Natural stones for a path are an amazing material traditionally used to create garden paths - an integral element of landscape design. Agree that stone (albeit decorative) can be called a particle of nature. Perhaps that is why it looks great in every garden. No one will remain indifferent, contemplating various combinations of shades and textures in conjunction with bright lawns and flower beds.
Natural stone for paths is ideal for arranging various sites in the garden, despite their functional purpose and operating conditions. Since this material has excellent operational properties, it will perfectly serve more than a dozen years in any climatic conditions. If laid correctly, the stone will withstand constant cycles of freezing and heating, exposure to moisture, sunlight and will not change color and relief. Also, stones for the track are considered safe for human health, because they do not chemically react with environmental substances. And this means that laying the tracks with
natural material is an excellent and safe decoration of the site for many years.
Stones for the track: varieties
Today, garden areas are paved with the following rocks: granite, schists, sandstone, shungite and quartzite. The strongest and strongest, resistant to weathering, frost and high humidity is granite, which consists of quartz, mica and feldspar. It also has a wide range of colors - from gray to dark red materials. Very popular stones for the track, consisting of natural sandstone, which is not as strong as granite, but also very durable. It is an easy-to-process material that can easily be shaped into a variety of shapes. Mainly for paving garden areas use flagstone, cobblestones, chipped pavers, boulder and sawn stone. The most popular flagstone - flat slabs with chipped edges - ideal for pedestrian areas. Lay it on a concrete or sand base. Chipped paving stones are rectangular or square shapes having chipped edges. Therefore, such a foundation does not need additional reinforcement with borders. Sawn natural stones for paths got their name due to the peculiarities of mechanical processing - sawing and grinding. Decorative bases are made of cobblestone - small natural rounded stone, which allows you to create beautiful sidewalks and stone panels.
Application
Also, very strong, reliable foundations are used from natural material, which are used as access roads for cars. In this case, the material is laid on concrete. A concrete base is also used when paving pedestrian areas made of pebbles, beautifully looping around the suburban area. Among the green lawns, pedestrian areas made of limestone will look great, which are stacked step by step. Masters select a stone that is more suitable in style for the tracks. The price of such paved foundations is quite high, and ranges from 3,700 rubles per square meter when working on a turnkey basis. This process is very time-consuming and is a real engineering structure. The choice of coating and its cost depend on the purpose of the sidewalk, the conditions and modes of operation, and, of course, the style. However, stones for the track justify the
material costs of arranging their longevity, practicality and beauty.
