| Anyone Can Make Their Own Garden Paths |
I installed landscape edging making the paths about 4 feet wide. I then purchased 5 yards of crush and run ($181.00) and had it delivered. I made a tamper with a flat piece of wood and a pole. I completed 4 foot areas at a time by placing the crush and run, sprinkling it well with water, and tamping it down. The finished path looks like it was poured with concrete - only it was done at a fraction of the cost of cement. Anyone can do this - I'm a 62 year old lady and I did it myself!

In response to the question, "what is crush and run"? It is a mixture of different size gravel. There are some pieces as large as a golf ball; however, most of it is crushed gravel. It is commonly used to establish driveways and is great at decreasing erosion in difficult areas.

Please clarify what crush and run is. I like the idea and as a 50 year old man, I applaud your efforts and would like to do this myself. Thank you

That looks great! What is "Crush & Run"? I don't know the material type you used.

Is this crushed stone you are talking about?

That looks great. I am impressed! Wondering what the sunken cinder blocks are for? Possibly another great idea? Thanks

Looks very nice, I'm inspired to consider that material for my own bare back yard!
