One doesn’t require any extra skill to lay a stone path. If you have a strong back and an eye for fitting jigsaw puzzles, you can weave a casual garden path. There are various kinds of stones, bricks and pebbles which are used to make a path.

For constructing any stone path you need to have a good elementary plan in your mind. You have to make sure whether you want to make the path straight or curving. Once you decide its shape you need to decide its route, wideness (at least it should be three feet wide so that 2 people can easily walk).Tools and material such as pavers, bricks, tamper, gloves, landscape fabric, safety goggles, tape measure, rubber mallet, string, plywood, wood stakes, small sledgehammer, pencil, framing square, brick hammer, garden hose, pitching chisel, spade, broom, sand, gravel, and kneepads are required.

First of all just dig five inches deep soil along the path which you have decided using spade. Moisten the soil in the excavated area with water and tamp it down with a tamping tool. Thereafter place landscape fabric on the dug area and then put some sand over it (around 2 inches).Now set down the stones on the soil, try to make the gap between 2 adjacent stone as small as possible. Continue laying rocks along the path. If there is any gap between 2 big rocks then small rocks can b used to fill the gap. Now brush or sweep off the surface of the stones lightly and moisten the path with water.

Make sure that the stones are not slippery when wet. Also keep in mind the drainage system for the path, decide the slope in the beginning itself. There are various types of path such as House Path, DIY Paths, New Oak Tree Path, Oak Tree Path, Willow Tree Path, Dog-Paths, Hen House Garden Path, Laundry Garden Path, Middle Garden Path, Wattle Woods Garden Path etc.
