In general, the benefits are obvious, it remains to understand which materials can be useful.1 Rubber tile
This material appeared relatively recently, but already firmly settled in the field of gardening and landscape design.

Rubber has a spring structure, which means the fall on such a coating will be less traumatic. That is why this tile can be used in playgrounds.

2 Natural Lawn
Green natural lawn is one of the most organic solutions for giving. Yet, coming to nature, I want to break a little from the tile and asphalt, agree? At the same time, a plot with lawn grass looks aesthetic and neat. But this, at first glance, a light way to improve the plot, there are a number of nuances, which is important to know before landing.
So that the coating looks attractive, the land is plowing before planting and smoldering. The lawn needs to be selected with the maximum protection against pulling, so that the "Lysins" in the site are not formed. After the grass has grown, it needs to be regularly cut, otherwise, instead of a neat coating, you have a field in front of the house. Among other things, the lawn requires regular care, like any decorative landing: weeding from weeds, feeding, felling in places where grass has grown heavily.

You simply buy plastic grass in a roll and roll it on the surface. True, before this, the lawn still should be prepared - to dissolve and remove the turf, at a minimum. Artificial lawn does not fade in the sun, it can be washed and sweeping.
There are also disadvantages of such a coating. The first and most important minus - it heats up, that is, if you want to get on herbs on a hot afternoon, or at least go through her barefoot, you can burn on artificial coverage. The second minus - as part of the coating. Artificial lawn is made from tire residues and other synthetic materials that can give evaporation. True, serious studies have not been done on this topic.
4 Crusp
Crushed stone, pebbles or gravel is easy to get - you can buy from your hands or order in special organizations, and you will be brought to the house. Perhaps easier installation is difficult to come up with - you simply place places where such type of coating will be located, and pour it out there. Everything.
The stone mound can act as an independent coating, and may be in combination with tiles and other materials. Especially attractive stone mound looks like a pool or other reservoir, and in this way you can make a parking space for the car. Of the minuses it is worth noting a rather complicated care (stone mound is not suitable) and the need to regularly update the layer, as it has a battleship property, as well as remove weeds and grass that will germinate through stones.
5 chips
With it, you can arrange multicolored lawns and decorating flower beds. This is an easy-to-use material, it is environmentally friendly and safe, and it is very pleasant to walk barefoot.
However, chips have a number of serious flaws. She fits in the sun. On average, the colored pinch loses its shade for one or two summer. It is afraid of wind and moisture - because it is natural material, it is subject to rotting, besides, the chips are very lungs, and the wind can hand them out in the garden. Mattles from chips are suitable for local garden design, it cannot be used in places where there is an open fire.
