Today I have been digging out a path in my garden. I wanted to have a path to make access to the garage easier so I dug out the dirt and laid a gravel path with guides. It didn’t take as long as I thought it would and putting the gravel in was easy.
In order to create the path I had to use some sturdy guides for the edges so the grass wouldn’t just creep back over it. These were the hard plastic variety that you knock into the soil level with the top of the dirt. They also mean that the path gets less water off the soil. Then I laid a membrane to stop weeds growing back through and put the gravel on top of that.
On the bottom I put larger stones to keep the cost down for the smaller Cotswold gravel on top. That top gravel was 5-10mm in size and you can end up using a lot of that if you are not careful and use the larger stones beneath.
I am quite pleased with it really. It makes my life easier to be honest and that’s why I did it. I also hope that it blends into the garden and doesn’t look too garish.
When it has settled in I will take a photo to show how it no longer looks like a sar on the garden. 🙂
