Step-by-step instructions for making a concrete path at the dacha
If you do it thoroughly so that the path is really strong and does not crack, then it is worth doing so.

Clean the place. Remove the top layer (turf) with a shovel (depth of turf removal is about 14 cm). If you don’t want there to be puddles on the concrete surface, then you need to make a slight slope. For example, for every meter the slope is 2 mm.

Make formwork. It can be lubricated with detergent so that it can be easily removed after work.
Then geotextiles are laid. But I think I can do without it. Pour sand with crushed stone fraction from 5 to 20 mm.

Sprinkle well with water and compact. Then spread a plastic garden net. You can buy the cheapest one.

Then lay reinforcement with a diameter of 6 mm. You can do it without reinforcement, but add fiberglass to the solution. I also heard from professionals that it’s good to add a plasticizer to reduce the amount of water in the solution and then the concrete becomes especially strong. But I think I can do without it so as not to spend extra money.

Proportions
Fill the rough layer with cement with the addition of crushed stone. For a bucket of cement (grade 400, 500) there are 2 buckets of sand and 3 buckets of crushed stone. After pouring the rough layer comes the finishing layer (mortar without crushed stone). The thickness of the entire track is about 7-10 cm.

There is such a nuance - the path must be laid in one day. First the rough layer, then immediately the finishing layer (we lay it out carefully with a shovel) so that they are one whole. If you start pouring in the morning, then by the end of the day or even after 4 hours you can cut out the top of the path to look like a stone.
