Preparation of concrete (mortar): One should use concrete of a mark 400, river sand without content of clay and crushed rock in a fraction of 5-10, 5-20. Sand, concrete and crushed rock are being mixed in proportion 1:3:3. While preparing a mortar (concrete) it is better to use additives (plasticizer) to strengthen it. One can add a dye for concrete. Shaping of garden paths: The upper sand layer is being watered thoroughly. The form is being lubricated with a special substance and placed to the site of filling. The path maker mold is being filled with mortar concrete with the help of a trowel. The slab surface and its ages are being evened, superfluous mortar is being removed. Adding of plasticizer allows the surface to be absolutely smooth. In 20-40 minutes the form is being taken off.
