How to decorate and highlight garden paths in an original way?

With the onset of the spring-summer season, summer residents restore order in the infield. They plant flowers and trees, harvest last year's weeds, and refine the territory. Along with this, the question arises of how to decorate and highlight garden paths in an original way. It is important that in the dark it was clear where to go. Landscape designers suggest the use of fluorescent paints and phosphors. You can use them yourself, without the help of strangers.

Design options

Often, on large land plots, it is not possible to install enough lamps so that at night you can move around without fear. Landscape designers figured out how to solve this problem without high financial costs.

Several design options for garden paths:

• put small pebbles around the flower bed;
• arrange stones of the selected size along the track;
• frame the perimeter of the pool or garden pond;
• apply luminescent paint on tree trunks or branches of bushes;
• paint small stones and sprinkle a path with them, which will create an imitation of the starry sky;
• make a geometric pattern on street planters and set them in the direction of travel;
• fully or partially paint shops.

The advantage of the phosphor and luminescent paint is that after drying it leaves no residue on clothing and body. The product is safe and does not harm humans and animals. You can buy it in a construction or specialized online store, or do it yourself.

Glow coating technique

You can work with phosphor or fluorescent paints with an ordinary paint brush, spray gun, as well as in bulk. When using the material, the following recommendations should be adhered to:

• the surface of the coating should be clean and dry;
• the brush is best used for large objects;
• the bulk method is suitable for covering a large volume of small stones in a short time;
• when using a spray, the dye is used more economically.

After immersion of small stones in the phosphor, they mix well. If the coating is defective, a little is added. To work with a spray, although economically, but you need to constantly mix pebbles. After all the elements have been painted, they are left to dry. It is important to ensure that they are not exposed to direct sunlight.

Iridescent outlines of benches and luminous street flowerpots are an original way to decorate a house adjoining territory.Using fluorescent or phosphor is very simple.
