Does my garden path need a substructure?
Not every garden path needs a substructure, but you should always think about it. A base layer not only provides stability, it also prevents the growth of weeds on the way. While a paved path is almost always provided with a substructure, this is not absolutely necessary with a gravel path or a path made of bark mulch.
If a road is heavily used then a solid substructure is often indispensable. Just think about a garage driveway that gets deeper and deeper in the course of time. With a thicker base course, the life of this path would have been longer. Take into account the future use of your path already during the planning.
Can I do my own way?
With a little skill and a good guide, you can make your own garden path, even if you have opted for the more elaborate paving. The necessary material and useful tools can be found in a well-equipped gardening and / or hardware store.
If you still need ideas or suggestions, you will also find them in garden centers and garden centers, but also at trade fairs and specialist exhibitions. You can also get information on the internet or in one of the numerous garden magazines. Tips and tricks for the design and execution of the necessary work can also be found there.
