How to fix your garden path - tips and tricks
A garden path should not only be decorative but above all safe to walk on. This can be achieved with the help of a good attachment and a suitable covering. Both are particularly important in the so-called main routes, which are often used.
Which topping should I take?
Above all, your own preferences and your wallet decide on the covering used. If you want to create your low-priced, then expensive materials such as natural stones are hardly in your budget. But let's just play her fantasy or look in a garden magazine, there you will find many ideas and suggestions for ways of every price range.
Narrow, curved paths can be easily and inexpensively created with gravel or bark mulch. On the other hand, wider straight paths are often laid with paving stones or with concrete paving slabs. Wood paths are slightly slippery when wet, so they are particularly suitable for dry corners in the garden.

How do I put on a base course?
A paved garden path needs a good substructure to be long and well usable. A wooden path should not be misplaced. Only a gravel path or a path from Rindenmulch does not necessarily need a substructure, but it can definitely benefit from this.
A solid base layer consists of a so-called antifreeze layer of about 20 cm thickness and a leveling layer. In order to create these, you must first excavate the ground for your way. The antifreeze layer consists of relatively coarse material, above it is applied grit or sand as a leveling layer.
If the planned route serves as a garage driveway, for example, then a thicker base course is required than with a pure sidewalk. That's because of the heavy weight of the car. A thin base layer would give way more and more over time.
Tips
How to fix your garden path depends mainly on your wishes, the use and your wallet, the possibilities are almost unlimited.
