Pebble walk, add to it or try something new?

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Jul 18, 2014Is it a path you use? if it is, then I suggest using plastic edging, using cardboard, newspaper or landscape fabric to cover the weeds and then making a path to fill with back up with pebbles and maybe some stepping stones (you could even make your own). along the house or garage i would put some pretty plants in pots to greet the passerbyHelpful Reply

Jeanette S on Jul 19, 2014I would put in a fitted stepping stone walkway and edge it with lawn timbers, making sure the ends were drilled an anchored with rebar. This would eliminate having to deal with pea gravel or fillers. Clean out the space thoroughly and use plenty of sand in which to set the stones. (Google instructions on laying stones)Helpful Reply

Robin Grabner on Jul 19, 2014I can see that there are some stones in the ground. Baking soda sprinkled on the path will keep grass and weeds from growing in that area.Helpful Reply

Beverly Turcotte on Jul 19, 2014I would replace it. Doesn't look like much there. I would buy square pathway blocks and in between them the colored stone you put in vases you can buy at a dollar store, put them in between the blocks and pour clear plastic or polyurathane over them. Very pretty !Helpful Reply

Colleen on Jul 19, 2014I like Robins idea of sprinkling Baking Soda to kill whatever is growing. How much work do you want to do? One of the cheapest is puting edging in sprinkle Baking Soda, and pack down some mulch or rocks.Helpful Reply

Pattylawhon on Sep 02, 2014Have you seen the concrete molds for pathways... I am thinking about using some on my next area... the home improvement stores around here sell them... they even have color.. that you can make your concrete red yellow or black... I think the molds are about $25.00 plus the concrete... all of my paths now are pea gravel or decorative rocks.. kinda mixed.Helpful Reply

Lynn Rudd on Mar 13, 2015I have built a firepit surrounded by metal edging out a ways from the pit. I have laid down flat rocks to step on and have thought about pouring pebbles in between the rocks to make it all the same walking height. However, we have lots of leaves in our back yard and to get those out every spring it would be hard to blow the leaves off without blowing the pebbles away as well. If you don't have leaves that would work.Helpful Reply
