Stepping Stones
Stepping stones are one of the most affordable ways to create a walkway or a patio. These structures are rather economical to build and easy to repair when done properly. They could be the solution you have been looking for!
There are various materials that can be used to create these types of walkways and patios. The most common one is flagstone due to its smooth surface, looks and durability.
There is one important point to remember though. This pieces are installed just on a 2" to 3" thick pad of stone dust, so the pieces must be big and heavy to avoid movement and grass eating them away.
To install these stones, just dig a 3" deep flat hole with the shape of the stone on the ground, compact the dirt and the stone dust base on such hole, and then place the stone leveled on top. That simple.
Finally, if you do not like the look of independent stones on the ground (which looks natural and really beautifull when the grass is around) we can install a gravel walkway instead, which is also very affordable way to create a "mud free" walk (just remember to install a layer of weed barrier or geotextile under the gravel to avoid grass growing on it).
Have in mind a couple of points before starting. These two projects seem easy to do, but they are labor intensive, and the materials are not that cheap when you look for nice looking stones.
Remember that this is an overview of a few pointers for stepping stone installation and gravel walkway installation. There are many details and techniques that are not explained here. If you need a professional to install or just help you with your DIY walkway, gives us a call. We offer free estimates for all Montgomery County and Maryland!!
