Robinava- it sounds like a great idea. My mom is planning to do something similar with her side path around the house. I don't have any info to offer, but I'm curious to see what recommendations you get from the more experienced people on this forum.

All the garden forums have been slower lately, but I'm sure you'll get some good responses very soon. Good luck with your pathway :)

I have one advice, make sure beforehands that the ground underneath is well drained. Thymes do not like wet feet.

I second that. They like to be dry, plenty of sun, too.

All of the pavers are going to be going down hill so I think that the drainage should be ok. Plan to use a combination of soils so that I can have good drainage.

Question, my pavers are 13/4 inches thick. Will that give me enough soil for the thyme to grow or will I have to dig down further?
