Decorative path for the villa. We make a concrete path with our own hands
You do not know how easy it is to decorate your villalawn or garden? A beautiful and unusual path in your dacha will not only be a beautiful decorative accent, but will harmoniously combine all parts of your country landscape. Moreover, it is not difficult at all, and does not require a lot of money. After all, a bundle of cement is likely to be found somewhere in the garage or utility room. 
We roll up our sleeves and proceed! Before starting work, stock up with cement mortar, a piece of cardboard pipe, large textured leaves of burdock or sunflower, a spatula, and of course a fantasy. To make a cement slurry for our wonderful path, mix 1.5 parts of cement with one part of sand in a small basin or old tub . 
Add the water to the consistency of thick sour cream andwe constantly mix. Then we take the prepared sheet of burdock, we put it on a flat place. This will be our decorative element. It is not necessary to take a burdock, it's just that he has the biggest and beautiful thick veins - and this is the main requirement. 
Around the sheet we put a cardboard tube, orplastic. It does not matter what you use, the main thing is that the solution does not spread and keep the shape. Before pouring the control mix we mix the solution, and pour it into the prepared form from the pipe and sheet. Using a spatula we flatten the surface. To prevent the pipe from shifting during pouring, strengthen it from the sides or hold it by your feet. 
We are waiting for the solution to grind a little. At this time, you can lay out a picture of pebbles, or shells. After about an hour, you need to carefully remove the pipe, and make a second pouring of the tiles. And thus make the right amount of tiles for your path. After this, spread the tiles on a flat dry surface, and wait a couple of days in the sun until the parts of our path dry up completely. 
Begin to lay the track on a preliminaryaligned surface. If the surface is uneven, then an option of bending or even breaking the tile is possible. By the way, you can, when pouring, put inside the tiles pieces of brick, reinforcement or wire - this will increase the life of your track. On the decor of the tracks. You can decorate the garden path not only with a burdock leaf, but with fingerprints of the hands and feet or simply with drawings. And also add on top tiles different stones, mosaic made of broken tiles or beads. Do not be afraid to experiment with your own hands, use additional decor elements, this will make your site not boring, but very bright and attractive!
