This last weekend, I wanted to lay down a sample pathway so I could visually see what my overall plan would look like when finished. So I chose a small section with which to work. Here is a picture of the section I chose for a mock-up.

Above, I’ve already leveled out the ground and raked smooth any chunks and such so I’d have an even space where I could lay down the barrier cloth. My path cover of choice is decomposed granite, which I plan to buy from a local supplier named Whittlesey Landscape Supplies. http://www.989rock.com/ They have some decent prices, great customer service and their deliveries always seems to be on time – makes scheduling a job very handy. If you have a truck you don’t mind getting dirty or scratching the bed (isn’t that what a truck is for?), they’ll also load you up right there.

Anyhow, here is the result of my small sample – this is pretty much what I envisioned when I layed down the plans last year.

Cheers!
