Steps to Laying Your Stone Walkway

This is an easy DIY project, but if you’d rather leave it to the professionals, CIE Ltd. can handle the installation at an affordable cost!

1. Plan Your Path

Decide on the shape and design of your walkway. Do you want a curved, winding path or a straight, structured look? Mark out the path using a garden hose or spray paint.

2. Prepare the Ground

Dig out the area to a depth of about 4 inches, ensuring the base is even. Lay down a weed barrier to prevent unwanted growth between stones.

3. Add a Solid Base

Fill the trench with crushed stone or sand, available at RCIP, and compact it for stability. This helps with drainage and keeps your stones in place.

4. Lay Your Stones

Carefully place each stone, leaving small gaps for aesthetic appeal. Use a rubber mallet to secure them in position.

5. Fill the Gaps

Pour fine sand or gravel into the spaces between stones and sweep it across the surface to lock everything in place.

6. Enjoy Your New Walkway!

Step back and admire your work! A beautifully laid stone walkway not only enhances your home but also adds a sense of tranquility to your outdoor space.
