1. Bristly coating
The paths between the beds can be laid out with a bristly covering. Thus, it is often used for the production of outdoor rugs. The structure of the material allows any amount of moisture to pass through without water accumulation and the formation of puddles. The bristly material does not slip after rain and prevents weeds from growing. Such a coating is laid on a flat, rammed ground.
The bristly coating is sold in rolls of different sizes. The cost starts from 500 rubles per sq. meter and varies depending on the pile height, density and base material.
It is worth noting that from a distance such a coating looks like a well-groomed lawn, which makes it possible to use it for landscape design.
2. Lawn grill
With the proper knowledge, patience and a considerable budget, the paths can be sown with lawn grass. The basis for the live cover will be a special grid. It will keep the surface flat for a long time, and also prevent the appearance of pits.
In addition to the decorative appearance, such paths can be considered the height of practicality. The surface does not slip after rain, small puddles dry up within a few hours, and the lawn grass does not give a chance even to aggressive weeds.
You can buy a lawn grate at a major home improvement store or gardening store. The cost of the simplest copies starts from 50 rubles per module.
3. Garden tiles - grille
Lattice tiles are another practical material for creating a durable and beautiful path between the beds. It will take a whole season to form a full-fledged lawn, but if everything is done correctly, the coating will last for many years. The lawn grass will prevent weeds from germinating, and the cellular structure will allow it to instantly absorb moisture even after heavy rain.
The price of such a coating starts from 500 rubles per 1 sq. meter. The final cost should include a rather expensive delivery, since the weight of one tile can reach 35 kg.
4. Rubber crumb tile
Crumb rubber tiles can be found in playgrounds, stadiums and running tracks. This material, dense at first glance, perfectly permeates water over its entire surface. Does not slip or swell when it rains. Not afraid of temperature extremes, sun and severe frosts. As with other covering materials, it guarantees the absence of even the most tenacious weeds.
The material can be purchased either as separate tiles or in the form of a rolled track. Such a coating is laid on a flat, rammed ground.
5. Terrace board
Decking made of wood-polymer composite will become another practical material for strengthening the surface of paths. WPC does not rot, does not fade and is not afraid of frost. The ribbed surface of the boards does not slip both during and after rain. Paths made of decking are always distinguished by their expensive and well-groomed appearance.
The main disadvantage of such tracks is the high cost and complicated installation process.
