Colds came, which means that motorists began to change tires for winter ones. I myself have recently "changed" my iron horse. At the tire service, I saw how one summer resident came for free building materials for his site. And he needed used tires.

In this article, I will show you several ways to use old tires that will help you save money on construction work.

Removing puddles

If your area has clay soils, then puddles haunt you. Even the slightest rain can form a puddle that will not go into the soil for a long time. But there is a way out of the situation. In the lowland, it is necessary to make drainage wells, thanks to which water will be absorbed into the ground. You need to dig a hole down to the sand layer, put the tires inside and fill them with rubble. That's it, you got rid of the problem.

Reinforcement for slopes

If your site has uneven terrain, then there is a high risk of landslides. Even the most even slopes gradually begin to slide down. It would be possible to sow the soil with special grass for the lawn, because it strengthens the soil. But you need to spend money on it and take care of it. It is best to use tires. They need to be dug in vertically to the very top of the slope. Pour dirt inside the tires. With this protection, spring landslides are not scary.

Smoothing the relief

If there are large differences in relief on the site, then lay old tires on it. Cover them with soil on top, and the garden area will become even and beautiful. If the relief drops are too large, then fasten the tires together.

Grounds for construction

Old tires are perfect as formwork for a columnar foundation. If heaving soils prevail in your area, then this option is definitely yours. Tires need to be buried to a freezing depth, and covered with a special filler on top. If the soil has a different composition, then the tires must be poured with concrete mortar.

Unique paths for the garden

Not many people know that tires can make beautiful garden paths. You need to cut off the side pieces of the tires. The resulting tape can be spread anywhere.

Or even so ...
