- Laying stone pathways in the garden is a beautiful hardscape option that adds structure to the area and I am so excited to have this project done before the rainy season comes. It took me two months to do all of these stones, but the result is well worth the time and effort. Next up, I'll be planting elfin thyme between the stones.

Very very nice and hy hallo
I know this was a tremendous endeavor, BUT you did such a wonderful job!! It looks beautiful!! I want to do a stone path and will be watching every video you have made as a guide!! Congratulations on a huge job well done!! 👍
Thank you! It was hard work but so worth it. The only thing I would change in hindsight is I wouldn't bother burying the stones so deep next time because they sunk in quite a bit during the first winter. I hope you enjoy your project as much as I enjoyed mine!
Fantastic young lady! You are tough. All those wheel barrel loads. Dang💪
Thank you! It was definitely my summer workout this year. We did the math and between the edge stones and the pathway stones I moved about 10,000lbs! 😳
Way to stick to it, and holy moley do we totally understand that idea of long projects taking much more effort to film well! Great job! That walkway looks incredible and definitely looks like the labor or love that you described it to be. We haven't done something like this on our own land yet, but we had a heck of a time trying to work on leveling a piece of land we built our green house on. We used a stone tamper to great effect when placing our cinderblocks, though I'm not sure with the flagstone irregular shapes, if that'd even work for something like this. Regardless, it is incredibly satisfying for things to be flat and not rock back and forth and to look level, like that pathway does.
Leveling land by hand is such hard work, it must have been so satisfying to see your greenhouse go up after all that effort! These types of projects are definitely a labor of love and patience. I always begin to wonder why I decided to do a project like this somewhere around halfway through, but feel grateful I did when it's all done.
That is a lot of work but it looks great! I am in the planning stages of a similar project of my own (although thankfully not as large). You laid a base of sand for drainage/leveling and then added some dirt on top? I want to have some sort of groundcover between my stones as well but am not sure how to reconcile that with the sand base. Thanks!
How fun! It is hard work but definitely worth it! When I talked to the nursery about elfin thyme they said many people assume that because it is draught tolerate that they can just use sand in between the stones, but they let me know that this is inaccurate and that soil is needed. So when I was filling in the space in between the stones I used soil. I intended to have the soil about 1/2 inch lower than the stones so that the thyme was somewhat level with the stones but the dirt filled in higher and now the thyme is higher than the stones, so my only live-and-learn recommendation would be to try to leave that 1/2 inch of space from the top of the stones if you can. Have fun!
