Paths at the dacha carry out both utilitarian functions, and esthetic. On them it is convenient to pass in rainy weather when around slush and dirt. They give well-groomed and complete view of all surrounding territory. Paths at the dacha can be absolutely different – everything depends on your personal preferences and material resources. But anyway, that they served long, it is necessary to treat their laying responsibly.
It is required to you
- - wedges;
- - lace;
- - curbstone;
- - bars;
- - coarse gravel;
- - sand;
- - fuel oil or asphalt.
Instruction
1. For a start solve, for what purpose you are going to do paths whether they will be exposed to considerable loadings. If durability of paths is important for you, then concreting with mesh reinforcement, asphalting or laying of thick concrete tile will be the most optimal variant. If your purpose – beauty and harmony on the site, then are suitable for its construction brick, decorative tile, cross saw cuts of trunks of trees, etc. To each type of covering there corresponds the basis.
2. After you have solved from what will be path, make its marking in the territory in the direction and the sizes. For this purpose it is possible to hammer small wedges on contours of future path and to stretch through them to lace.
3. Smooth roughnesses and on marking remove soil layer on the necessary depth. It depends on land relief and thickness of the basis which you are going to make. Usually dig trench on shovel bayonet depth.
4. If you are going to issue edges of path borders, then can put them already at this stage. Establish ready concrete slabs at the edges of trench, having recorded them from rear side (from soil) cement slurry. If you pour out borders independently, then this work can be put away for later when you already make path.
5. At installation of borders or if they are not, at registration of edge calculate small bias that subsequently water could flow down freely from path. For this purpose one party of borders or casting boards has to be established on level a little above another. If path wide, then it can be done without bias on one party, but is a little higher in the center.
6. On edge of trench establish timbering from boards and do not forget to make struts of cross bars through each one and a half meters.
7. Lay filling brick, coarse gravel, beaten brick, slag or construction waste on bottom of deepening by layer not less than 10 cm. This charge it is abundant water and carefully stamp. It is necessary to add water and to stamp, perhaps, not once. To define quality of the basis, take piece of filling brick, put it on the stamped site and come. If this piece is pressed into the basis, ram still.
8. Fill from above smaller material (for example, granotsev) layer of 5-7 mm and again well stamp everything. Then fill 2-5 more cm of sand. After that it is possible to stack covering – tile, concrete, red brick and so forth.
9. Try to stack tile and brick as it is possible more densely to each other and if you want to leave slots for germination of decorative grass, fill them with sand and water it.
10. If you stack path from asphalt, then on basis fill granotsev, asphalted and in warm look level it and stamp. And then lay the finishing layer of asphalt 30 mm thick.
11. Before laying of path from wooden bars, impregnate each bar with fuel oil or asphalt. It is necessary to stack them on substrate from sand. Fill up ready covering with sand and well water that sand has densely closed all slots.
