So plan and build them yourself

First step: the planning

Before you start work, you should plan exactly where the new garden path will go and what purpose it will serve. Maybe he should paved would or would you rather have one Gravel path? Heavily used paths also need a solid one Substructure. Accordingly, you can calculate and procure the required material.

Second step: the purchase

You can get material for a garden path at a hardware store or garden center, for example. A price comparison with different providers makes perfect sense. Do you want one inexpensive way, then take a look around at what are known as B-goods. Often the small defects that led to the price drop are barely or not at all noticeable.

You need at least a car for transport, but a trailer is recommended for larger quantities. After all, cobblestones are or Pavement slabs pretty hard. Maybe your hardware store will deliver free of charge or cheaply if you need a large amount of building material.

Third step: implementation

Take enough time if you want to build your garden path yourself and also check the weather report beforehand. You should not do paving work in persistent rainy weather. After excavating the path, place the curbs, preferably in a concrete foundation. This should dry for a while. Only then do you lay the base course.

To ensure that your path has a long service life, you should compact the base course well. A vibrator is very helpful here. Ask at your hardware store whether you can borrow such a device there. The already laid stones should also be pounded or shaken well.

The essentials in brief:

• plan carefully
• Estimate material consumption
• Compare prices
• Delivery may make sense
• work carefully, especially when paving
