my 2305 path project

hcallihan · May 3, 2008

I have an area of woods at the end of my yard the wife likes to garden in but it can get pretty muddy at times so I am putting in a decorative gravel path for her. I dug it out to about 10" depth and put down 9 tons of crushed stone. On top of that I'm using interlocking edging brick and 9 ton of trap rock. Good project to work the muscles after loafing all winter.

Boy, I'm really glad my wife doesn't visit TBN! That is a great looking path. What did you use to dig the 10"? Any ideas for making it easier if you would do it again?

Thanks for posting.

Wow, fine job. Looks like a lot of work, but I'll bet it will be worth it. Should hold up for many years with minimal maintenance. Did you dig that with loader, box blade or what?

Great looking project!!!

I'm sure she'll be happy with it for many years to come. I really like the way it works its way through the trees. Very nice.

Looks great. Now I want to get my hiking boots on and see where it goes!

Dug it with the loader after tilling it and of course some with a good ole shovel!

Often one project leads to another, so with dirt I dug out for the path, I created another entrance to my property.

How long and how wide is the path?]

The state won't allow me to have 2 entrances to my property so i just added 110 feet to my already 40 foot wide drive way.
I still only have 1 entrance but now it's 150 feet wide and I'm still limited to just one driveway.

Is the road in front of your place a state or county road?
Did you have to get a permit to install the second culvert?
I had to get a permit for the 110 foot entension .
