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.

    The fact that the trail exists there in the first place means that there’s enough people walking on it that the grass dies and doesn’t grow bag. I’ve started a trail from scratch and I doubt there’s more than a handful of people walking there every week but the trail just keeps getting more carved in.

      This one’s man made though, it’s around a nature preserve and it’s runs between dozens of small communities in my area. This area is well known for outdoors, trails, creeks, small lakes, all in a very dense residential area.
