I need an easy gravel path with stones on the side of my house. Is this something I can do on my own? I live in a very wet climate.

Hello! Any gravel path will require some digging. You can do it on your own, but it does require some prep of the area to ensure grass and weeds don't come through and that the gravel has a sturdy base so it doesn't shift or sink. Here are some tutorials on 'simple' ways to do this, but does involve some 'sweat equity':

Lkrupps, this is something you can do, it will take a lot of sweat equity, but it is doable without hiring someone to do it for you. If you have someone that will help you, all the better, it won't be quite as hard on you or take as long to get it done.
