Anne Carey I want to try to accomplish this myself in my back yard. How much excavation is required? Is there a sand layer or anything else under the pebbles? Thanks!

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Pick the Perfect Front Walkway Material

Crushed stone is a fabulous, easy way to create a path with a satisfying underfoot crunch. Just make sure that you lay porous, draining polypropylene underneath the stone and edge it with brick, steel or large stones to keep your stones from migrating.Make your own gravel pathway

added by Marianne Lipanovich to 8 Backyard Ideas to Delight Your Dog

7. Choose comfortable materials. Landscaping materials shouldn't get too hot, should be easy to walk on and ideally should not cling to fur and feet. Concrete, brick, flagstone, pebbles and smooth rocks are all good choices.
