Cement country leaves paths

Country the site is the place where we not only work, but also relax. Rest as well as possible contribute to the nature and aesthetic design of the site. Why not even fit such a trifle as a garden path into the natural beauty?

Materials and tools:
1. A wide and large leaf of rhubarb, burdock
2. Fine brown gravel
3. Coarse gravel sand
4. Bag of cement
5. Water
6. Small garden shovel
7. Gloves
8. Cloth bag or piece thereof
9. Wand or pencil
10. Tank for mixing cement.

Operating procedure:
A leaf of burdock or rhubarb should be applied to the ground and carefully dig a hole along the contour. This stage does not take much time. Gloves are recommended in advance.

A small amount of gravel is poured into the hole. Then sand is sprinkled on top. Thus, the foundation is formed for a homemade leaf. Due to the fact that gravel is different in color from the ground, in the process of work it will be easy to distinguish the outlines of the future crafts.

Now you can take on the manufacture of the track element directly. To do this, cement is poured into a container such as a cart, basin or bucket. The main requirement for capacity is large capacity. Water is poured into the cement, everything is mixed.

The moment of mixing the solution should be highlighted separately. It should turn out to be of a certain consistency - in no case jelly-like and not liquid, otherwise the path will not keep its shape, spreading out in all directions. The best condition is like a dough. The process of kneading should resemble the modeling of cakes.

Once the cement has reached the required state, you can begin to form a path from it. To do this, take the amount that is necessary depending on the size of the leaf, and put it on a sand-gravel base. Do not be afraid to crush the material with strength - you need a dense texture. Excessive material savings can adversely affect the final appearance. homemade.

Until the cement has frozen, it is necessary to form veins.To make them natural, you should take a real leaf and press it denser to the cement counterpart. The vein pattern should print at least a little. However, to overdo it is also undesirable, otherwise a non-frozen home-made leaf from excessive pressure may fall apart. As soon as the print is received, the real sheet is removed, and a pencil or stick draws a sharper line on the hardening solution.

The final touch remained in the formation of the craft - a piece of the fabric bag is slightly wetted with ordinary water, squeezed and applied to the cement sheet. It must be left in this state for a couple of days for the final solidification and achievement of stone hardness.

After solidification, the leaf can be removed from the pit and placed where you want. A similar procedure is carried out for the remaining crafts.

In a similar simple way, you can create a garden path that will delight with its appearance. Quite unusual, it organically fits into the atmosphere of any site.

It's great that you try, the most important thing is to continue to create and experiment, even despite some criticism. Do-it-yourself do-it-yourself is always appreciated by more than guests bought in the store. For my part, I would like to add something else. For the production of landscaping products, paths, etc. I usually use cement Master PRO, which, according to the manufacturer, is just the best suited, including for this type of work. Well, in order not to vibrate the concrete, it is recommended to add a little plasticizer (superplasticizer) to the mixture. Successes.

You probably have no winter? Because such a path will not survive the first winter. Cement with water? Is that all? .... You know, I made the track from a solution of 1: 2.5: 4 (cement M500D0: washed gravel: gravel of a fraction of 5-10 mm. At the same time, I added a plasticizer. After several winters, the track began to crack. Because there is an insufficiently compacted solution micropores into which water enters, and then a few freeze-freeze cycles, and the effect is clear.After that, I filled the home-made forms with the same solution and shook each for three minutes on a vibrating table, adding concrete as the moisture was forced out. After drying in the shade within 28 days with daily watering, howled came to life on the site - they are already the sixth year .... So, the only way!
And such a path after the very first winter will need to be collected with a rake and carried out with a shovel))))).
I have such paths in my country house - they lead to the farthest corners from the central paths. During the construction process, I rammed a pillow of rubble and sand. Fine crushed stone was also added to the solution. The first layer was poured with a thickness of 5 cm, then laid thin twigs - reinforced the tile, then added another layer of 5 cm. It turned out pretty well, now I'm waiting for this beauty to survive the winter.
Interestingly thought up with this sheet. If the veins are drawn from memory, then it will definitely turn out unnaturally and not so original. And these leaves next to fresh flowers look very pretty. I think these can be built on a sloping plot in the form of small steps.
Plus sign from the originality of the idea. The minus is in manual work, in the sculptural molding of leaves, when it is more rational to cast, cutting out the shape of the template from at least 5-centimeter foam. Having adapted the scrap as a formwork, prepare tiles of 10 cm thickness. It is not bad to add dye and plasticizer to concrete.
An unusual, original and stylish track as a result turned out, but unfortunately not practical. Myself on the site would not take the risk and lay the track in a frequently traveled place, in operation it would not be convenient. And as a decorative element, it is quite appropriate, you can decorate a small area with the help of leaves, it will turn out stylishly and with a twist.
An interesting and original idea. But I think it would be better to do it not in the form of leaves, but in the form of a circle. In the form of a circle, it turns out more practical. And the shape of the sheet is not suitable for every design of a garden or summer house. But if you already make such tracks in this form, then it is advisable to paint them green. As for me they will look better then.
The idea is good, but it’s not very clear to me why gravel is under the sand. After all, after drying, the leaf will simply lie on top of this gravel and sand. Over time, they simply enter the earth after rains. as for me, there is enough sand there. It would be good to lay such a path to water or a small pond. Such paths are a little dangerous for a summer residence, there is a high probability of falling over and falling over, and there may be a sharp instrument in your hands.
Great invented, and most importantly unusual. This path is perfect for the front garden, and the photos are excellent to get - you stand on such a large sheet, and on both sides everything turns green and the flowers bloom different. We must ask my husband to do something similar at his dacha.
The track turned out very beautiful. I saw and wanted to decorate my cottage with the same beauty. I always wanted something unusual, not shop paving slabs. Thanks to the author for the original idea. Now an idea has arisen and paint these leaves. It will turn out more colorful. I think that such a path will be convenient enough for walking along it.
I would also put the leaves closer to each other. If there are children or old people in the country, they will definitely be uncomfortable to move along such a path. Although it is beautiful, you can not argue. By the way, for greater beauty, the leaves can be painted in different colors, or at least in a single - yellow. As if autumn had come. I wonder how long the track will be.
The track turned out beautiful, though a little crooked. It will be difficult to move a wheelbarrow (how can one move without a cottage?). Yes, and you can stumble yourself.
