The walkway from the house to the patio was built the same way, with a much narrower box, a layer of landscape cloth, screeded, tamped and leveled stone dust, a layer of cloth and then the patio stones. This time however I selected 2ft x 2ft patio stones to make a wider walkway. These stones were awkwardly heavy weighing over 80 pounds each. Thankfully there were only five to place.
The soil here is very fertile making for excellent topsoil but being of glacial till it is full of rocks of all sizes which is awkward to rake and smooth, so I created a sieve fashioned from wood and ½ inch hardware cloth that can be seen here installed on the ATV trailer. I reused the quality soil to do the finish landscaping.
