Roads

• The different locations of landscape over an area require proper roads.
  


• In a small garden, foot path will serve the purpose.
  


• Roads are constructed in larger gardens like dam site gardens, public gardens and botanical gardens.
  


• Such roads should be straight in formal gardens and with curvatures in informal gardens.
  


• The road gradient should be 1 to 30 for effective traction. Width may be 3.3-5 m.
  


• Drainage gutters should be provided on both sides. The road may be made with single metal with black top.
