The arrangement of the local area consists of several stages, one of which is the formation of a pedestrian zone. To fulfill this work, take care carefully, especially at the design stage. The correct organization in this case is the key to the attractive design of the site. But it is impossible not to note the importance of convenience during walks, so all corners of the territory must be available for viewing from the track.

Advantages of using a brick for a garden track

Brick is not only the most popular material for building buildings, but also it is widely used for paving the pedestrian zone. Such regularity is easily explained by a number of advantages in the preference of this material:

• Strength that allows you to preserve the integrity of the material with its proper laying for a long time, even with constant pressure loads.
• Attractiveness is not less important. It is a brick, like no other material, makes it possible to easily emphasize the integrity of the entire building ensemble in combination with the landscape. In addition, a wide species series, which differs not only by the type of material used in the production, but also a form and shade of piece elements. Such a property contributes to the selection of the most suitable option.
  
  

  Important! View photos of the garden tracks from a brick of various design to finally be convinced of their actual attractiveness and correctness of your choice.

• No need for a constant restoration. If all installation work is made in compliance with the rules, the track update will be required only in the event of a change in the design of the landscape at which the existing form will not match the new style. The stability of color and form eliminates such a need for another reason.
• Easy pavement technology. This criterion significantly affects the entire building process. In this regard, we note the fact that when using bricks of any type, only a few simple tools will be required. The time spent on the complete completion of the pavement process is also beneficially distinguished by a brick when compared with other options available for this purpose.
• Easy coating care. The brick track will not require any additional care effort during operation. It is enough just to regularly remove the garbage, which came from the surrounding sites, in any convenient way. There are no restrictions in this regard.

How to make a brick path?

Like any other process, the paving the garden track of the brick includes several stages:

1. Designing the location and design of the pedestrian zone.
2. Choosing a suitable material.
3. Preparation of instruments and materials to perform the entire amount of work.
4. Preparation of the soil surface.
5. Laying brick.

What to take into account when designing?

There are several recommendations that will definitely consider when planning the entire site and size of the track:

1. Remove the space in such a way as to secure easy access to any point of the green zone, but the size of the tracks and their number should not occupy too much territory, reducing the opportunity to arrange it with other landscape forms.
2. Try to think about the path trajectory so that it is not located near large trees - their roots over time can disrupt the integrity of the coating of the brick and the evenness of the surface of the pedestrian zone.
3. Planning the width of no less than 90 cm so that in the future it is easy to move on it.
4. Think up in advance the design of the styling in such a way that it effectively emphasizes the attractiveness of the total area.
   

   Important! Preview photos of finished brick tracks to choose the most interesting ideas for your site. This approach will help to understand the resulting result in advance and will exclude possible dissatisfaction with the work performed.

What materials and tools to prepare for making a brick track?

When preparing inventory and additional consumables, focus on the following list:

1. Sand.
2. Gravel, crushed stone or any similar material.
3. Wooden boards whose width is 3-5 cm more brick height.
4. Rubber hammer.
5. Shovel.
6. Scoop.
7. Master OK.
8. Vibrotrambovka.
9. Broom or veter with a pile.
10. Level.
11. Roulette.
12. Metal or wooden bars.
13. Twine.
    

    Important! Please note that such a simple toolkit, the acquisition of which will not cause excessive cash costs, is enough to fulfill all the work on the arrangement of the garden track of the brick.

What type of brick choose to arrange a track?

For registration of a brick path with your own hands, select one of the following types of this material:

• ceramic masonry;
• clinker;
• paving brick;
• laming.
  

  Important! Please note that the use and waste of construction from this material is permissible for the design of the pedestrian zone. For example, an interesting solution will be the paths from the broken brick, if their appearance will be harmoniously combined with the rest of the landscaped forms and architecture of the house.

What kind of brick size to choose?

When choosing a brick size, focus on the following criteria:

• track pattern design;
• length and width parameters.

Determine the most suitable type for this principle:

1. Complete the number of piece elements that without a residue or gaps can be accommodated with the width of the track when laying on a given project.
2. Do a similar calculation for the length of the sidewalk.
3. Determine the optimal version of the brick parameters to prevent significant recalculation during the pavement and reduce the number of necessary debris elements to a minimum.
   

   Important! We take a very carefully to this calculation, since on how correctly you do it, the attractiveness of the decorated coverage completely depends.

How to prepare soil for a crucible track?

Preparatory work make up most of the total volume.

Important! Consider than qualitatively you prepare the soil, the more convenient and faster will be able to lay the brick itself.

Sequencing:

1. Make the markup of the site under the pedestrian zone.
   

   Important! Use for this work any comfortable material - wooden or metal bars, twine, construction cord or lingerie.

2. Drink pegs through small equal gaps is an excellent landmark when laying out the pattern.
3. Clearly on the outlined lines dig a trench.
4. Cross the bottom.
5. Thoroughly endure the land inside the pit.
6. Processing with antiseptic all the boards to strengthen the shape of the track.
7. Purchase a smooth layer prepared to 7 cm.
8. Tightly confuse with a special tool.
9. Fall off the sand.
10. Moch it.
11. Run the sandy layer.
12. Thoroughly confuse.
13. Check the level of surface line level.
14. On the perimeter of the entire trench, hide a recess by 3-5 cm.
    

    Important! Use a trowel or a small scoop to perform this work.

15. Install the processed boards on the edge in the edge to ensure the integrity of the lane form when executing subsequent work.

How to lay a brick?

This main stage of decorating the territory of the pedestrian zone is not particularly difficult, but some rules still exist. Check out closely with them and follow exactly to arrange an attractive coating quickly.

Progress:

1. Along the boards, remove part of the sand pillow.
2. Set into the resulting deepening around the perimeter of a curb stone.
   

   Important! All items should fit tightly to each other, forming a continuous line.

3. Single rows are placed on the sandy layer of bricks, withstanding the planned pattern exactly.
   

   Important! In some cases, it is recommended to add over the sand layer another one from dry cement or wet solution. If you do not plan to use a garden track for constant transportation on it heavy loads, such an addition is only an unnecessary waste of funds.

4. Each element when installing slightly pressing into the sandy mass and pick up the rubber hammer.
5. Less each subsequent brick over the previous one.
6. Through certain small gaps, check the evenness of the surface line in the level to avoid distortion.
7. When detecting inaccuracies - adjust with rubber hammer or trim, lifting separate coating fragments or deepening them.
   

   Important! All bricks put tightly to each other, striving for monolith.

8. Put the entire formed surface of the brick path sand.
9. Thorough it thoroughly so that all the gaps and gaps are filled with this material.
10. Use for the performance of this work a dummy mop or broom.
11. Remove the residues of the sand from the coating after they were convinced of the care of all the seams.
    

    Important! Review the video in which an example of consistent laying of a non-standard color brick-shaped track is clearly shown.

Conclusion
