For a good two months now i have been intermittently working on making a walkway starting at the gate in the fence i don’t quite have done toward the shed.
It is made from broken up pieces of sidewalk but requires me to dig a good 5 inches into the gravel fill that was once part of the driveway. I want the “stones” to be flush with the surrounding “soil” so that a lawnmower can just go right over the top. (I envision grass growing in the cracks.) Today i put 8 new pieces in the ground making the total project 16 pieces total right now.

It is kind of fun - simulating an old walkway… my hands welcome the work. Especially when the weather is nice.

it looks good. how long did that take? it would be cool if moss grew in the middle. very artisian of you.

Well, even if i plant grass seed there will end up with moss there - you know how it is. The whole project has a good 5 hours into it - plus the time to get the concrete pieces. That’s pretty disheartening - at that rate i have at least 20 more hours to go and at least one more gathering trip.

yeah you can invest some serious time in to these type of projects if you can only work on them here and there. i land scaped for the largest landscapeing company on the east coast for 2 years (farley and son) and i built alot of these puppies. alot of them from pavers and flat rocks. the biggest thing is makeing shure that your base is as level as possiable and that it packs tightly like hard pan does. which i realize can be hard here depending on your property. blue stone and the sand they use for payvers works real well underneath and in between your “payvement pieces”. no matter what you use grass will grow up through and moss will grow on it regardless. good luck with it and when ya wanna build a nice rock wall or flower garden bed let me know cause i miss doin this stuff. landscapeing kicks ass!

I don’t make them - i take them. But yeah - the concrete foundation for the pool is big bucks.
