Care and construction of paths

The care and construction of paths in parks and gardens are essential aspects for ensuring the accessibility, functionality and aesthetics of these spaces. Well-designed and maintained walkways contribute to a pleasant visitor experience and protect vegetation by directing foot traffic.

Planning and Design

Needs Assessment: Determining the purpose of walkways (eg pedestrian access, maintenance access, rest areas) and estimating traffic volume.
Alley Route: Designing the route to be functional and aesthetic, blending harmoniously into the landscape. Curved paths are often preferred for a natural look.
Aisle width: Depending on the type of use, pedestrian walkways are usually 1.2-2 meters wide, and those for maintenance vehicles may be wider.
Construction Materials

Pavers and Gravel: Concrete, natural stone or brick pavers are durable and aesthetically pleasing. Gravel is a more economical alternative, offering a rustic look.
Asphalt: Often used in large parks for main walkways due to its durability and ease of maintenance.
Green materials: Options like permeable pavers that allow water to seep in and reduce the risk of erosion.
Construction Process

Land preparation: Cleaning and leveling the soil, removing vegetation and roots.
Base Layer: Adding a base layer of compacted gravel for stability and drainage.
Curb installation: Installation of curbs to delineate the driveway and prevent the dispersion of surface material.
Surface layer: Placing the surface material (pavers, gravel, asphalt) and compacting it to ensure a smooth and stable surface.
