Putting in a path
Following the Leylandii removal work I now turned my attention to putting in some interest in the garden by adding a path
Upcycling old paving
Reuse materials you already have to hand
While clearing out the back of the shed I found lots of old crazy paving slabs stacked up and covered in years of dead leaves. I put these to one side to re-use at a later date on my crazy paving patio project
Preparing the path
Weed membrane & hardcore base
I had a couple of tonne bags of limestone crush mix delivered to put down over the weed membrane to form a base for the path.
It was hard work collecting this from the front drive a wheelbarrow at a time, but good exercise.
Word of warning - if you have children the small stones probably aren't the best option in the world if you don't want them kicked on your lawn or thrown in ponds! :)
Job Done
Putting in a path
Adding a path to the bottom of the garden really gave it a structure. The fact you could wander round it endlessly was not lost on my little girl who enjoyed walking her prams around it.
