Paths at the dacha from screenings. Paths made of crushed stone, gravel and granite screenings
Paths made of gravel, crushed stone and granite screenings are clearly underestimated today. Bulk coverings without the use of cement combine low cost, durability and ease of installation. Western countries understand this. For example, in the center of Barcelona, next to the world famous Sagrada Familia Cathedral, you can walk along a gravel path.
Crushed stone paths are possible on a slopeSelection of bulk coating material
You can consider several types of small stones that are used to construct pedestrian walkways: crushed shale stone, granite screenings, river or sea pebbles and gravel. Each material has its own characteristics, so to answer the question: which crushed stone is better, you should familiarize yourself with them.
In any case, for garden paths, a fraction of 5-25 and no more than 5-40 is more convenient.
Reliable path made of granite screenings Most durable material– granite screening, which is also the most expensive. Granite pebbles have sharp corners, which prevents slipping. This coating is well suited for high-traffic paths.
Slate crushed stone path can be colored Crushed stone from slate has noticeably lower strength and is preferably used on garden paths. Crushed stone made from quartzite slate can withstand heavy loads and also has various colors. The latter allows the material to be used for decorative purposes.
A gravel path is very practical Gravel is the cheapest local material. It consists of various breeds and is quite often a mixture of small pebbles and coarse sand. You can walk along the gravel path without shoes, unlike crushed stone paths.
Ordinary pebbles can be surprisingly beautiful Paved paths made of small sea or river pebbles are another option for bulk covering for the site and garden. You can walk along these paths barefoot. Using material of different colors, you can get a good decorative effect. In certain regions, pebbles may be inexpensive option coverings.
Options for laying paths from small stones
A gravel path is best suited for a vegetable garden. Simple and The right way laying gravel does not involve excavation work or laying a foundation for the path. Such paths reliably serve as a bridge between the beds and can be built without a border or with a simple fence. The sequence of actions in this case is short and simple:
A country path made in this way serves long years. However, after some time, weeds may appear on it. In this case, the grass does not grow from below through the geotextile, but in the layer of soil that is carried onto the crushed stone by wind and rain.
This can be easily combated by destroying the sprouts immediately after they appear. Otherwise, the roots will penetrate the geofabric, and it will be more difficult to fight the grass.
The issue can be resolved radically if the accumulated soil in the crushed stone is removed every five years. To do this, it is raked with a frequent rake, and then the soil is swept away and removed.
The classic method of laying a gravel path with your own hands involves the following sequence of actions:
It is possible to build a fairly durable path made of crushed stone. In this case, instead of sand, you need to pour it to the bottom of the trench asphalt chips, which is formed when old asphalt is cut. The material is heated until softened blowtorch, and crushed stone of fraction 5-25 is poured onto it. Then the coating is compacted. You will have to work hard, but the path will be very reliable.
Of course, colored crushed stone produces vivid impression in every way. You can color it in different colors. As follows from the photo, there is a wide supply of colored material on the market.
The bright possibilities of painted crushed stone Most often, colored pebbles are used to decorate flower beds and flower beds. note that bright colors– very powerful tool landscape design and should be used with caution.
Colored runners attract attention Often, paths in the garden are made of painted material. As follows from the photo, very expressive paths are built in this way.
Paths made of nature-painted crushed stone are quite expressive Promote decorative properties making paths in the country is noticeably cheaper by using crushed stone with different natural colors.
Except high price, the painted material also has other disadvantages: it gets dirty and the paint wears off, that is, it needs to be washed and changed periodically.
For those who decided to color track and doesn’t want to overpay several times for already painted material, we’ll tell you how to do it yourself:
- First you need to purchase paint. If coloring is carried out using a concrete mixer, only 1 kg of dye will be required per 100 kg of crushed stone. You can use alkyd enamels, paints on water based or PVA glue with color. Best fit acrylic paint: not afraid of moisture, does not fade, adheres well to the surface of crushed stone.
- The crushed stone is washed using a sieve and water. If this is not done, the paint will darken and will not adhere well.
- Paint and crushed stone are loaded into a concrete mixer in a ratio of 3:7 and mixed for 30-60 minutes.
- Unload the colored material onto the mesh and leave until the dye completely drains.
- Lay out crushed stone on plastic film thin layer and dry.
We hope that the material presented has convinced you to arrange practical gravel paths on your site.
The last doubts can be resolved with the help of the attached video.
Bulk paths are more suitable for gardens, since small stones are not fixed with a frame lawn grate is movable and the track cannot withstand heavy mechanical loads.
But the stone scattering organically fits into the landscape landscape garden. The filler most often used is crushed stone, less often small pebbles or granite chips.
An elegant addition to the rocky path will be sandstone slabs, wooden beams, wood cuts (round timber), decorative tiles made of concrete (thickness not less than 6 cm).
When the site has height differences, the joining of different levels of the embankment path is done through a stepped arrangement wooden beam or stone blocks.
The simplest option for a bulk path for an area with light, moisture-permeable soil is compacted granite screening.
The area under the path is first leveled by removing 5 cm of soil. Since geotextiles cannot be used here as protection against weed growth, they can do so by simply clearing the soil of plant roots and then treating it with chemicals.
Next, the granite screenings are mixed with sand (in half), poured into the trench and thoroughly compacted. The edges of the track are slightly blurred, but for garden plot This is just a piquant detail that enhances the aesthetics of the landscape.
DO-IT-ONE MOUND PATH
When planning embankment paths, we recommend moving away from the stereotype that the path should be the same across its entire width. The gravel path is remarkable in that it resembles the bed of a dried-up stream, which means it has winding edges and smoothly narrows or widens along its entire length.
Installation work begins with a trench, the bottom of which is leveled, compacted and covered with geotextiles (this is mandatory, otherwise grass will grow, and the path will quickly collapse due to the “ingrowth” of the stone into the soil).
The walls are reinforced with a board or plastic lawn tape: fixed in vertical position pegs.
First, a layer of wet sand of medium or coarse fraction is poured onto the prepared base and compacted.
On top there is a layer of crushed stone of at least 10 cm. Moreover, a medium-sized stone is poured first, and a layer of smaller stone is poured on top. The trench is filled to the level of the sides.
Thus, it is easy to calculate the required minimum trench depth: 5 cm (sand) + 10 cm (stone) = 15 cm.
COMBINED TRACKS
If you lay slabs, timber, or round timber on top of a crushed stone path, it will turn out uneven and will be inconvenient to move.
Therefore, the paving elements are laid before the finishing filling with small crushed stone. As already mentioned, the thickness of large slabs should not be less than 6 cm, small ones - 4 cm (otherwise they will break during operation). That is, stone is laid on the first layer of crushed stone 4-5 cm thick, after which the gaps are filled with finer gravel.
As for wooden elements, then here optimal thickness 10 cm, but you can’t do without a crushed stone layer below (as drainage). The solution is to prepare a deeper trench. Wooden cuts and it is advisable to treat the timber with an antiseptic and mastic (lower part).
An old recipe from Slavic architects: dip each round timber in hot drying oil and dry (be extremely careful, it is highly flammable!).
The gaps between the cuts are filled with granite screenings.
PHOTO SELECTION ON THE TOPIC
The embankment path is combined with saw cuts cleared of bark. The gaps are filled with screenings, and the side parts are decorated with river pebbles.
A similar version of a combined embankment path, only instead of saw cuts, a thick board (at least 4 cm) was taken, treated with water-repellent impregnation.

Screenings are finer, in my opinion, crushed stone is an excellent option
Regarding the cost, look for delivery equipment in your area, as close to the site as possible. Basically, the price depends on the delivery distance. And I would also order mixed sand or a separate layer of sand on top
15.07.2011, 03:10
Here in our village it turns out that 10 cubic meters. crushed stones 20-40 cost 1300, and screening costs 10500... something to think about
1300 - does this include delivery? take it without thinking!

no, geotextiles are not necessary for clay
15.07.2011, 16:22
Gentlemen, please give me some advice! There is a plot, the soil is solid clay, when it rains you can’t walk through the plot, the water is standing. The builders advised to first fill it with screenings, then a layer of earth on top. I looked at the prices; screening costs almost 8 times more than crushed stone 20-40. What is the fundamental difference? Is it possible to do such a scheme with crushed stone? Maybe you can advise me on the best course of action, options, etc.))) Thanks in advance! :flower:
It is better to backfill with sand. Career is the cheapest.
Other options- broken brick, dolomite crushed stone, etc., sand on top. There is already soil, lawn, etc. on the sand.
Under filling it is MANDATORY to lay GT medium density (250-300).
But the problem of high groundwater level cannot be solved simply by backfilling. It is necessary to think over the drainage of the site - at least this is a system of ditches with a drain to the lowest point, and from there a pump somewhere lower (a reservoir, a large ditch, drainage well). Ditches can also be filled with crushed stone, wrapped in GT.
No, geotextiles are not necessary for clay
you fill in the sand, you can add a layer of sand on top, then soil and sow
but it still needs to be leveled across the area
Explain why GT is not necessary?
Frequent rains and inclement weather in St. Petersburg make it impossible to comfortably move around a garden (dacha, country, village) area without hard trails. The construction of paths from screenings, small crushed stone, and paving slabs becomes an urgent task with the beginning of the development of the site, the formation of its landscape appearance, and the division of the territory for vegetable gardening and gardening.
The installation of paths with screening is the simplest and fastest construction of garden overpasses. Often the owners of the plots themselves are engaged in filling the screening paths - some to save money, others because “they like this kind of work”, others - for self-affirmation in the concept of “I built a house.”
What kind of screenings should be used to fill the paths at the dacha?
If the screening is granite, then in St. Petersburg it is gray, pink and red. Some people think that it is necessary to buy screenings for paths Pink colour, since gray lacks brightness, and red requires careful monitoring for radioactivity. It remains pink.
Paths to the dacha can be made from both granite screenings and screenings of other types of stone mined in local quarries, as well as from fine crushed limestone, secondary crushed stone, quarry and rounded gravel. The main factors in choosing are the color of the material, the absence of radioactivity and the appropriate size.
Thus, some developers notice that too small screenings get stuck in the treads of shoes and are carried into the house, others propose to build a platform of paving slabs in front of the entrance to combat this phenomenon, others prefer small (10-20 mm) crushed stone. It is not easy to be a judge in such matters - everyone makes tracks to their own taste.
Screening track technology
When making a path from waste material at your dacha with your own hands, you should follow some rules that will increase its service life and prevent it from deforming and spreading.
- For tracks from screenings in the humid climate of St. Petersburg, it is necessary to prepare road pavement - dig a trench 20-25 cm deep, the bottom of which should be leveled and compacted with any accessible method- a vibrating platform, a piece of log with handles, a manual or mechanical roller.
- Spread a small layer (2-3 cm) of sand onto the compacted soil, level it and lay geotextiles - woven or non-woven synthetic material with good water permeability. It is needed to strengthen the path over time - with a strip of geotextile there will be less subsidence and bulging. Geotextiles are not suitable for supposed protection against weeds, since their seeds are introduced into the screenings from above, and do not germinate from below.
- The same small layer of sand is poured onto the geotextile, protecting it from damage by crushed stones, on top - 10-15 cm of crushed stone or gravel of fraction 10-20, it will perform two functions - solid foundation and drainage layer.
- Another layer of sand is applied to the crushed stone, on top of which granite screenings are poured. The thickness of the latter is selected experimentally so that the legs do not get stuck in it. To do this, the screenings are compacted and watered. Over time, it compacts and the path becomes hard.
- garden path from screenings, made with your own hands, must be equipped with borders. Without them, the screenings will spread around and pollute the soil. Curbs can be made of monolithic concrete, from paving stones placed on cement screed, from large bottles of the same size, from wooden planks, from a concrete curb curb stone. Last one correct installation(on concrete) will ensure the operation of the path for many years.
Filling paths with screenings - partly creative work. It is replete with a variety of solutions, technologies, materials used, colors of the top layer, investments of effort and means to achieve the main goal - the practical and harmonious arrangement of the local landscape.

Why are we so sure of this? Because we pay them for it!
I don't want to concrete paths do in the garden and yard. I heard that you can simply fill the yard with crushed stone, but I don’t know the technology. Just pour it in and the grass will sprout and silt up. How to do it right, who made such tracks, tell me.
So in order:
Can you imagine how it is possible to walk on gravel? This is unrealistic... and if you need to carry a car or children. She moves to the sides.
Secondly, have you thought about how to remove leaves from such a path? Well, I’m generally silent about sand.
If you don’t want concrete paths, lay tiles, it’s nice, with the right technology (cushion) the grass won’t grow, it looks beautiful and is easy to clean.
In order to make it convenient to walk on crushed stone paths, they need to be made of crushed stone of different fractions. First, crushed stone of a fraction of 5 - 10 mm is crumbled and compacted. Its layer thickness is 100 mm. Then they sprinkle the surface with a wedge and screening.
The process is quite simple. The main thing is to choose the right material. I would recommend granite (though not cheap). Dig a trench as wide as you want and 15 cm deep (we insert border tiles, plastic lawn tape or boards of the appropriate height along the edges to secure the shape). Fill it with ordinary crushed stone (fraction 3-5 cm) by 3-5 cm. From the top there is 3-5 cm of wet sand. Next, compact the granite chips (or roll them with a hand roller).
You should not just use crushed stone, this is a material for the substrate. To understand everything without explanation, you need to stand in your wife’s place, put on heels and walk on this surface, and in order not to fall, you need to take a couple of heavier bags to balance yourself. Mine does this and doesn't fall off.
I fully support you that crushed stone as a path in the garden, to put it mildly, is not the best the best option. In addition, screenings and sand will not remain on the sole and rush into the yard or house. And over time (literally 3 years) such a path will begin to be overgrown with grass. Why then waste time and money on material. It’s better to do it once, but reliably and efficiently. And in the garden in heels and with bags))))
The fact of the matter is that my wife rarely goes to the village in heels. On the contrary, the parents are elderly, and the concrete paths are covered with ice in winter. I don't want them to fall because of this. And crushed stone is good, water seeps through and does not freeze. You can walk without fear.
Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll do that.

Make normal drainage.
1.04.2010, 07:31
natawok, regarding the grass, it is called knotweed, but for now it will cover everything with a blanket, not just one a year will pass.
You can make a path out of brick, but depending on what kind of soil you have, if it’s sand, then a year or two will suffice. On black soil up to 5-6 years (this is from my own experience). We have the same story, the asphalt is 100 meters away, but knotweed grows on the sides of the road, so we walk along it in the mud.
Cheap and cheerful - 2 boards. You walk one at a time, and lay the second one forward. And so many cycles in a row. :laugh:
On this topic.
Budget? Square? Desired quality of coating?
If the path is 0.5 meters, you can negotiate with those who sell the eurofence for the purchase of substandard ones. There, a 2x0.5m slab costs about 20-25 UAH (not defective, about 40 UAH)
20m = 10 slabs = 200 -350 UAH + adding sand
You can also ask them about the substandard sidewalks.
But if you are serious and for a long time, then there are simply a million options.
Or maybe someone knows where to buy Soviet paving slabs 40/40 or 50/50?

For pedestrian path I did this myself, cut trees into rings (the thickness of the ring is 5-8 cm) and so that the circles in diameter are 10 cm or more (preferably different in diameter). I laid out a path in circles. In Poltava, on Dikanka - this has been lying around for 8 years, nothing!
Crushed stone will always help. Or you can do it cheaper - granotsev. Once it gets saturated with water, it becomes like concrete.
I agree about the crushed stone.
IMHO.
I agree about the crushed stone.
The downside of granotsev is that it “stretches behind your feet” a lot, that is, dust from it constantly blows into the house, and it makes your shoes dirty.
IMHO.
Yes, but it saves you 100% from dirt, and if there is any drink or something else in the yard, the screening dirt will remain there and will not reach the house.

normally made of brick.
In my yard there have been paths paved with red brick on black soil for about 40 years.
nuance: the brick must be dug flush with the surface of the earth (so that it does not creep or fall apart) and surrounded by a border made of the same brick (so that the path is not polluted by the adjacent earth).
the brick can be placed on a sand cushion or simply on black soil (sand is easier to level; there is no need to spend additional money on black soil)
something like this…
What kind of stone? Probably still royally burned?? I didn’t understand something about “flush”, and does the brick not crack after winters and rains??
Any other thoughts?

Crushed stone instead of concrete paths.
It is expensive?
such a path will have to be reinforced. Yes, and the cement needed there is 500. So buy better than a stove Eurofence - substandard - make a sand cushion and lay the slabs with the pattern down. 10 slabs*30 UAH= 300 UAH +100 delivery +50 installation. 450 UAH I recently made such a path myself.
you can fill it with old slate

If you want the coolest option - after building the road, there are 20 meters of geotextile left (bourgeois, synthetic, super durable fabric for road construction) - Density 200 g\m2. Pin it to the ground (you can use slate nails, you can use pins), on top you can use sandstone, tiles, crushed stone - you can do nothing at all. and walk in a clean place - shine.

Not everyone summer cottages in our country they have a good asphalt road. In fact, there are no normal roads even to some villages, let alone to the areas. This brings us to the question - how to make your own road as cheaply as possible?
Cheapest options
If you are the only one who is concerned about the road problem, and none of your dacha neighbors wants to keep you company, then it is logical to assume that you will look for the least expensive option. Even if it is not as high quality as desired.
The simplest approach is to level and compact the dirt road. To do this, it will be enough to hire a grader that will level out uneven roads and remove deep ruts. If the road is frequently used by oversized vehicles (dacha residents), then it will become compacted quite quickly.
The only problem with this approach is that the dirt road quickly loses its passability during rain, especially spruce we're talking about about soft soils, such as black soil. The latter will simply turn into an impassable mud swamp.
To combat this circumstance, there is a second approach - to fill the road with crushed stone or gravel. The method is more expensive, since you will need to buy a certain amount of material and ensure its delivery to the site. But you can drive on the gravel pad in any weather.
The disadvantage of this method is that the crushed stone will gradually sink into the ground.
Cover the dirt in the yard with crushed stones
In just 2-3 years, all the advantages of a crushed stone road will disappear, and the procedure will have to be repeated.
The best option
When there are at least a few summer residents interested in the appearance of a normal road, you can consider the construction of a full-fledged asphalt road, albeit using a simplified technology. At the same time, you can significantly save on materials by using asphalt chips instead of laying a new expensive road surface. The crumb is obtained by processing the coating removed during repairs, so its price is not particularly high.
Options for technological solutions to the problem may be different, but in general, laying asphalt chips looks like this:
- Determining the length and width of the future road.
- Removal of the top layer of soil with parallel leveling. In the case of a small country road on which agricultural machinery will not move, 300 mm will be sufficient.
- Creating a sand and gravel cushion. The sand layer should be approximately 150 mm. At the same time, it must be compacted well as it is backfilled and spilled with water to compact it. A layer of crushed stone 50-100 mm thick is laid on top. It is also advisable to compact crushed stone.
On at this stage Make sure that the road has a slight slope to allow water to drain away. If this is not provided, then water will accumulate on the road, which does not contribute to the durability of the coating. - Already pouring out on top of the rubble asphalt crumbs, which needs to be rolled. The best way, of course, is with a roller, but you can also use non-specialized heavy equipment, a truck, for example.
Thus, you will get a complete, durable and all-season paved road at a very reasonable price.
Everyone is familiar with dirt in their yards or around their homes. After the rains, it happens that you can’t walk without boots. There are various ways to fix this problem.
The first method is the fastest. You can simply place boards from your home to places where you regularly go. If this method does not suit you, then you can make a more neat wooden sidewalk.
To do this you will need several edged boards, put them together the way you like and put them on “beds” (beds are needed so that your sidewalk does not rot in the coming year). But if you want to ensure that there is never dirt throughout the yard, then use gravel. Dig small holes throughout the yard, about twenty-thirty centimeters. Lay down the gravel and you're done.
Water will seep through the gravel without any problems, and there will be no dirt to speak of.
But when installing gravel, after a few years another problem appears: grass begins to grow. If you don’t need it, then use a special fabric. This fabric is sold in construction stores. It does not allow the grass to grow, and through it the grass dies.
But gravel isn't the only way to cover your yard. Eat artificial stones, they are also used as insulation (they look like small pieces of pumice). They are lightweight and allow water to pass through well; by the way, they are inexpensive. This material will also let the grass through, use a special fabric.
But if not one of the methods suits you, then use brick laying. Dig a hole the width of a brick. Cover the entire yard with bricks, but after installing the bricks, another problem appears, the gaps between the bricks. There are several ways to do this: you can leave everything as is, you can use construction sand, or you can use cement. Now construction sand buying is not a problem. Place the sand in small piles around the area, take a broom and spread it all over the yard.
Question about backfilling the yard
The sand will clog all the cracks and it will look good, and just sweep the rest outside the yard. In the case of cement, everything is much more complicated; it takes a long time compared to sand. Dissolve the solution and carefully pour it, trying to get into the gap. Remove any residue immediately before the cement dries.
Using these methods, you will get rid of dirt in your yard forever.
