Hello,

I built this garden path in front of my wrap around deck.

A cheap way for building a flgstone path?

Why not to use flat stones residues from a tombstones maker!

An ecofriendly project!

Steps:

1. Materials and tools

2. The walkway base

3. Lay the tombstones

4. Fill gaps between stones
