Stone Art, How I Built a Pebble Pathway

- The area near our parking lot was quite difficult to organize. It had a sharp and narrow soil bed where we were growing Cotoneaster bush for many years. This year that bush died and I am showing you how I am installing a pebble path there to widen the area for my kids' bikes, make it more durable and beautiful. Enjoy!
This is one of the most beautiful garden improvements I have ever seen. I've had this video saved since you posted it, and now, I just purchased my forever home, and I will be doing this project in the coming months! Thankyou :)
If you use a cement sealer it will make the pebbles look like they do when they're wet, kind of stand out a little more.
Beautiful. Thank you for the peaceful wonderful informative video.
You remind me of me, I love doing stuff like this! You have given me ideas what do with patching my cracked concrete. Thanks so much!
Very inspiring. I can picture placing tiny colored rocks in the other cement area. I'm going to give this a try.
Started watching you because of the roses but I am so enjoying the variety of things you have presented. These ideas are manageable because they are DIY. You are very clever.
Thank you so much 😊
I love this project. Charming.
That was awesome👌🏾
Great solution for that corner. Your flow of stones like a current is very natural and appealing, creating a visual segway from the interlock stones to the plants .
I have experienced the best success with cotoneaster when grown in fairly rich moist soil, mostly in sun in a spot where the radiating branches can hang over a height….as from a berm, slope or terraced area of garden. It doesn’t seem to last on a flat surface where it’s easier to be buried under ice and or snow…that is a sure cause of die back.
I especially like that it’s evergreen.
That spot was exactly what cotoneaster was not designed to do, foot traffic and shade from cars. My little replant is doing fine and I am glad that you have great success with your cotoneaster plants. Happy gardening!
@@OlgaCarmody I was hoping your replant was thriving. They are actually quite hardy, despite setbacks. I like cotoneaster very much and when I see what the price is in our local garden center, I’m glad I have one that I can propagate from.
I love it ! Plus it looks so much better than that dead brown looking shrub .. lol 😂
It would be pretty to add a pot of flowers on there too , that way you could change out the flowers for the seasons . ♥️
That might be a good option. Thanks.
Gorgeous! You can use thinset to repair a few loose stones.
Thankyou for your information..❤
Thank you for this video. I have always wanted to do this, but wasn't sure if I could. You gave great advice. I think I shall give it a try!
You can use slow hardening, usual cement for this project as well. Good luck!
Very clever ! I am going to do this in the children's garden and have the grandkids help with adding wee treasures within it ! This will be so much fun , thank you for the inspiration 💙
Wonderful! It is not as difficult, and as you said, all sorts of treasures can be added to pebbles.
What a lovely solution. I have just the spot for it in a side yard . I might do an entire path from front to back, especially since it's a project that can be done in pieces at different times. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a wonderful, artistic solution to this problem. My mind is spinning, trying to think of ways I can incorporate this idea into my garden. Than you for the inspiration! 💚
You are welcome!
You did a great job. I like the weeping tree in the background, it is very unusual. X
Yes, that is my Weeping Larch, magnificent tree!
That looked lovely! I've got a tonne bag of jade coloured pebbles and will be using them for paths. It's going to be a lot of work!
You are going to love it!
I love this project! You gave me an idea to fix the inside of my birdbath with mosaics!
A very neat idea . It turned out nice !!
Thank you! 😊
This is a great idea, especially if you live somewhere, like I do in the Catskills of New York, where the soil is filled with small stones. We always say "5 pounds of dirt contains 10 pounds of rocks."
You are amazing!
Very creative ❤
Wow I really love that!! Your so talented!!💕💕
I wouldn’t have thought to place the rocks sideways instead of flat! I’m sure that Yarrow will drop seeds and fill in the soil area! Nice!
Very pretty idea. I have been binge watching your channel for about a week, and have learned a lot! Thank you sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Thank you, Laura! Welcome to my channel! I am glad you are enjoying my videos!
Beautiful and artistic path.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Marvelous work of art!
Looks real nice, might try that !
GREAT VIDEO! This gives me some encouragement.
Excellent. You just gave me a great idea. I am doing landscaping in my backyard and this is something I will use. Many thanks.
Have fun!
Wow. I just love it. ♥️
Love this project!!
Your lovely stone-mosaic walk is an inspiration to me for the community garden in Milwaukee - thank you! (I knew there was a good reason to pick up good rocks.) My only consideration is that I had learned that when repairing concrete, the replacement piece must be at least 2 in (5 cm) thick to survive usefully in our temperate climate. Does that extrapolate to sidewalks, or would the smooth-rock pattern strengthen the unit? Hmmm, the engineer in me says, 'Better err on the side of caution', but the fun, impulsive adhd-brain says, 'Let's go!'
Love it I always wanted to do that so I think I’ll put it in the plans👍❤️😎
OH! I LOVE it! I hope to do this in my garden! THANK YOU, Olga! I was so excited to see this video pop up in my feed. ❤
Yes, you are welcome! Not a big project, but very interesting for small spaces.
What kind of tree is behind the Cotoneaster? Very pretty and ingenious solution to the problem!
It is a beautiful weeping larch. I did a video on it, it is How to grow Weeping larch. Very graceful tree in my garden.
wow I love this idea! can you please share where you found so many nice stones?
We inherited them with the house, previous owners had a stone path and we saved all the stones for future projects. Different stones are sold in Home Improvement stores in 25 pound bags, I believe.
I remember your request about the black netting. I realized that I do have a video how I made it. Here it is -th-cam.com/video/OWPRWJPiIf8/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps.
@@OlgaCarmody Thank you very much! I will check it out!
Beautiful. Thankyou 😃 I wonder if this would work over an existing concrete walkway?
Not sure, never tried on concrete walkway. I would say that cement might dislocate with time, since pressure from foot traffic would be great. But not sure. You can try and let us all know.
@@OlgaCarmody thanks for your reply, I will try it 🙃
Love it!
Olga, thank you, what’s the big tree above? Larch?
Yes, that is my majestic leaping Larch! Isn't it pretty?
Clever girl💕
You're so brutal with that plant. Ugh.
You talk more than you act.not a good video you make here.try again sorry.
