Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for covering ground, which can be used anywhere; keep the ground, e.g. in a park, covered in all seasons; cover the ground by a simple procedure; need no maintenance/management works; keep the covered ground water-permeable; cause no damage of environment, unlike a method that uses, e.g. concrete; cause no damage of the beauty of the park or the like to which this method is applied; and effectively utilize thinned-out lumbers. SOLUTION: This method for covering ground comprises steps of (1) cutting thinned-out lumber trunks from which branches and the like have been removed, (2) treating the cut lumber trunks with a preservative, e.g. wood vinegar, to obtain covering materials 5, and (3) placing the covering materials 5 on the ground and putting a coagulating agent 7 between the covering materials 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for covering a ground, and more particularly to a method for covering a ground which can use thinned wood.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In parks and the like, lawns and the like are planted on the ground in order to prevent evaporation of soil moisture and to prevent weeds from growing.

[0003]

However, lawns cannot be used where humans frequently pass, and there are disadvantages that some grass types die in winter. In addition, lawn has a problem that it takes time to plant and maintain the lawn.

On the other hand, in concrete and asphalt,
Not only does the park's aesthetics deteriorate, but it also has the problem of killing creatures living on the ground and in the soil due to lack of water permeability. Furthermore, concrete and asphalt deteriorate,
When re-paving, there is also a problem that treatment of removed concrete or the like leads to environmental destruction. By the way, when cedars and the like are cultivated, thinning is performed, and there is a problem in processing thinned wood generated thereby.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, can be used in any place, can maintain the covering state of the ground such as a park throughout the season,
The coating work is not troublesome, no maintenance is required, it has water permeability, and its treatment does not lead to environmental destruction like concrete, and it does not impair the beauty of parks, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of covering the ground, which can effectively use thinned wood.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, a method of covering the ground according to the present invention comprises a step of cutting a trunk from which branches of thinned wood and the like have been removed, and applying a preservative treatment to the cut trunk. And a step of arranging the coating material on the ground and connecting the coating materials to each other.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, the branches 3 of the thinned cedar material 1 are removed, and the covering material 5 having a predetermined thickness is obtained by traversing the branches.

Next, the coating material 5 is subjected to a preservative treatment. The preservative treatment is performed by baking the surface of the coating material 5 using a burner, applying a wood vinegar solution, or impregnating a preservative. Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the preservative-treated coating materials 5 are arranged in a desired state. Then, a solidifying material is put in a gap between the coating materials 5 and fixed so that the coating material 5 does not shift. As the coagulant 7, cement or water glass is used.

As described above, since the coating materials 5 are arranged and only the coagulant 7 is put in the gaps, no labor and maintenance are required as in the case of turf planting, so that the cost can be reduced. . In addition, the ground covering state can be kept constant throughout the four seasons.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which the covering material 5 is arranged on a sidewalk of a park and used for an interlocking block, and an example in which the covering material 5 is arranged at the root of a tree 8. Since the covering material 5 is wood, the covering material 5 has water permeability, does not adversely affect organisms inhabiting the ground surface and soil, and can appropriately maintain the natural environment of the park. In the park, it is necessary to consider the beauty of nature. However, since the covering material 5 is made of wood, it is well adapted to the landscape of the park and does not spoil the beauty of the park.

[0011] Further, after a long period of time, the coating material 5 rots and is eventually decomposed by microorganisms in the soil, so that the treatment does not lead to environmental destruction unlike concrete and asphalt. Therefore, the work of removing the coating material 5 is not required, and the cost can be reduced. Further, thinned wood that has been conventionally incinerated can be effectively used.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which a covering material 5 is arranged around a fountain 9 in a park. Also in this case, it is possible to prevent the beauty of the park from being spoiled.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and there is a change in design without departing from the gist of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, a disk-shaped material is used as the coating material. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a square or another shape. In addition to traversing the thinning material 1, the coating material may be obtained by longitudinal cutting. In addition to using cement or water glass as a coagulant, it is also possible to use clay or the like. In addition, sand, shells, wood chips,
Harmless industrial waste may be mixed. In addition, the covering materials may be connected to each other by metal fittings, ropes, or the like.

The ground covering method of the present invention can also be applied to slopes such as mountains, mountain roads, and embankments (banks) of rivers to prevent sediment runoff. In addition, the ground covering method of the present invention may be applied to gardens, biotopes, and the like. In addition, the thinned wood is not limited to cedar but may be other trees.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, the present invention can be used in any place, the covering condition of the ground such as a park can be maintained throughout the seasons, and the covering work can be performed without any trouble. There is no need for maintenance and unlike the case of using grass,
It is possible to cover the ground at low cost. Moreover, in the ground covering method of the present invention, since the covering surface has water permeability, it does not adversely affect living things on the ground surface or soil.

Furthermore, unlike concrete and asphalt, its treatment does not lead to environmental destruction, and after a long period of time it rots and is decomposed by microorganisms.
There is no need to remove it, and the cost can be reduced because the removal work becomes unnecessary. Moreover, since the covering material is wood, the thinned wood can be used more effectively without impairing the beauty of a park or the like.
