Surely there aren’t enough people walking them constantly to mash the grass to death, is there some kind of membrane placed under the dirt to stop grass growth?
Here is a pic of worn path from walking on, rough edges, clearly not intentional.
Will post pic after walking the dog of the trail that I’m speccifically curious about.
No, it’s just foot traffic everywhere I’ve hiked
edit- I guess maybe you’re talking about those nature hikes with the box-landscape-stairs. Those are filled in with rock and clay so the grass doesn’t have any nutrients, then maintained with the fine granite gravel, which I think even has a chemical effect on the soil, suppressing plants
