Walkway plans




Category: Garden Plans | Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 4:35 pm

Well, have I got some plans for moms yard! She's not much for gardening (though she likes plants, especially roses) so she said I can do whatever i want in the yard.
Im going to put in a walkway between the patio and mini barn cause it gets pretty muddy, and grass wont grow because it gets trampled by the dogs.
I was thinking a mixed path. Stepping stones with gravel around and between the stones. Guess I better get my muscles ready for all that digging! 2 inches or so of road-grade gravel, then 2 inches of paver sand, then maybe some landscape fabric, then the step stones and gravel. It would be about 2 feet wide, I dont recall how long it would have to be right now. I dont want it too complicated, because over the years I want to add more paths through the yard, and plants, with a special spot just for the dogs to do their thing.
I also want to put a similar path in front, between the driveway and my flower bed, because the grass there got pretty much worn away, and its muddy too.

Think Ill go pot up some hyacinth bulbs now... ;)

I just cant decide what kind of step stones I want. The odd shaped kind for looks, or plain square for price? I also have plain square stones in the front in the middle of my flower bed for people to walk through, so there is that to think about...
