How do I build a walkway from the side of my house to my back patio?

Here's a video that may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTUuWxBIrU8

Lay out your pattern with the garden hose and then spray paint along the lines. Cut out the area so that you can place small gravel or sand down. Tamp well. You could put in some edging to keep the grass from creeping in. Once you have laid down the sand, you can then either lay down patio stones, which come in various sizes, or the smaller bricks. Once that is done sprinkle a bit of dry cement and sand into the cracks and brush in. The concrete powder will solidify and help to keep out the ants and weeds.
