Here I show you how I (finally) laid my own DIY pathway on a budget with path edging on a mortar bed, staggered stepping stones, and gravel in my backyard, leading to my workshop and garden shed.
This DIY walkway is sponsored by Stihl's GTA 26 cordless garden pruner, which you can find a local dealer here: shop.stihl.co.uk/pages/dealer-locator?
You'll also see that while laying my own gravel path in a garden, I used no power tools other than my headphones to keep me motivated and plenty of elbow grease.
There's no need for a cement mixer either during this DIY garden path. Instead, I mixed my sand and cement mortar mix in a mixing tray to lay my block pavers and garden path stepping stones, then topped up the rest with gravel.
As promised, here's how I did some maths and created my stepping stone pathways jig for a quicker workflow: thecarpentersdaughter.co.uk/gardening/diy-stepping-stones-jig/
