Requirements for garden surfaces.
Roads are an important element of every area -green. The role and value of a given object depends to a large extent on their layout and quality of the surface.
The road surface is called its surface layer exposed to the direct impact of users (passers -by or vehicles). Each road has the right one, The structure adapted to its role. The choice of construction and road surface depends on many factors. The most important of them are: Purpose and way of using the road, and also economic and art considerations, Availability of materials, substrate quality, Climate conditions, etc..
Garden surfaces should meet certain requirements, which determine their utility value. The main requirement is the ability to use throughout the year, Regardless of the prevailing weather conditions. Normal, that is, consistent with the purpose, The use of each surface should not cause damage and deformation, preventing movement or lowering its aesthetic value.
A condition for convenient and safe movement on the surface of both people, and vehicles, there is its smoothness. On the other hand, it should not be slippery and therefore, It should not be built of hard and very smoothly ground stones. The slippery of such surfaces occurs especially due to snowfall, rain, It can also be caused by sand grains.
The surface plane should be as horizontal as possible as possible, So it should not have excessive slopes, bulges and concave. Keeping the surface in a horizontal plane is often difficult or impossible due to the need to give the required decreases to drain rainwater. Often, road surfaces also have significant slopes resulting from the need to adapt them to the formation of a local area.
The surfaces should not be a source of -cleaning, and above all dust formation. Therefore, it should not be used for their construction excessively crushed and unrelated materials, np: Iłów or fine sand and other materials easily abrasion, like soft sedimentary stones, ordinary brick, concrete slabs with an insufficient amount of cement binder, etc.. Material, from which the surfaces are made, it should be so coherent, so that his molecules could not be easily flushed and floated by rainwater. This is of particular importance in relation to roads built in areas with significant natural drops.
In some places, in addition to the required smoothness, the surfaces should show adequate flexibility (softness), which is to protect users in the event of a fall before injury or injuries. This is particularly important in children's games and games.
Garden surfaces should be aesthetic and characterized by decorative values harmoniously related to the nature of the object, in which they occur, or with its elements.
