The gravel in the video is 1/4" La Paz from KRC Rock.
The stepping stones are 24" square from Southwest Boulder and Stone

By the way, don't use Pay Pal. A friend of mine who is 93 years old and suffering from cancer tried to use Pay Pal to pay a vendor. My friend deposited the funds into the Pay Pal account but Pay Pal refused to release the funds to the vendor. Worse, Pay Pal refused to refund the money to my friend. Pay Pay ripped off my friend. Don't use them.

@ElaineMisseri 26 дней назад

Do you recommend using fabric barrier under the lower layer of crushed stone to prevent weeks from growing in the stones?

@tylergarza1738 Год назад

I am curious about transitioning from a pathway to another landscaping feature such as a yard. I am constructing a side yard path that will run from the back gate into the back lawn and am not sure how to terminate the pathway where it meets the yard. I don't want to have edging just sticking up at the ends, any advice?

@2minutegardener639 Год назад

The edging is meant to contain the pebbles. Without it, the pebbles will slowly get mixed with the planting bed mulch. Some clients are ok with that look and do it without the edging.

@Ebiru2387 3 месяца назад

I want to do this on a pathway with a downgrade, do you have any suggestions or considerations? Its a gradual slope, very minor but its downward sloped.

@2minutegardener639 3 месяца назад

Stepping stones can become slippery if installed at an angle. Try putting a little bit of mortar underneath one edge and install the steppers level. That way you are creating a little stairway.

What do you do to stop the gravel from tracking or getting kicked out of the footwalk? Thanks!

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

bigger rocks or little bit of polymeric sand

@LionTribe713 Год назад

What type of borders are those?

@2minutegardener639 Год назад

Synthetic Bender Board.

@Alex-lg4dy 2 года назад

So if you have a good base already, do you need to dig to a certain depth before laying the landscape fabric or edging?

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

I recommend an inch deeper than the stepping stone depth. So if you have a 1 inch stepping stone, dig 2 inches.

@jordanmanzo23 2 года назад

And did you use the mats that stop weeds

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

yes

@naturegirllover Год назад

Great video, what did you do to lay the stepping-stones within the bark. Can you tell me the process please. Also I have to laugh I live in Oregon now but I lived in El Cajon for 25 years. 😊 I certainly could have used your help when I live there

@2minutegardener639 Год назад

Thanks for watching! The stepping stones in the bark area were laid on the same decomposed granite as the other ones.

@TheCbrooks001 2 месяца назад

How do you keep the mulch from ending up all over the stones?

@2minutegardener639 Месяц назад

Either use a broom or a mulch with very little movement like Gorilla Hair mulch

@1butterontoast 2 года назад

Looks great. Did you put down weed barrier under the decomposed granite?

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

Yes!

@merk-110 2 года назад

Great video. Would it make sense to apply a concrete mix underneath the stepping stones? I've seen that in a few other videos.

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

Possibly! This particular area has rock hard native soil so everything was pretty stable

@Xx_eeveemocha_xX 2 года назад

Hi…if I want to add step tone (or without step tone) n pebble rock along 2 side of my driveway n my driveway is a little bit up the hill …so just still adding sand after remove the grass? Will the water gonna wash away the sand too since my driveway is little bit up hill ?

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

You will probably need to add a little support under each stepper on the walkway if there is a slight incline. I little bit of concrete might be the most stable.

@rasicule 5 месяцев назад

For pavers that are directly in the mulch, is there any additional prep? Do you need to underlie those pavers with gravel or anything? I am looking to set up a short stepping stone path leading to my hose bib/faucet (maybe 3 or 4 stepping stones/pavers).

@2minutegardener639 4 месяца назад

Yes, you need to use some kind of base that is compacted and won't decompose, like the DG in the video

@kevinmartin8735 2 года назад

How do you calculate for how much base and gravel that you need? I have a space that is 6 x 27 feet

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

In general 1 cubic yard of gravel will cover 125 sq ft 2 inches deep

@kevinmartin8735 2 года назад

@@2minutegardener639 appreciate it boss!

@thelmadelacruz7664 4 месяца назад

Hi can i use limestone screening as a base then in between the slab the gravel stones

@2minutegardener639 Месяц назад

yes

@dandygg.1022 2 месяца назад

Do you need to add gopher wire and weed cloth?

@2minutegardener639 2 месяца назад

Those are always good ideas

@andrewmayo3878 Год назад

I have a question about preparing the base to an area of soil that’s a little softer, especially after a rain….do you use the class 2 base and decomposed granite as a base or is the class 2 base all you use before adding pavers and stones?

@2minutegardener639 Год назад

Yes, I definitely recommend using class 2 base, then the leveling sand, then the steppers. We didn't use the road base because the ground was practically solid rock.

@matthewthomason57 6 месяцев назад

did you lay the pavers directly on the mulch?

@2minutegardener639 6 месяцев назад

No, mulch will break down and the pavers will become unsteady. Always lay stepping stone on some type of crushed rock product like decomposed granite of road base.

@AyoiTsGrizz 6 месяцев назад

The space between the pavers are 6inchs?

@2minutegardener639 4 месяца назад

4 - 6 inches

@sylviamolyneux-carr214 2 года назад

hi there what did you use to get straight edges thanks in advance

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

The contractor used a string line staked at 2 ends to guide the bender board edging

@wafalafsaihi5057 2 года назад

What kind of step stone is this

@2minutegardener639 2 года назад

These are 20" square concrete steppers

@jimbiff 4 месяца назад

What edging is that?

@2minutegardener639 4 месяца назад

Synthetic bender board
