Steps & Stones: Four Easy Yard Path Projects

Only have a weekend to add a pathway to your yard? Steps & Stones: Four Easy Yard Path Projects will easily guide you through the process and can help you finish by the time Monday rolls around. Inside you will find color photos, expert step-by-step instructions, safety concerns, and tools and materials you will need. Projects include a sandset brick path, a flagstone path, and timber and gravel steps.
Excerpt from the Book:
One of the great things about building a new walkway is the number of options you have to choose from. Few other building projects offer so many choices of materials, configurations, and even locations.

If a patio is a stage from which you can enjoy the outdoors, walkways and paths are the ties that bring it all together, linking the house, patio, garden, lawn, driveway, and any other points in between. Pathways unify various landscape elements in both functional and perceptual ways: they define spaces, direct traffic, and make it easy to travel from one place to the next. They also draw a line between separate, sometimes distant, spaces—joining them visually and inviting us to venture on to the next destination. Thinking about patios and walkways together is a smart choice, as both can transform an outdoor home.
