemes:
christmas tree;
finding whole brick and a half;
parquet styling;
figured.
We will not argue which option is better or worse, easier or more difficult, cheaper or more expensive. Just denote them in the photo below. And already every owner of the country area itself decides which he falls to taste.
And one moment. What a brick to do this should be chosen in terms of its color. Here again, the owner of the cottage decides. But keep in mind that the gardens of red bricks look brightly, they are well separated by a plot on the zone. They are difficult to hide even vegetation, but it is this fact that makes it possible to focus on the location of the path. This option enhances the functionality of the landscape design.
Many designers try to diversify the approach to the decoration of the allek. Therefore, combine bricks of different colors. But here you have to be neat. Especially the tracks of the local area. This element should not become the main design. He must emphasize the architecture and finish at home, and not to shade it.
So, go directly to the partition section of the track in the country of the brick. Immediately make a reservation that the main tool for this process is a construction level. Because every brick must be set as a horizon. At the same time, it must be in the same plane with the rest of the stones.
Stacking can be started from any end of the path. Exactly the selected scheme produces the installation of each brick. The elements of the finish are set to each other or leave a small gap between them. There is no need to strengthen the material by a masonry solution. If some brick is laid above the rest, then it is cleaned, removed a layer of sandy beams and installed in place. If, on the contrary, it turned out to be lower, then a little bit of sand or gravel is plundered under the block.
If the width of the track is large, then the process of laying bricks can be carried out in terms of the level, which is stretched between two peasants of the thread. That is, they score two cavals along the edges of the ditches, tie the thread to one of them, pulling her free end to the opposite peg, exhibit using a horizontal level and tied. It is on this stretched thread and lead bricks in one row.
When all the garden allest is laid with bricks, its plane sprinkles sand so that it fill in the seams between the elements of the finish. Gradually sweep sand from one edge to the opposite broom or brush. After that, it is better to hide the entire path with plenty of water. And then fall asleep with sand, so that he supplement the surface layer.
Video Description
The video is shown how to build a garden brick path:
English track
There is such a term in landscape design. In fact, it is the tracks from the old brick. They are placed without borders and other limiters. That is, a path is formed in the form of a ditch where sand falls asleep, and old bricks are placed on top of it. Their upper plane should be located on the ground damage or be slightly higher.
This is the easiest option that does not require large monetary and time costs. The only requirement is no vegetation that would germinate between cladding elements. Therefore, the bottom of the dug ditch covers geotextile. This material will not give plants to get through, but the water through itself he misses well. Geotextile lay so that it closes both the walls of the pit.
If this non-woven material is not, then there is a gap between the bricks within 1-2 cm, which is subsequently poured with cement-sandy solution. Just this option in the photo is shown below.

Conclusion on the topic
So, we have dealt with bricks for the paths in the country, we considered the options and technologies for the formation of the allelek, and also designated several ways, how to make the borders of the paths. It should be noted that brick alleys are not the most durable, let's say, like a stone or concrete. Under the action of water, minus temperatures, ice and snow brick fails. It begins to crack, flaw and collapse. This is especially true of the material from the category of "used in use." But even from the old brick, the track will last at least 10 years. And this is with small financial investments.
Old brick dacha will always come in handy. The maintenance of private economy is a rather complicated and responsible process aimed at constant care for buildings and maintaining their appearance. However, this work has many advantages to equip the site based on personal preferences and their own wishes. For the implementation of similar projects, a variety of materials and remedies available can be applied. Old brick is one of these products that are almost always available and can be recycled to build various objects.
The old brick, which remained after disassembling the stove or walls of the house, can be useful for refining a country area.
Using the old brick: the construction of a garden path with their own hands
To create a garden track, you can do the material of secondary use, which is almost always in the country area. Disassembling the old barn, the construction of a wave or repair of the house inevitably leave behind a lot of surplus, which can come in handy for the construction of garden tracks.
The main material of such structures serve as brick residues. Also, the garden track may include other challenging materials left after construction or disassembly of any object. It is easy to create this system with your own hands, and the result of the work will be a magnificent coating that can not only ensure the practicality of movement on the site, but become an decoration.
How to post a brick path? The procedure for creating such an object is a time-consuming and responsible containing many nuances. However, with the knowledge of the case and the skillful handling of the tool, the creation of a track on the country will take a little time. The brick pavement is manufactured in such steps:
- drawing up a construction plan;
- marking of the site;
- collecting tools;
- preparation of the foundation;
- formation of a border;
- laying brick;
- finish processing.
Tracks in the country, made of old bricks, must be performed according to the above scheme. This can only be guaranteed to obtain a durable and durable coating capable of becoming a dacha decoration and to serve for long years.
Preparatory work and tool collection
The country's country paths are performed on the basis of a construction plan containing a drawing of the future object and its technical characteristics.
At the same time, the plan has tremendous importance, since it is a visual mapping of the construction, which before that existed only in thoughts. Having created a detailed drawing, a person represents how such a sidewalk will look, and understands the feasibility of building on a particular site.
The next stage after drawing up the construction plan is marked by terrain. As a rule, it is performed using wooden columns and ropes connecting them between themselves. The delimitation of the garden plot makes it possible to see the contours of the future track of the brick, all its bends and turns.
As soon as the preparatory work is over, and the future garden tracks from the brick have found the form with the help of ropes and columns, you can proceed to the inventory collection.
This process is extremely important because it makes it possible to significantly accelerate and simplify work. Make a red brick track will help the next set of tools:
- roulette;
- pencil;
- hacksaw;
- rubber hammer;
- shovel;
- bucket.
The formation of a dacha sidewalk of brick and its finishing finish
What can be done with secondary raw materials? Can alone to build a border of bricks for flower beds.
The brick paths for the cottage are one of the most successful and bright objects in which the use of the cast material is almost imperceptible.

The next step is made by the base on which the brick surface will be laid. With the help of the shovel, it is necessary to dug a hole with a depth of 1 m throughout the area of \u200b\u200bthe path. After that, at its bottom, a cushion is formed from gravel, designed to ensure the removal of water from the surface. The crushed stone is poured and lines the sand layer that shakes the base for laying brick blocks.
According to the contour of the future track made of red brick, a wooden board is stacked, which plays the role of the border. Its purpose conditionally, because after completing the work, it should be removed. However, in the process of construction, it is simply indispensable because it helps to obtain an even plane.
Directly near it is placed bordered brick, which is stacked on the end. This placement will allow the path in the country not to break up and keep the form.

Between two borders, the blocks themselves are stacked with the help of a rubber hammer. In this case, each of them is set to the other in such a way that the gaps between them were minimal. Their elimination and formation of the monolithic surface is carried out using a rubber hammer. At the end of the finished plane of the red brick, the sand layer is poured, designed to fill the slots and the final track composition.
The arrangement and melting of the site involves creating tracks. Moreover, the requirements for them are quite serious: they must be reliable, comfortable, functional, beautiful and very desirable - inexpensive. On how to make garden tracks with your own hands with low cost, let's talk in this article.
What makes the tracks
The path of the track is solid or bulk. The following materials are used to create a solid coating:
- Concrete. Conceonated tracks are not only the usual gray tape. In addition, that there are dyes and it can be decomposed if desired. There are still forms to fill immediately in place. It turns out homemade paving slabs. Another option is to pour on your own small concrete slabs of the desired size, then put them on the subference. For examples of registration, see the photo.
- Flagstone. This is a natural stone that cut into the plates. It is placed on the prepared basis (about it further), the gaps are filled with backing. It turns out beautiful, reliable, several. No wonder it is the stone tracks from the tumka so love landscape designers.
- Brick. An ordinary ceramic brick is a beautiful material, but not for the tracks. He absorbs moisture, if then wet freezes, it breaks on the part. If you are going to make a path from a broken brick, then you can only walk on it more or a couple of years. Then you will have to redo. The resulting gaps will need to be covered with coarse sand or small rubble. A clinker brick will serve a lot longer on the track, but this option is not small-time called: the cost of one thing is from several tens of rubles.
- Tree. Such seemingly inappropriate material, but with proper processing, it can serve for a long time. Moreover, many of the wood made by their own hands can be attributed to the discharge of low-cost. For example, invented the use of hemps and spins of trees as borders or coverage. Also make flooring from well-processed boards - it's better to terrace, but if not, it will be suitable from the old floor.
- Plastic.There is a tile for garden tracks from plastic - polyethylene or polypropylene. It has a square shape and system of locks, which is attached one to the other. It can be stacked right on top of the lawn or the previously trotted in the country or on the trail site.
Option - quick and cheap. It can be called "with low costs." It is better, of course, to make the rules to the mouth of rubble and sand, and to lay plastic elements on top. This is a little longer and more expensive. There is still an indiscreet, but very beautiful version of plastic tiles for tracks. There is also a "garden parquet". These are plates or boards of wood-polymer composite - DPK (they are in the photo, look exactly like parquet). This material appeared relatively recently. In appearance and sensations, it looks like wood, and in essence - a mixture of wood flour and polymer. These are very beautiful coverage, but there is no modest value. Although not fabulous. - Pebbles. These are rounded natural stones that can be found on the banks of the rivers or lakes. For making tracks, more flat pebbles are suitable. There are different shades of gray, black, white, sometimes you can find burgundy. Of these stones laid alone to another, the mosaic paths are obtained by amazing beauty. But this is a lesson for the perfected and stubborn. Those who have a patience lack, can find large flat boulders or large pebbles and put them in the sand. It is not so luxurious, but no less reliable. You can also enroll with granite or other similar stones. It is important that at least one face is relatively flat. This flat part and exhibit up, the rest burst. Work is not easy, but on the track you can not only walk, but also ride.
- Screw materials. Country tracks make old tires and bottles.
There are still paths with a full-fledged coating: these are gravel or from rubble. Their feature is that with a small layer of 2-3 cm and with sufficient compaction, it is convenient for them. If a layer is slightly larger, irregularities are formed when walking, and such a walking tedious. Because you have seen in many photos, gravel and crushed stone are used as a backbone, which stacked hard elements from other materials. With proper execution, this is convenient: gravel is well conducted water and the puddles are not formed. Those who do not like the gray color can be advised to paint it: many designers do this when organizing rocaries.

How to make garden paths with your own hands
To know little, from which you can make garden tracks with your own hands. You need to know how to make them right, so that it serves not one season and not two. Laying of different materials may differ slightly, but there are several rules and actions that are repeated in any technology.
The first rule: When laying or forming a coating track, it makes it with a slight bias. If the material allows, a slope of several centimeters do on both sides from the center. If, for example, a concrete track is poured, the slope is formed in one direction - from the house, if it is nearby. The slope is taken to the lower part of the site if the track is located on the slope.
Second rule: Under any coverage requires the preparation of the base. If you put stones (for example) right in clay or loam, use, of course, it will be definitely more convenient to walk, but the stones are "staring" after some time. Simply will lead to clay. When the device is a subfolder, this will require much more time. And if you still do a drain pillow and a side, the water removal will be even more efficient, and everything will look even more beautiful.
Third Rule: The level of covering the track must be a pair of centimeters higher than the adjacent area. Then the water will quickly go, it will be more convenient to clean, and cleaning will need less frequently: there will be no blurred earth or during rains, neither during watering the flower, which often makes along the tracks.

Step-by-step instruction
Making garden tracks with your own hands, start with markup. In theory, dimensions and shape should be applied to the site plan, and the markup should occur on the project. But most often everything is done at the place. In order to be viewed, the future track is visually, its contours can be pre-spinning with white sand or something like that. If the form arranges, you can drive the pegs and pull the twine between them, but you can also work on the ot.
- Between two marks remove the turne. The ditch depth should be about 15-25 cm.
- On the edge, the border is bored if it is provided.
- The bottom of the ditches align, removing the roots, stones, eliminating significant pits or hillocks. Dno trambet (tamping in the photo below).
- Put a layer of rubble large or medium fraction. To save budget, you can fall asleep a broken brick, another major construction trash. If there is a vibroplitis - excellent, if not, take something similar to the tool in the photo (you can make a big log, to which you drink across the handle). Such a tool align the bottom. If garbage was falling asleep, you need to squeeze the rubble slightly a little and put it again.
- The layer of geotextiles on top. His edges climb lifting with sides or even slightly higher. This layer is better not to skip. It does not allow sand, which is usually poured on top to crushed stone, prevents from growing the roots of plants that destroy the path. Very useful thing.
- Sand pour into geotextile. Its layer should be so that the laid coverage is slightly higher than the overall level on the site. The sand first spread the shovel, then, evenly distributing, roll up with robbles. Then the trambet and level into the level. To align the sand level, you can use a rule (a construction tool that is often used when pouring a concrete floor) or simply take a large line, a construction level, a flat rack. Sometimes you have to plunge several times, to rub, smooth. It is advisable to achieve an ideal surface.
- In the sand, they laid stone, pebbles, plate, blocking, bricks, etc. They put them in the right place, then knock the rubber Cyans: drive deep into the sand.
Along the beautiful track, you can place a flower garden or flower bed. How to do them, read here.
Beautiful track of pebbles do it yourself
If with a tumor, a paving, brick, more and less clearly - everyone has already seen and more than once, as it is done, then how to lay the pebbles in the patterns are incomprehensible.
The photo report on the manufacturing process of pebbles is posted below. It shows the main techniques: lines are applied to the aligned sand, which will spread the pebbles. If these are arcs, they are done using threads and two sticks / nails.
Selecting the stones, they lay them on the edge close to each other, slightly beating in the sand.
The board is placed on the folded pattern, take a rubber image and knocking on the board, scoring pebbles in the sand. So the whole drawing is plunged, following the edges of the pebbles on the same height.
Take a mixture of sand and cement (sand 2 parts, cement 1 part) and pour gaps, moving with a brush layer.
The fragment of the pebble track is gently watered with water so that the backup does not blur. Waiting for several hours, while a little grab cement, then the surplus is removed with a soft brush.
It is important not to miss the moment: the solution should not get dirty, but also become a stone too. If you pick it up with your finger, it should crumble. It's time to clean the surplus.

Wooden hemp and crushed stone track: video
Old logs or trees can be turned into a beautiful track. From cutting into a scrabacle of the desired length, the facial spice is grinning, all the wood is treated first the composition of the biomoshtics (can be powered by spent oil). After drying, dip in Kuzbas varnish and dried again. Then cover the paint of the desired color facial pieces of hemp - which will be outward. We are dried again and only then exhibit in the sand.
The process is described in detail in the video. This is step by step explains how to make gardens tracks from hemp or logs with their own hands.
We independently make a concrete track
The process is generally similar to the one that is described in the beginning. There are some differences about which and talk.
After the trench is dug, and the bottom is aligned, formwork is installed along both sides. These are boards from 25 mm thickness (it is thicker, it is thinner undesirable, you can use the phaneer with a thickness of 16-18 mm, chipboard). Their height is the height of the track. If you form a bias, the boards should be placed with its account - one side is slightly higher, the other is just below.
To make a formwork, a pegs are driven into the ground with a step of no more than 60 cm. They nourish the boards. The inner surface of the formwork is better to smear through working or other oil: to be removed easily. Next to the bottom, crushed stone and tram. But it is necessary to rub it thoroughly: if you go along the bottom, it should not be seen.
Further, so that the track does not crack, the metal reinforcing grid is stacked on crushed stone. The strut thickness is 4-6 mm, step 5-10 cm. It is sold by pieces, they must be bonded with a steel wire.
Then, to compensate for expansion in the winter period, it is necessary to put a wooden plank with a thickness of 1.5-2 cm. They are made across the tracks, exhibit so that the height of the planks was to flush with formwork boards. Compensation strips are exhibited at least every 2 meters. More often, it is less common - no. Why make more often? For beauty. Squares look better than long rectangles.
A concrete solution of the brand is poured into the finished frame at least M-250 (about the brands of concrete and make it cooking here). For him, take 1 part of the cement, 3 pieces of sand, 4 - rubble. Everything is kneaded into a solution of average yield (thick sour cream) and poured into a formwork. When pouring, you need to monitor so that there are no air bubbles. To remove them, the solution is picked up with a pin, slightly sharing it - plump. Ideal if there is a surface vibrator for concrete - it quickly seals the solution, creating a perfectly smooth surface. If it is not, you will have to double the rule, using the edges of the formwork as lighthouses.
After a few hours, after the concrete is captured, you can process the surface. It can be left as it is, you can spend a rigid brush on it, making transverse strips, you can finally be put in a not quite hardened solution to lay pebbles, stones, tensile, etc. It is not very economical, but reliably. After a couple of days, the formwork can be removed, and on the track can already be walking.

An attractive budget track in the garden plot can be made even from the construction trash. It is not at all difficult.
A few years ago, I became a happy owner of a household plot of 8 acres and not fully completed house. I decided to give a more neat view of the site with the help of interesting garden tracks made from the construction garbage left after the end of construction.
Small pieces of brick, concrete, granite, plastic packaging from building materials of different colors - all this can be used to create tracks.
To begin with, thought out location, form and material future track. Then prepared foundation for her. It did in order not to happen the premature "drowning" paths into the soil.
So that the track made by their own hands looked decently, I had to work hard. Initially, my husband was placed the place of the future walkway and dug out for her tranche 15 cm deep. Next was covered with a large slag, pebbles, sand layer 10-12 cm. Then he poured all the water and thoroughly tamped. Then track fenced by blacks, giving it to her smooth shape, the bends made with a thick plastic (it can be bent as you like), then saturate sand with such a calculation so that the track rises over the soil about 4 cm. Then they began to make it basic topon which you need to walk. Borders did not. Of course, it is more beautiful with them, but the flow of water from the track during the rain will deteriorate significantly.
Then we prepared concretewho flooded the path. For a pedestrian zone in the garden, low-hour inexpensive concrete and small fillers were used. We knead a concrete solution from water, sand, fine rubble and cement. Next floated formwork from boards and plastic with a solution and laid out patterns from fragments of stones of different magnitude, pieces of concrete and broken bricks. It gave a path to a fairly interesting appearance. In addition, it is quite strong and last for many years.

Benefits, disadvantages and types used
The main advantages of the use of bricks for paving pedestrian tracks are simplicity of laying, availability and possibility of using residues after the construction of the house, including broken fragments.
However, the pavement surface covered with wall outdoor wall material is not distinguished by durability. Already in two or three years under the influence of moisture and frost, ordinary brick can collapse. To avoid this, you can recommend:
- treat stones with a hydrophobizer or moistureproof varnish;
- use a special clinker brick;
- buy imitating paving slabs.
Treatment of ordinary clay brick with hydrophobic composition should be carried out at least two times with its full immersion in the liquid. This will ensure the stability of the brick to the effects of moisture and increase its frost resistance.
At the same time, it is necessary to take into account that the validity of the hydrophobizer is no more than five years. After this, the surface of the track must be processed again. The service life of the lacquer coating is determined by the intensity of the operation of the brick path.
Scheme of a brick track. Clinker brick is practically moisture and therefore almost not destroyed over time. It is more expensive than ordinary, but the garden track from it will be distinguished by durability and more beautiful views.
The carpet of bricks can be posted as:
- longitudinal pattern with classic spoonful dressing;
- alternations of vertical and horizontal series;
- "Christmas trees" at an angle of 45 ° or 90 °;
- single or double "braid".
There are also more complex patterns, but for the laying with their own hands it is recommended to use these.
Methods of paving. Necessary materials and tools
In addition to bricks, for the track device you will need sand, a crushed stone of the middle fraction, Cement PC400 and geotextile - nonwoven waterproofing material.
Tool for work:
- bayonet and soviet shovel;
- manual tamping or tamping machine;
- capacity for kneading the solution and preparation of cement-sand mixture;
- measuring Roulette 5-10 m;
- marking cord;
- pegs;
- rubber and ordinary hammer;
- construction workman.
For masonry track from broken brick, you may need an angular grinder (Bulgarian) with a diamond circle for processing uneven edges.
Marking
Marking and garbage excavation. To perform the marking of future tracks and platforms, use spicy, cord and tape measure. They should take place at least two meters from the trees, since growing roots can lead to the destruction of the base. The garden track should be so width so that two people can dispense with it without covering the coating.
The cord on the carriages should not be strongly saved. To do this, the distance between them do no more than 5 meters. Turns are recommended to do smooth so that the car or trolley can turn them. In places of turns, the number of pegs increase.
Preparation of the foundation and installation of border
Laying geotextile. To improve the basics of the garden track from bricks, it is necessary to remove 20-25 cm surface soil in accordance with the markup. The bottom of the resulting trench pour the sand layer with a thickness of 2-3 cm and well tumped. After that, the geotextiles across the width and length of the track. This will make it possible to effectively dignify down, not allowing its admission to the base. In addition, the nonwoven canvas will exclude the growth of weed plants through the basis and brick coating.
Flip the sand layer with a thickness of 2-3 cm on top of geotextile, and 10 cm rubble on it and sink well. The sand is necessary so that the sharp edges of the stones do not break the cloth. The rubble layer will perform the role of drainage for removing the incoming moisture and prevents the arrangement of the base of the track.
An option using a sandy base. The drainage layer must be sprinkled with sand, lean the crushed stone and put another layer of geotextile on it. At the edges of the track, install a curb, which can be concrete, plastic or made of bricks laid on the edge. The fastening of border material is performed with its own hands using a cement solution or stakes stabbed from steel reinforcement.
Next, on the geotextile canvas, put a sand or dry cement-sandy mixture. Surface is well sinking and align using a plastering rule or flat wooden bar, taking into account the flow of water from the surface after masonry. Dry cement-sand mixture provides increased strength and coating stability. With small loads on the sidewalk, you can use the basis of their pure river sand.
Laying bricks
The ceiling of the garden track is performed in accordance with the pre-selected pattern.
The stones are put on a sandy or cement-sand surface, slightly rushing them with a rubber hammer for landing in place. The identified elements need to be removed and squeeze under them a little sand or mixture. The slopes for water removal are tested by the construction level, and a flat surface with plastering rule or wooden bar. If the bar is used, then alignment can be made easy tapping on it.
After laying the brick, a slightly dry cement-sand mixture is poured onto its surface, and then the brush is labeled for filling the seams and spill the surface with water. After 2-3 days, after the cement in the seams grab, this procedure must be repeated.
Finally
Brick garden track is an affordable solution for landscaping with your own hands. However, the usual wall brick requires pre-treatment with hydrophobic materials, which will provide its protection against the destructive impact of moisture and frost. If you use clinker brick, the pre-processing of the material is not required.
It is very important to correctly make the base of the track - with the device of the drainage layer and laying geotextiles. In addition, all layers of base should be well tumped to further, during operation, the drawdown and the destruction of the surface are not formed.

Training
To lay the tracks from the bricks, it should be ensured that there are necessary tools:
- Shovels:
- soviet;
- bayonet.
- Tamble:
- manual;
- gasoline.
- Saw.
- Measuring tool:
- roulette.
- Pegs and thread.
- Building level.
To facilitate the work, it is possible to take a grinder instead of a saw, and instead of a manual tamper - gasoline. The sidewalk from brickwork is easier to use an automatic tool. The paths must be even, so it is better to make sure that the construction level is correctly calibrated and shows correctly.
Each household plot ideally has a system of paths and paths.
They should be clearly designed in advance, because it is the shortest path from one facility to another will make stay on the territory as comfortable and comfortable.
At the same time, if the track is located correctly, it can save a lot of personal time and strength.
When it comes to the start of work, most of the majority immediately appears, how to put a track, which materials to use, their main quality characteristics, how to properly and competently make a breakdown. Therefore, everyone should be announced in order.
Basic Types of Garden Roads from Stone and Brick
All tracks, in the style of the decision, there are two types: landscape (that is, smooth, winding and rounded forms, always asymmetric) and regular (located in direct direction, or by diagonal, characteristic is symmetry in all directions).
As for the materials that are used for their device, several main species can be distinguished.
Garden tracks from stone are among the most popular, due to the set of variants of paving and methods of the device. Also, the decorativeness of such elements is very high.
Stone is considered natural material. Due to its strength, the path will last for a long time. Because of some of its properties, such as special decorativeness, naturalness, beauty, strength and durability, this material has won widespread use not only to calculate tracks, but also in the landscape design device as a whole.
In the invoice, you can find a smooth surface, and rough, and rude enough. In the color spectrum, the stones paving is presented widespread (green, red, gray, black, and other colors). However, the shortcomings are still present - this is the cost, weight. The most expensive include marble, granite, porphyr and basalt. For the budget version - sandstone and limestone.
If the value of the second variant is approximately 150-500 r. / M 2, the price of the first average of from 1 thousand rubles / m 2, some copies can reach 14 thousand rubles / m 2.
Stone for paving tracks can be 2 species - processed or not subjected to such a process. Therefore, you can select several types: flat, round, decorative, due to the natural image. However, the paths are still obtained aesthetic and attractive.
Garden tracks from bricks Constantly are in rivalry with the first kind of popularity, due to good technical and qualitative characteristics.
Brick for the track device has a specific name - clinker. Such a material is not able to absorb moisture at all. And laying technology, very simple, in three layers: pebbles, or crushed stone - concrete solution - brick. All seams must be chosen by a special mixture. Between them often sowned lawn grass, which creates a special effect.
You can argue that most people have such material on the plots. And therefore, using it, their own funds will be spent. The garden track from the old brick will last for a long time, not leaving the negative effects of the environment. This option will also be very economical, from finance, and practical.
The path from the broken brick requires the calculation of the pre-prepared sand pillow, followed by the closeup of all the cracks. Thanks to the presence of such a material, you can not fear that on a rainy day it will become slippery and inconvenient. Therefore, safety for movement in any weather will be provided.
Concrete Garden Tracks Conquered their owners strength and durability.
But the aesthetics remains practically in the last place, which speaks of low indicators, and on additional work on the decoration of the element itself. This can be done by indulging in various stones, glasses, having received a beautiful mosaic as a result.
Combined garden tracks allow you to make a plot even more diverse and beautiful. This is achieved by a combination of several materials. For example, color tiles with gravel, paving a brick.
The number of options and combinations in the pavements of garden tracks simply amazes. Therefore, any owner of the country area will be able to make a path with their own hands, or from bricks, or from stones. It will only be necessary to choose suitable materials. The main is fantasy and skill.
Interesting design ideas:
Dry stream - this design is achieved by making the path of winding and smooth outlines. It can be used as a coating of gravel, and many years of painting plants, cereals or some shrubs will look around.
Patterned path - you can create a design idea using multicolored stones laid out in certain ornaments and patterns.
Interesting is the variant of the garden path made of stones, neatly laid out, between which the backstage (pebbles, chips, can fall on the lawn grass, and so on).
Self-laying tracks in the country
Some do not even realize that laying tracks in the country can be a completely independent process that will not require many times and strength. The main thing is to know specific stages for improvement that will help to cope with this task.
Consider such a process on the example of paving the tracks with a stone. The most popular material is the sandstone, which looks worthily and the price is considered to be one of the most attractive. The main characteristics are frost resistance, density, durability and durability.
The appearance of the material is represented by plates of ripped forms, various sizes. In addition, the following products are manufactured from sandstone: paving slabs and plane.
In order for a beautiful stone walkway in the garden, the following materials and tools will be required: rubber hammer, cord, shovel, construction level, trowel, sand and gravel.
Stages:
- From the very beginning, the contours of the future track are drawn, which is done with the help of a cord that knocks off the border.
- Earth turns out to the bayonet shovel.
- Gravel is falling asleep and exposed to the rambling.
- The sand is embanked by sand, which is stacked by a pavement, simultaneously adjusted by the hammer.
- And only then the construction level is used that checks the evenness of a practically finished garden track.
- At the very end, everything falls asleep with sand to fill the gaps.
Here is a track and ready, and in the video presented, you can learn more about the stages in the device of the garden element from the tumor:
The stone path in the garden, like the brick, concrete, are the most popular, inalienable parts of any homeland territory. Therefore, its organization and device requires a thrift and attentive approach.
After all, it is necessary to construct this element in the wrong place, under an inappropriate angle, as discomfort and inconvenience will immediately feel. This also applies to the choice of building material, which will have to deal with enough long time.
If you attach all your smelter and creativity, even the most modest summer cottage can turn into something unusual, fabulous and very beautiful.
Garden paths made of bricks are a functional element of the country area. To make them yourself, you will only need to explore the question and follow the recommendations.
Advantages and disadvantages
The selection of brick has a number of advantages: the laying will be simple, raw materials are available on sale, and it is inexpensive, moreover, you can use both a whole brick and its fragments. True, such a design will not differ in durability and under the constant influence of precipitation and temperature drops after 2-3 years the details will begin to crumble.
Use bricks to create a walkway on your site.
In order for the design less than the processes of destruction, you can process the masonry details with a special moisture-repellent substance, while construction take clinker bricks or buy imitating tiles. In this case, the processing of raw materials should be performed by means of a complete immersion in the substance, and repeat this stage at least 2-3 times. So will increase resistance to humidity and frost.
It is also important to remember that the service life of moisture-repellent substances is usually about 5 years. After the expiration of this time, it will be necessary to re-repeat the processing. The action of the varnish depends on how intensively the construction is operated.
The clinker is characterized by a high level of moisture resistance and therefore is little prone to destruction. It is more durable and more attractive in appearance, however, the price is higher than usual.
Video "Garden Track with your own hands"
In this video, the main stages of construction tracks are clearly shown:
Preparatory stage
You can independently, even without the presence of great construction experience, build a path in your country. For this clearly follow all instructions. When you understand what kind of track you want, you need to decide on materials and other nuances that do not relate directly to construction work.
Localization and markup
When choosing a place, consider such moments:
- The width and smoothness of turns should be such that two people could disamble without any problems or a loaded car was driving.
- The route must be such that access to all parts of the yard is even in bad weather.
- The construction should be no closer to 2 meters from the trees, since the root system can disrupt the integrity of the masonry.
- It is necessary to coordinate the watering system so that the water does not pour the surface of the trail, otherwise it will be blurred and collapsed. If there is no possibility to coordinate, then you need to make a small bias and ditches to flow water.
To post a future building take wooden pegs, roulette and rope. Place the pegs at a distance of 3-4 m around the perimeter, and on the turns to increase their quantity.
Choosing raw materials for masonry, stop at one of these types:
- paving brick or tile;
- clinker;
- masonry ceramic;
- laming.
Keep in mind that a broken brick can be used for a pedestrian zone, but if he is harmonized with the rest of the site design.
Defined with the parameters of the brick, rely on the view of the pattern of the future track, as well as its length and width.
When determining the required type, follow this principle:
- calculate the number of materials that will accurately enter the width of the structure when laying;
- equally calculate the length;
- curlerate the optimal ratio of the size of the raw materials so that after the installation there is a minimum of unspent raw materials, and the number of required debris was minimal.
Taking into account all the factors, make a design project, while trying to designate all parameters as soon as possible. The correctness of the drawing will help to avoid shortcomings at the construction stage, and the knowledge of the size of the future building and the size of the materials directly affects the aesthetics of the structure.
Technological sequence
After the project is drawn up, time to purchase raw materials and get tools.
So, besides the stone, purchase cement, waterproofing film (for example, geotextile), stock sand and crushed stone.
From the tools you will be needed:
- shovel;
- mortar packaging;
- the hammer is the usual and with a rubber knob;
- roulette;
- level;
- rope;
- master OK;
- gloves.
Preparation of the foundation
The base of the construction is made according to the algorithm described below. To begin with the markup, remove the ground so that the recess is 20-30 cm in depth. On the bottom, make a sand pillow of 2-3 cm and sink. Next, make the future track with a waterproofing material. It is necessary for the removal of moisture and the inadmissibility of the germination of plants at the base.
Hide rubbank under the other layer of sand and shutter a new layer of geotextile. After - again, the sand layer or dry mixture of cement and sand. The latter will increase the strength and stability of the masonry.
The resulting base is thoroughly misstress using a wooden bar or plastering rule, while take into account the need to ensure the flow of water after styling the raw materials.
Cutting works
Before proceeding with the direct laying, you will need to select the pattern. Now there are many decorative laying options:
- the Christmas tree with a straight angle and 45 ° - the stones are under the tilt;
- braided plain and double;
- alternation of vertical and horizontal series;
- the bias of the series - the joints do not intentionally coincide;
- masonry with geometric patterns - laying out squares, rhombuses, etc.
Sequence of work:
- Remove part of the sand along the boards.
- Along the entire path in the recess, lock the border. In this case, all items must be tightly installed to each other and form a solid line.
- Now starting from the edge consistent next, start laying out the brick in accordance with the selected pattern. Each stone should be neatly fixed on the basis of a rubberized hammer.
- Each subsequent row should be equal to the already laid. Elements should fit tightly to each other so that there are no cracks and gaps, strive to collect monolithic masonry.
- To eliminate the formation of overcasts periodically monitor and check the smooth masonry using a construction level. At the same time, remember about the need to create a light inclination of the entire surface to displays precipitation.
- If defects still appeared, a cracker or the same rubberized hammer, correct their scoring even or, on the contrary, getting the elements of the coating. Then replete the flatness of the line and go on if the defect is fixed.
- After the installation is complete, float the surface of the sand layer in the cement. Thoroughly crumpled it with a mop with a pile or broom so that all formed gaps filled. So the bulk mixture will fill the gaps, the elements will be built with each other and increase the strength of the masonry.
- When the gaps are eliminated, remove the residues of sand from the surface.
Laying border
An important detail of your track is a curb line. It can be made of concrete, plastic, stone or other materials. As we have already spoken, the border is placed in a specially dumped recess and fixed by cement mortar.
If you stopped on the brick, you can post it horizontal rows or teeth. To do this, you need to install them on the edge and catch up with a rubber hammer. During the layout, it is also necessary to check the levels of level.
You can also take the material for the curb to the curb, which is at hand: glass or plastic bottles, glass fragments or bricks.
To lay out a border of bottles, they first need to fill with sand, and the use of fragments allows you to make a mosaic pattern.
Threaded work with old material
If you need to save a budget, you can do with low costs using broken bricks. The process of laying a garden path from fragments has some features. As a rule, parts of ordinary red bricks are used.
So, for such a masonry you will need, in addition to the standard set of tools, also bollard with a diamond circle to process uneven edges.
So, you will also need to protect the perimeter, set the stakes and make a recess 25-30 cm. The process of creating the base is identical to an ordinary option. The most time-consuming part of this work is the laid out of the broken parts so that they formed a flat smooth surface. To do this, you need to choose pieces more, at least with one smooth surface and rubber Cyans, drive them into the base. In this case, the depth of such a drive will be different. In this case, you will need more often to resort to the help of the construction level. Try so that the gaps between the elements are no more than 2-3 mm.
After completion, also wake the finished array with a mixture of cement so that all the slots are clogged and eliminated the remaining layer.
The construction of the track in the country with their own hands is a rather time consuming process. Nevertheless, you can independently make this work reservoir and get a satisfactory result, which will be both practical and designer attractive. To do this, learn the variants of the patterns, purchase the required material, make a drawing and follow the step-by-step instructions. And remember: in any work, your security is paramount.
