Path instead of crumpled grass
On the surface of the lawn trampled strip? Or they have become a true path? Then it's time to think about how to return the lawn attractive. If you often walk through a certain route, route paved paths. You can opt for a less expensive, but very effective compromise: Lay the tiles at some distance from each other. This variant is particularly suitable for small gardens, where the solid track would crash lawn into two parts, visually reduce its size.
Place the tiles size 40 × 40 cm at a distance of 60-65 cm from each other (step length of an adult of average height). They must be laid on the ground level, so that they do not interfere with mowing the lawn.
What material will be made tiles - a matter of taste. You can use natural or artificial stone, but sales there are also special tiles for lawn tracks a particular form. Surface paving grass must not be slippery. Since wood is quickly covered with moss, it can be used only where it will dry quickly.
Tracks from the bark and gravel
Grass track can pave the most diverse materials. Very natural look friable coating of gravel or crushed bark. Such tracks are good for lawns, but they look even better on the lawns.
The path covered with shredded bark, pleasantly springy underfoot and emits acrid smell of wood. The path of gravel will publish under your feet resounding crunch. For both of these types of tracks are not a lot of work on the preparation of the soil required. Remove the layer of earth with turf depth of about 10 cm and a trench fill about two-thirds of sand or gravel. This foundation can be laid flooring.

To track is not overgrown with weeds, on the basis of sand or gravel is recommended to lay a non-woven material, which will be laid on top of the gravel. Shredded bark itself inhibits the growth of weeds, but its layer in the track time will have to fill up the time.
In places where access and parking surface of the earth need to strengthen the car. To do this, fit lawn grids made of plastic or concrete. Such a coating will withstand a greater load and will not interfere with the grass to grow in the cells of the lattice.
The outflow of rainwater
The huge advantage of the rare tracks laid tiles or stones, as well as lawn grids is that they are not stagnant rainwater. Since the track paved closely contiguous tiles, do not possess this property, when laying tiles should be placed with a slight slope to one side-so that the water can drain to grass.
On a high flower grass lawn is better not to lay paved paths, both on the pitch, and trails. The easiest way along the paths of the future mow a strip of grass and from time to time to repeat a haircut. The width of the path depends on what purpose it will serve.
In any case, it should disperse two people easily.
