• the lawn grid provides the necessary rigidity of the surface of the path for movement, while preserving the grass cover, which has a positive effect on the aesthetic qualities of the site;
• cellular modules connected by locks form a durable structure, which prevents them from diverging from each other and, accordingly, deformation of the track;
• the honeycomb structure of the lattice prevents soil erosion, which ensures normal life and growth of grass, and also prevents the spread of dirt and sand throughout the summer cottage;

3. Lay geotextiles.
4. Pour in a sand-gravel mixture (3-5 cm), compact it, and level the surface.
