Dacha tracks made of wood create a smooth and harmonious transition from the grounds near the house to the garden lawns. Most often they are used in cases where the site is undesirable to pave, for example, under trees, and also if the site has a slope and elevations in height.
The practicality of the tracks made of wood depends on the climate of the region where you live, as well as the availability and prices of wood. The most acceptable wooden paths in the gardens with a continental climate, for example, in Siberia. But for the European part, with a more humid climate, the wooden paths are less practical, because they quickly rot and become slippery on rainy days.
Varieties of tracks made of wood in the country
Most often for the tracks use wooden sleepers. They are sold already processed, and if they are laid on a properly prepared surface, they will last long enough. Only it is not recommended to use sleepers, which were previously laid on the railway, because they are toxic and produce a bad and sharp smell when heated.
The popularity of today is gaining garden paths from the spills. Spills of different diameters are laid in analogy with the pavement. To protect against weeds, a geotextile is placed under the path, and the gaps between the logs are filled with moist sand or small gravel. Looks like the paths in the garden from the spits of the tree are simply stunning.
Another option, more reminiscent of the paving path made of wood, is laid out by decking ( garden parquet ). Ready tiles are very easy to fit, and later serve very, very long.
The combined tracks made of wood and concrete are quite original and beautiful. That's only when laying such tracks you need to take into account the different density of materials and their different thicknesses. After you dig out a trench for the track, you will need to lay out for different materials different thicknesses of cushions of sand and gravel.
For garden paths, you can also use already worn out wooden slats. They are first knocked into wooden shields, and then used as a cover for tracks. Only at first under them is laid rubble, as a result of which the path turns slightly elevated above the ground level.
If there are significant differences in your garden, you can make steps on the path of the path. This will only add to the garden of beauty and originality. Now the unevenness of the land will no longer irritate you, but will become a delightful place in the garden, which will be successfully beaten by wooden paths.
